Should You Release the Clutch or Brake First When Reversing into a Parking Space?

Subject 2 reversing into a parking space starts with releasing the clutch, and there is no need to press the brake. Below is an introduction to the content of Subject 2 and techniques for reversing into a parking space. Content of Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the field driving skills test. For the C1 license, the test items include five mandatory components: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves. Techniques for reversing into a parking space: After getting into the car, first adjust the seat's front and back position, and set the backrest to a comfortable angle to ensure free movement of the steering wheel and optimal visibility of the car's hood. Adjust the left and right rearview mirrors so that the car body appears in about one-third of the mirror, with the rear door handle visible at the top edge of the mirror. For right-side reversing, shift into first gear, align the car head straight, and drive out of the parking space in a straight line. When the car hood just covers the opposite side line of the parking space, turn the steering wheel fully to the right. When the car body is parallel to the left side line, straighten the steering wheel and continue forward until the car head crosses the sensor line. At this point, the distance between the car body and the left side line should be within the optimal range to ensure that the subsequent reversing does not cross the line. For left-side reversing, shift into first gear and move forward. When the front hood just obscures the roadside line, turn the steering wheel fully to the left. Once the car head passes the roadside line, press the clutch, step on the brake pedal, shift into reverse gear, and keep the steering wheel fully turned to the left. When the front line of the parking space is about to disappear from the rearview mirror, stop the car to complete the left-side reversing.
