How to Operate Parking Skills?

After the car enters the parking space, keep looking left and right at the rearview mirrors. Use your eyes to judge the distance between the car body and the lines on both sides, aiming to keep the width equal on both sides. However, in reality, one side is often wider than the other. At this point, the speed of the car must be well controlled with the clutch. You should just feel the car moving, and with a slight turn of the steering wheel, the car body will tilt accordingly. Keep observing the left and right rearview mirrors. When the width on both sides becomes equal, quickly straighten the steering wheel, and the car body will be in a straight position. Continue to control the speed with the clutch and slowly reverse. The main technique for correcting an unaligned car body is to turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction and then straighten it at the right moment.

I've been driving for over a decade and can park with ease. First, align the car parallel to the parking space, keeping about one meter distance, and check the rearview mirror for safety. Shift into reverse and slowly back up, turning the steering wheel according to the parking space direction—for example, turn right if the space is on the right. When half of the car is in, straighten the wheels and adjust. Controlling the speed is crucial; avoid sudden acceleration to prevent scrapes or collisions. Practice more to get a feel for it and familiarize yourself with the car's turning radius. If you can see the parking space lines in the rearview mirror, you're on the right track. Common mistakes for beginners include oversteering or turning too sharply—using a backup camera can help. Always be mindful of changing road conditions, such as wheel slippage on rainy days, and clear any water puddles before parking for added safety.

When I was learning to drive, my instructor taught me the most practical method for parking. After aligning the car with the parking space direction, slowly reverse while checking the side mirrors. Start turning the steering wheel when the rear of the car aligns with the entrance of the parking space, but avoid turning too sharply to prevent scraping. If the parking space is on the left, turn the steering wheel slightly to the left at a small angle while maintaining a steady speed. Once the car body enters the space, straighten the wheels and make minor adjustments. The key is to control the throttle gently to avoid slipping. During practice, find an open area and set up markers like trees or poles as references. Don’t rely on automatic parking; manual operation helps build judgment and is more reliable. Common issues include misjudging distances or the car body tilting, but with more practice, you’ll get the hang of it, boosting confidence while keeping safety the top priority.

I just got my driver's license and used to panic when reversing into parking spaces. Now my trick is to find a reference point, like turning the steering wheel slowly when I see the corner of the parking spot in the rearview mirror, avoiding sudden forceful turns. While reversing, I keep a close eye on surrounding pedestrians and vehicles, gently tapping the throttle to control speed—never stopping abruptly like slamming the brakes. If the garage is too narrow, I choose a larger reference point, adjust once or twice after backing in, then straighten the wheels to complete the maneuver. Practicing more reduces mistakes, but the key is staying calm and composed.

I prefer simple and reliable parking methods. Drive the car next to the parking space, assess the available space before reversing, and make small steering wheel adjustments while moving slowly. Frequently check the angle changes using the rearview mirrors. Keep the speed under 5 km/h to avoid the wheels crossing the lines. In crowded underground garages, be cautious of vehicles behind you; if necessary, stop to straighten the car before proceeding. For beginners, it's recommended to practice in residential areas, avoiding rush hours, and use the parking radar to assist with positioning. Safety is paramount—getting it right the first time saves time and hassle.

I used to frequently make mistakes and scrape against the garage wall, but now I understand the key to parking. Position the car accurately, reverse steadily, and use the side mirrors to judge the entry angle. Straighten the wheels when half of the car body is inside and make adjustments. Control the speed—don’t go too fast—and lightly press the throttle to maintain stability. Practice in an open area by simulating parking spaces, such as using cardboard boxes as reference points, and repeatedly test your turning feel. Common mistakes like steering too sharply or misjudging distances can be improved by refining your process and paying attention to daily factors like tire wear affecting handling. Persist a few times, and you’ll get the hang of it.
