Should You Look at the Front Door Handle or Rear Door Handle When Reversing into a Parking Space?

When reversing into a parking space, you should look at the rear door handle. While adjusting the direction, keep the car in reverse gear and maintain the steering wheel at its left-turn limit position, then continue reversing. The driver should observe the left side mirror and adjust the direction to guide the rear of the car into the parking space. Once the car is inside the parking space, the driver should check the right side mirror. As soon as the entire right boundary line of the parking space becomes visible, immediately straighten the steering wheel. Below are some key points to note when reversing into a parking space: 1. Control the driving speed: Maintain a consistent speed throughout using first gear or reverse gear at idle speed. The speed at which you start should be the speed you maintain. 2. Control the timing of steering: During reversing, observe carefully and master the critical points for steering adjustments. 3. Control the driving path: The car's path during the test primarily depends on the speed of steering wheel adjustments and driving speed. When reversing, accurately align with the boundary lines and promptly correct the direction to ensure the car enters the parking space straight.
