How to Observe the Dotted Lines at the Entrance of Reversing into the Garage in Subject 2?
2 Answers
The specific methods for observing the dotted lines at the entrance of reversing into the garage in Subject 2 are as follows: 1. When there is only one dotted line in the middle: In this scenario, the best approach for students during left or right reversing into the garage is to observe from the rearview mirror until the wheels press against the end of the two protruding lines. 2. When there are two dotted lines at the garage entrance: In the second scenario, where there are two dotted lines in the middle at the garage entrance, the optimal method is to observe from the rearview mirror until the wheels press against the end of the middle dotted line. Note: In Subject 2, pressing the mirror (rearview mirror) against the line during reversing into the garage does not count as crossing the line. As long as the body or wheels do not press against the line, it is not considered crossing the line and does not fall under the category of the body crossing the line. Penalty items for reversing into the garage include: not following the prescribed route or sequence (direct penalty of 100 points), the body crossing the line (penalty of 100 points), failing to fully enter the garage (penalty of 100 points), and stopping midway (penalty of 100 points).
I remember when I was learning to drive, I was particularly nervous during my first practice session for reverse parking. The instructor taught me how to use the dashed lines at the entrance of the parking space. These dashed lines are mainly observed in the rearview mirrors, especially the right one, to ensure the car body aligns with the parking spot. Generally, when the right rear wheel just touches the dashed line at the entrance, you should quickly turn the steering wheel to swing the front of the car in. At the same time, keep an eye on the left rearview mirror to check if the dashed line is too close to the car body to avoid crossing the line. During practice, I often made mistakes, such as turning the wheel too early, causing the rear of the car to exceed the line, or turning too late, resulting in the wheel rubbing against the solid line, which led to failing the test. It took several practice sessions to get the hang of it: the speed must be slow, don’t rush, and adjust the rearview mirrors for a clearer view. The dashed lines act like an invisible guide, helping you judge the distance—don’t just focus on the outside. During the test, staying calm and doing more mock tests will help a lot.
