How to Park in a Parking Space?
2 Answers
Keep a distance of approximately 1.5-1.8 meters between one side of the vehicle and the boundary line, shift into reverse gear, and observe the alignment of the lower edge of the rearview mirror with the yellow line. Then, turn the steering wheel fully to the right and reverse. During the right-side reverse parking process, observe the right-side rearview mirror. When the distance between the right side of the vehicle and the corner of the parking space is about 30 cm (visually estimated as two fingers' width), straighten the steering wheel.
Parking into a space is actually not difficult. I learned it as a beginner, and the key steps are to slowly approach the parking spot, first turn on the turn signal to alert others, and check the rearview and side mirrors to ensure safety. Then align with the target. If it's reverse parking, I prefer to drive the car slightly past the parking space and make slight steering adjustments while slowly reversing to maintain even spacing on both sides. When practicing, find an open area and use poles or lines as reference points to avoid rim scratches. After practicing a few times, I felt much better at controlling the distance and became more confident in parking. Don’t forget to close the doors and windows properly to ensure the vehicle is safely parked.
