What are the four most accurate reference points for B2 reverse parking?
2 Answers
B2 reverse parking reference points: the lower edge of the rearview mirror, the corner of the garage, the bottom corner of the garage, and the stopping point. Here is an introduction to the method of reverse parking: First point: Observe the left rearview mirror. When the lower edge of the mirror aligns with the dashed line, quickly turn the steering wheel fully to the right. Second point: Continue observing the right rearview mirror. When the right side of the vehicle is about 30cm away from the garage corner, straighten the steering wheel. Third point: When the right rear wheel is on the extension line of the garage, turn the steering wheel fully to the right. When you see the garage corner, straighten the steering wheel and slowly enter the garage. Fourth point: When the lower edge of the left rearview mirror aligns with the yellow line in front, stop the car.
Having driven for over a decade, the four most precise points for reverse parking are: first, turn the steering wheel as soon as the corner of the parking space appears in the rearview mirror when starting to reverse, ensuring the entry angle is accurate. Second, when the center line of the rear of the car aligns with the parking line, turn the steering wheel back halfway to control the turning rhythm of the car body. Third, adjust until the car body is parallel to the parking line, and check the rearview mirror to confirm the wheels are straight. Fourth, for the final parking position, aim for the bottom of the rearview mirror or stop when the front wheels touch the line to ensure the car is centered without crossing the line. Personally, I believe mastering these points can significantly reduce time wasted. Practice these steps a few more times when parking in the neighborhood, remember to keep the speed slow, safety first, and don’t rely too much on the parking sensors—keep your eyes sharp.
