How to Steer the Wheel in Subject 2 Reversing?
2 Answers
Subject 2 Steering Wheel Techniques Mnemonic 1. Reverse Parking: Start by reversing to the right, turn the wheel fully right and wait to enter the garage; straighten the wheel upon entering and make slight adjustments, a half turn is sufficient; exit by turning fully left, hold and shift to reverse gear; return the same way to straighten into the garage, exit to the right to complete. 2. Parallel Parking: Stop parallel and shift to reverse, turn fully right at the point; straighten upon seeing the garage corner, after the left mirror rear wheel enters the garage; turn fully left until parallel, turn on the signal and exit while straightening. 3. Curve Driving: Be cautious in curve driving, adjust frequently with about one turn; delay steering slightly to ensure the rear doesn't cross the line. 4. Right-angle Turn: The simplest is the right-angle turn, aim accurately and turn fully. 5. Slope Fixed-point Parking and Start: Adjust direction slightly for fixed-point parking, make small frequent adjustments to edge closer.
I remember when I was first learning to drive, steering during reversing in Subject 2 was a challenging part of the test. The instructor taught me to steer in the opposite direction: when you want the rear of the car to move left, turn the steering wheel to the right; conversely, to move right, turn left. This principle is based on the car's steering logic, where the front wheels play a leading role when reversing. When backing into a parking space, I often used reference points to align with the corner of the garage. If the rear of the car deviated upon entering, I would quickly counter-steer to adjust, but not too much, as it could easily lead to crossing the line. Speed control was crucial; I preferred using the half-clutch state to operate slowly, which gave me time to observe the rearview mirror. With more practice, I found that anticipating directional deviations in advance and making small steering adjustments was more efficient. During the test, getting nervous could easily lead to steering the wrong way, so I would take a deep breath and remind myself, 'Left move, right steer; right move, left steer,' which worked quite well. Familiarizing myself with the car's feel before practice also helped reduce mistakes.
