What are the B2 reverse parking techniques?

The car body is tilted, and it is easy to cross the line during reversing, and it is also easy to press the corner of the garage when exiting. Keeping the car body straight is the key, and the key is to learn to correct by observing the rearview mirror. When starting to reverse, you can first turn the steering wheel half a turn to the right to keep the car body slightly inclined towards the garage direction while reversing. When the rear of the car is about 1 meter away from the garage boundary line (the extension line extending towards line 1), start turning the steering wheel to enter the garage (do not turn the steering wheel too early, which means the car should turn more smoothly). After the rear of the car enters the garage, the steering wheel should still be kept close to the fully turned state. When the extension line of the car's midline swings into the bottom edge of the garage about 50 centimeters, return the steering wheel.
When learning the B2 reverse parking at the driving school, I found that the most important skills are controlling the speed and observing the reference points. At the beginning, I have students adjust the seat and rearview mirror positions first to ensure clear visibility; when reversing, maintain a very slow speed, such as no more than 5 kilometers per hour, so there is more time to react to the steering. The key reference point is when the lower edge of the rearview mirror aligns with the edge of the parking line, start turning the steering wheel, and when straightening, make sure the car body is parallel to the parking line. Common mistakes include turning the steering wheel too fast or too slow, which can easily lead to crossing the line. I recommend beginners start practicing in an open area, using tape to mark the reference points, and practice for one or two hours daily to build muscle memory. Be especially cautious of slipping risks on rainy days. Reverse parking is a fundamental skill, and only through practice can one master it and perform flawlessly during the test.
