What are the key tips for aligning reference points when reversing into a parking space?
1 Answers
The techniques for aligning reference points when reversing into a parking space are as follows: 1. Entering the S-curve: When entering the S-curve, pay attention to the position of the front of the car, try to keep the outer front wheel close to the right edge of the curve, and drive in 1st gear with half-clutch. Do not stop during the process. While moving forward, also observe the left and right rearview mirrors to keep the car aligned with the S-curve. 2. Turning left: Drive close to the right side. When the left front corner aligns with the right edge line, turn the steering wheel one full turn to the left while making slight adjustments to keep the left front corner and the right edge line aligned. This ensures the car follows the S-curve to the left without crossing or leaving the line. After completing the left turn, prepare to turn right. 3. Turning right: When the left front corner gradually passes the right edge line of the left turn, keep the steering wheel steady. Once the right vertex of the hood touches the left edge line of the right turn, straighten the wheel and move forward slowly for a short distance. 4. Fine adjustments: When the left 1/3 of the hood touches the left edge line of the right turn, turn the steering wheel one full turn to the right while making slight adjustments to align the right front corner with the left edge line of the right turn. This ensures the car follows the S-curve to the right without crossing or leaving the line. 5. Exiting the curve: When the car exits the S-curve and the front is aligned with the exit, quickly straighten the steering wheel and continue forward to leave the curve driving test area.
