Is hitting the right line during right reverse parking due to steering too early or too late?

Hitting the right line during right reverse parking is due to steering the wheel too early. Below is an introduction to the knowledge about the Subject 2 driving test: 1. Definition: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It refers to the field driving skills test. The test items for cars (C1 and C2) include five mandatory items: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curves). Some regions also include a sixth item, high-speed card collection. 2. Reverse parking techniques: Maintain a stable speed: Keep the vehicle speed at a steady and very slow pace. (Release the clutch slowly and steadily, avoid sudden lifting and frequent pressing and lifting). Correct steering technique: The method of steering should be correct; otherwise, it will be difficult to control the direction of the vehicle's movement, making it unclear how much to turn the wheel back or whether it has been straightened.
I think hitting the right line during right reverse parking is usually caused by starting the reversing action too early, meaning the steering wheel is turned too hastily at the beginning, causing the car to turn too soon and the trajectory to veer right. I've encountered this situation myself when learning reverse parking—I kept hitting the right line at first, but it improved after adjusting the starting position and the timing of turning the steering wheel. Remember, reverse parking is all about rhythm: ensure there's enough distance between the car and the parking space edge before starting, keep an eye on the rearview mirror to monitor wheel position, and delay turning the steering wheel by a few seconds to let the car glide in slowly. Practice more in different scenarios, such as using small cones instead of lines to get a feel for it, to avoid mistakes during tests. For safety, if you hit the line, straighten the steering wheel and try again to prevent scraping nearby objects or pedestrians.
