How to Steer When the Rear of the Car Veers to the Right While Reversing into a Parking Space?

If the rear of the car veers to the right, steer to the left. When the car body straightens, return the steering wheel to the center position. Based on the rear of the car, if you want the rear to move closer to the right, turn the steering wheel to the right; if the rear veers to the left, steer to the left, then return the steering wheel in the opposite direction to straighten the car.
When I usually reverse into a parking spot, I'm most afraid of the car's rear swinging to the right. Let me get straight to the point: at this moment, you should turn the steering wheel to the left. Don't get the direction wrong—I used to make that mistake a lot when I first started learning to drive. Turning the steering wheel to the left actually helps the car's rear move back to the left. Remember not to correct the angle too much; about half a turn is enough. Turning too much will make the rear swing too far to the left. It's best to make slight adjustments while keeping an eye on the left and right rearview mirrors, and be sure to go slow! If the wheels are about to touch the line and you still can't adjust in time, it's better to drive forward a bit and start reversing again. Forcing it might scratch the rims. Practice a few more times to get the hang of it—the relationship between the car's rear and the parking line in the rearview mirror is the most intuitive.
