How to Steer When Reversing and Turning While Looking at the Rearview Mirror?

[CaliFitz]

Here are specific techniques for steering when reversing and turning while looking at the rearview mirror: 1. Before reversing, check the situation behind the car, estimate the reversing path, and determine if the front of the car might hit any obstacles during the process. Then proceed to reverse, avoiding pressing the accelerator and keeping the speed low. 2. According to the direction the rear of the car needs to move, use your left hand to turn the steering wheel: if the rear needs to move toward the right rear, turn the steering wheel to the right; conversely, turn it to the left. This is the same as the steering operation when driving forward. 3. During reversing, do not constantly look behind. While ensuring the rear is safe, periodically observe the left and right rearview mirrors, pay attention to the distance between obstacles and the car body, and use the steering wheel to adjust the car's position accordingly. 4. If you feel the front of the car might hit an obstacle during reversing, also check the front at appropriate times to avoid collisions. Especially when the steering wheel is turned significantly, since the turning radius of the front wheels is larger than that of the rear wheels during steering, the front of the car swings outward more during reversing, so be extra cautious to avoid scraping the front.
