It is better to steer early rather than late when reversing into a parking space. Below are the key points for reversing into a parking space (using right-side reversing as an example): 1. First point: When the lower edge of the left rearview mirror aligns with the parking line parallel to the left rearview mirror, turn the steering wheel fully to the right. 2. Second point: When the most protruding part of the car body and the right corner of the parking space appear to be two fingers' width apart in the right rearview mirror, turn the steering wheel one full turn to the left. 3. Third point: In the right rearview mirror, when the right corner of the parking space points to the middle of the front door handle, turn the steering wheel fully to the right again. 4. Fourth point: When you see the left rear corner of the parking space in the left rearview mirror, immediately straighten the steering wheel. 5. Fifth point: The stopping point when entering the parking space is when the lower edge of the left rearview mirror is about to align with the parking line parallel to the left rearview mirror.

How to Interpret Traffic Signals for Left Turns?

Interpreting traffic signals for left turns requires judgment based on different lane positions. If there is only a straight-ahead signal, you may turn left when the straight-ahead signal is green, provided it does not interfere with oncoming traffic. If driving to turn left, simply follow the arrow indicators. When approaching an intersection, follow the signal prompts to enter the left-turn zone, move into the left-turn lane, and proceed with the left turn once the left-turn signal ahead turns green. Traffic signals, which direct traffic flow, typically consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, green permits passage, and yellow serves as a warning. If the road has only arrow signals, a green left-turn arrow means vehicles can turn left. If the road has both arrow and circular signals, when the left-turn arrow is off or not lit and the circular signal is green, left-turning vehicles may proceed left while straight-moving vehicles go straight. If the road has only circular signals, a green light allows left-turning vehicles to turn left and straight-moving vehicles to proceed straight. When approaching an intersection, slow down in advance to observe traffic signals and lane indicators. Especially at unfamiliar intersections, reduce speed early to check signals and signs. This ensures safe driving. If the intersection has a continuously flashing yellow light, it indicates a need to slow down and proceed with caution, observing vehicles from all directions and giving way to larger vehicles when possible.
