How to Tell if the Car Body is Straight When Parking?

Turn on the turn signal and check the rearview mirror; change lanes to the right when it is safe to do so. Slowly steer to the right until the middle of the car's front aligns with the white edge line, then immediately steer back to the left. When pulling over, check the right rearview mirror to ensure the car body is parallel to the side line (within 30 centimeters), then gradually straighten the car body.
When I first started learning to drive, I was particularly careful about checking if the car was parked straight. After parking, I would first look at the parking space lines, trying to align both the front and rear of the car parallel to them. If it was crooked, I would make slight adjustments with the steering wheel to move it. Then, I would check the rearview mirror to confirm that the left and right wheels were aligned with the curb or reference objects, such as a wall or pillar. Sometimes, if I was too nervous, I would glance outside the window to see if the distance between the car body and the surrounding parking spaces was equal on both sides, avoiding scratches. After more practice, I started to get a feel for it, and parking became much easier. Remember these small tips, and adjust flexibly according to the actual environment—step by step, it becomes a habit. In short, observation and practice are key; take your time and don't rush.
