Methods for Rear-side Parking?

By entering the parking space head-first, half of your vehicle's body will already be inside the space. At this point, there's no need to worry about another car taking the spot behind you. This method is easier to manage on wider roads. However, in narrower areas like residential communities or parks, it might feel a bit cramped. Currently, the most standardized method for reverse parking is the one used in the Subject 2 driving test. It's also a common technique employed by many drivers.

I practiced parallel parking for a long time before getting good at it. Start by observing – find a suitable parking spot that's at least 1.5 meters longer than your car, otherwise you might scratch it. Always signal before shifting into reverse to alert other drivers; don't skip this step. When reversing, gently turn the steering wheel to the right while checking both side mirrors and over your shoulder. When the car is at about a 45-degree angle, straighten the wheel and continue backing up. Keep the speed slow and avoid sudden braking to prevent passenger discomfort. For beginners, I recommend practicing in an empty parking lot using two old cars as reference points – you'll develop precise positioning with practice. Always check blind spots by looking over your shoulder to confirm no pedestrians or cars are approaching. After several attempts, confidence will come. Don't get discouraged – driving skills improve with practice.

I remember when I first started learning to drive, parallel parking was particularly daunting. The method is actually simple: first, align with the car in front, keeping about a one-meter gap. After shifting into reverse, turn the steering wheel all the way to the right and slowly back up. When you feel the rear of the car approaching the curb in the side mirror, straighten the steering wheel and continue, while keeping an eye on the side clearance to avoid getting too close or having the wheels drop off the curb. For safety, always check your surroundings before reversing, especially blind spots—don’t rely solely on cameras or sensors. Practice is key; I used to go to an empty lot near my neighborhood on weekends to practice, bringing a small mirror to check angles, and improved quickly. After parking, engage the handbrake, turn off the engine, and step out to check if the car is parallel to the curb.

The key to parking is finding the right reference points. I usually drive parallel to the front car, leave some space, shift into reverse, and turn the steering wheel fully to the right while backing up. When the curb becomes visible in the side mirror, quickly straighten the steering wheel and continue reversing. Finally, make minor adjustments to ensure the car stays within the parking space. The entire operation should be steady, with speed not exceeding 5km/h, and brake control should be smooth without sudden stops. Check the distance from cars in front and behind to avoid paint scratches.
