Is hitting the right line during reverse parking too early or too late?
1 Answers
When performing a right reverse parking, consistently hitting the right corner of the parking space is usually due to turning the steering wheel to the right too early during the reverse. Normally, you should quickly turn the steering wheel to the right when the lower edge of the side mirror reaches the parking line—this is the so-called reference point for right reverse parking. However, due to factors such as vehicle speed, the distance from the side line when stopping, and the speed of turning the wheel, it's not always possible to perfectly reverse into the space every time at the reference point. Below is some relevant information about reverse parking in the driving test (Subject 2): 1. Keep an eye on the mirrors: During reverse parking in Subject 2, always pay close attention to both side mirrors. If you notice one side is wider, slightly turn the steering wheel in that direction to prevent the other side from crossing the line. Also, when initially determining the timing to turn the wheel, make sure to turn it decisively without hesitation. 2. Maintain distance: During the reverse process after turning the wheel, as the rear of the car gradually enters the parking space, the wheels should maintain a 30cm distance from the corner of the space. Students should continuously observe this in the mirrors and make corrections if the distance is less or more than 30cm; otherwise, the car will definitely cross the line after entering the space.
