Should You Signal Left or Right When Reversing?
1 Answers
Generally, you don't need to use turn signals when reversing because the reverse lights already alert vehicles behind you. Using turn signals could mislead following vehicles. Additional common mistakes when reversing into a parking space: 1. Hitting the corner of the parking space: Solution: If unsure about the right timing when reversing, it's better to turn the steering wheel earlier rather than later. As long as you can control the speed to slow down, you can still successfully park. 2. The car body crossing the line when reversing: Solution: Observe the distance between the car body and the left and right parking space lines simultaneously to ensure they are roughly equal; when reversing, steer towards the side that has more space. 3. Reversing beyond the line at the back: Solution: During practice, always maintain the correct sitting posture. After standard reversing, pay attention to and memorize the reference points.
