Is the Right Reverse Parking Narrowing Due to Steering Too Early or Too Late?
2 Answers
The reason for the right side narrowing during right reverse parking is steering the wheel too early. Here are the precautions for reverse parking: To perfectly enter the parking space during reverse parking: The timing of turning the steering wheel clockwise is crucial—it should be neither too early nor too late. If steered too early, it's easy to hit the right parking line; if too late, it's easy to hit the left parking line. This requires accurate judgment. Keep the speed slow: During reverse parking, the most important thing is to maintain a slow speed. If there's any deviation while reversing, the car's body may tend to touch the line. Timely detection allows for corrections, such as promptly straightening the steering wheel. However, if driving too fast, there won't be enough time to make adjustments.
When the car body gets closer and closer to the right-side parking line during reverse parking, it's mostly because you turned the steering wheel back too early. During the reverse parking process, turning the steering wheel too early causes the car body to turn inward prematurely, resulting in a very narrow space on the right side and a large gap left on the left side. For example, if you turn the steering wheel back before the reference point is reached, the front of the car hasn't fully entered the parking space, and the right front corner hits the parking line too early. At this point, don't force the reverse; instead, drive forward half a meter to readjust, and try turning the steering wheel again after the parking line disappears from the rearview mirror. Next time, remember to turn the steering wheel back a bit later. After the car body is parallel to the parking line, straighten the steering wheel in one go to avoid crossing the line.
