What are the dimensions of the reverse parking diagram?
2 Answers
The standard dimensions for a reverse parking garage are as follows: For small cars, the garage length is 5.25 meters and the width is 2.3 meters. For large vehicles, the dimensions are 16 meters in length and 6.83 meters in width. The evaluation criteria for reverse parking: failure to follow the prescribed route or sequence results in disqualification; the vehicle body crossing the line results in disqualification; failure to fully enter the garage results in disqualification; stopping midway results in disqualification; exceeding 4 minutes results in disqualification. Reverse parking mnemonic: Reversing in and out isn't hard, fasten the belt, shift gear, and flash the left light. Press the clutch and release the handbrake, slowly lift the clutch to start gently. Watch the right line to adjust the car body, align the left mirror's vertical gap with the right line. Stop when the front line aligns with the shoulder, shift to reverse gear and release the clutch. When the left mirror covers the corner of the horizontal line, turn the steering wheel fully to the right. Watch the left mirror for the garage line, turn back one circle at a 30-degree angle, and when the car is parallel to the line, straighten the steering wheel with two full turns. When the left mirror covers the front corner of the garage, press the clutch and brake. Shift to first gear to exit, turn the steering wheel fully to the left when the car head touches the line. Stop when the car head covers the line, keep the steering wheel steady and reverse. Watch the right mirror for the garage line, turn back one circle at a 30-degree angle, and when the car is parallel to the line, straighten the steering wheel with two full turns. When the left mirror covers the front corner of the garage, press the clutch and brake. Shift to first gear to exit, turn the steering wheel fully to the right when the car head touches the line. Stop when the car head covers the line, adjust the car body skillfully. The new garage has no poles to look at, only ground markings, and the garage length is much shorter than the current one, just enough to park a car completely. The process is to reverse in from the right, then drive out and turn to the left, then reverse back in, and finally drive out to return to the starting point. This process is very simple, without the current exam's step of moving the car within the garage.
I've driven many cars and often teach friends how to parallel park. Typically, the standard parking space dimensions are about 2.5 meters wide and 5-6 meters long, which is sufficient to accommodate most family cars with a width under 1.8 meters. In actual parking situations, these dimensions have helped me avoid many scrapes, such as when a garage is too narrow and risks scraping the wall. I've also found that practicing with dashed lines or ropes to simulate these dimensions can improve accuracy, especially since many parking lots nowadays have unclear markings, requiring you to judge distances yourself. Additionally, the vehicle's wheelbase affects the parking angle, with mid-sized cars like SUVs possibly needing an extra 0.5 meters of space. In short, remembering these basic dimensions is key for beginners, and frequent practice can help new drivers get the hang of it faster and reduce nervousness.
