How to Use Reference Points for Parallel Parking?
1 Answers
Parallel parking using reference points involves the following steps: 1. Before parallel parking, adjust the vehicle position. When the front wheels cross the parking line, slow down and observe the left rearview mirror. When the lower edge of the mirror aligns with the parking line, prepare for parallel parking. 2. While reversing, observe the right rearview mirror. When the right rear wheel appears parallel to the curb line, immediately turn the steering wheel fully to the right. 3. Observe the left rearview mirror. When the inner corner of the parking space becomes visible, straighten the steering wheel. 4. Continue observing the left rearview mirror. When the left rear wheel touches the curb line, turn the steering wheel fully to the left. 5. Following this method, the vehicle will gradually align. Observe both left and right rearview mirrors. When the car body is parallel to the curb lines on both sides, straighten the steering wheel to complete the parallel parking.
