Is Hitting the Right Line During Parallel Parking Exit Due to Steering Too Early?
2 Answers
Hitting the right line during parallel parking exit is not caused by steering too early. Below are detailed explanations regarding parallel parking exit: 1. Reason: Hitting the right line during exit is unrelated to the timing of steering but is due to exiting too quickly. When exiting at high speed, pay attention to the right rearview mirror to adjust speed. If the right car body outline does not touch the line, the exit is successful. 2. Precautions: During parallel parking exit, adjust the left, right, and interior rearview mirrors properly. Lower the left rearview mirror enough to see the left rear wheel, adjust the right rearview mirror to see the car body, and set the interior rearview mirror to view the rear windshield.
Hitting the right line when exiting a parallel parking space is often due to turning the steering wheel too early. With twenty years of driving experience, I've noticed that beginners are most prone to this mistake. When you first start moving out of the parking spot, if you turn the steering wheel left too sharply or too soon, the excessive front wheel angle causes the car's front to turn left rapidly, making the rear right wheel's trajectory extend outward and naturally increasing the risk of hitting the right line. The key is to let the car move forward slightly as a whole first. I usually wait until I can see the entire lower edge of the front car's bumper in the side mirror before smoothly turning the steering wheel to exit. This creates a more natural turning arc and leaves enough space for the rear wheels. Remember to continuously check both side mirrors during the exit process. If you notice the right side of the car getting too close to the line, promptly correct by slightly adjusting the steering wheel.
