How to Tell If the Car Is Fully Parked When Reversing?
2 Answers
When the rear of the vehicle has entered the parking space but the front has not yet, and the car body is tilted with the rear leaning to one side. First, use the center rearview mirror to observe whether the middle position of the parking space aligns with the middle position of the garage's bottom line, allowing a deviation of up to 10 centimeters on either side.
As someone who has driven for many years, I believe checking whether the car is properly parked in reverse mainly relies on the rearview mirrors and reference points. When reversing, I focus on the left and right rearview mirrors to ensure the car body is parallel to the garage boundary lines; if the rear of the car is vertically aligned with the wall or pillar behind, and the tires are centered without touching the wall, then it's properly parked. During practice, I always find an open space to set up markers, such as looking at the painted lines on the ground or fixed pillars, and slowly move until aligned. The decreasing or stopping of the reverse radar alarm sound is also a good signal. If the garage has shadows, turning on the lights helps confirm details and avoid blind spots. In short, with more observation and practice, you'll soon be able to judge intuitively without needing to step out and check.
