How to steer when exiting to the right?

When reversing out of the parking space, you can turn the steering wheel by one-third once the rear of the car clears the garage door. Wait until the front of the car clears the garage door, then quickly turn the steering wheel to full lock to exit. For normal forward exit, turn the steering wheel to full lock as soon as the rear wheel reaches the garage door to exit.
Back when I first started driving, what I feared the most was reversing out of a parking space, especially when turning right. Remember, when exiting to the right, it's mainly about reversing—you need to turn the steering wheel to the right so the rear of the car swings out to the right. First, shift into reverse gear, slowly release the brake, and once the car starts moving, check the left and right rearview mirrors to confirm there are no people or vehicles nearby. Then, turn the steering wheel to the right about half to a full turn—don’t turn too quickly, or the front of the car might scrape something on the left. Maintain a low speed throughout the process. As the car slowly backs out, adjust the steering angle as needed; if it feels off, turn slightly to the left to correct it. The key is to practice multiple times—find an empty parking lot and repeat the maneuver until you get the hang of it. Reversing out is a basic skill—just stay calm, keep an eye on your surroundings, and you won’t make mistakes. Beginners tend to rush, but going slower is actually safer. Now I can handle it easily, all thanks to this experience.
