Is the left side narrow in Subject 2 reverse parking due to steering too early or too late?
2 Answers
Left reverse parking is due to steering too early, while right reverse parking is due to steering too late. Reverse parking tips: 1. Keep the speed slow: When starting to reverse, maintain a slow speed to allow time for adjusting the car's position. In summary, drive slowly and steer decisively. 2. Maintain 30cm: This refers to the distance between the car body and the corner or line of the parking space. Keep this distance approximately 30cm. Regular observation and practice are essential to develop a feel for the car. 3. Learn to adjust: During the test, you might steer too early or too late. The key is to learn how to correct the direction before fully entering the parking space. Use the rearview mirror to monitor the distance between the car body and the line, and make timely adjustments.
I remember always struggling with this issue when practicing driving. The instructor said that if the left side is too narrow, it's usually because you turned the steering wheel too early. As soon as the rear of the car entered the corner of the parking space, I hastily turned the steering wheel to the left, causing the tires to squeeze along the left line, leaving only a narrow gap. That time, I saw in the rearview mirror that the door handle was still a whole water bottle's distance away from the corner when I fully turned the wheel, making the instructor slap his thigh in frustration. Actually, leaving about 30 centimeters between the car body and the side line is the safest. Turning the steering wheel two or three seconds later actually makes the position more stable. Now that I think about it, turning the steering wheel too early is like lifting the lid too soon when boiling dumplings—you just let all the steam escape for nothing.
