In Subject 2 reverse parking, adjust the right rearview mirror first, then the left one. Below is a detailed introduction to the methods for adjusting rearview mirrors in Subject 2 reverse parking: 1. Observe the surroundings: Before reversing, first clearly observe the situation behind the vehicle, estimate the reversing path, and determine whether the front of the car will hit any obstacles. Try not to press the accelerator while reversing, and control the speed to avoid going too fast. 2. Determine the direction based on the rear of the car: According to the needs of the rear movement direction, use the left hand to turn the steering wheel: if the rear needs to move toward the right rear, turn the steering wheel to the right; otherwise, turn it to the left. In fact, this is consistent with the steering operation when the car is moving forward. Remembering this will prevent wrong turns and confusion. 3. Don't keep looking behind while reversing: During the reversing process, don't keep looking behind the car. While ensuring the safety behind the car, you need to observe the left and right rearview mirrors from time to time, pay attention to the distance between obstacles and the car body, and accordingly use the steering wheel to correct the position of the car while reversing. 4. Pay attention to the front of the car: During the reversing process, the front of the car may hit obstacles, so it's necessary to check the front of the car at appropriate times. Especially when the steering wheel is turned significantly, because during the turning process, the turning radius of the steering wheels is larger than that of the rear wheels, the front of the car swings outward more during reversing, so be sure to pay attention to the front of the car to avoid collisions.
As someone who has passed the driving test, I believe the key to parallel parking lies in the clarity of the rearview mirrors. Adjusting the side mirrors: For the left mirror, adjust it so you can see a small portion of the car's rear body and the position of the rear wheel, which helps in clearly seeing the parking lines. Similarly, the right mirror should also show a bit of the car body and the tire position. The interior rearview mirror should be adjusted horizontally to align with the rear window, ensuring a full view of the area behind the car. During practice, I recommend first adjusting the angles in an open space, then slowly backing up to test, while remembering to check both the front and rear views in the mirrors. If not adjusted properly at first, it's easy to cross the line or hit the pole—I practiced dozens of times at the driving school before getting the hang of it. Keep practicing, and you'll find that with the mirrors correctly adjusted, parallel parking becomes much easier, and even side parking will feel more natural.
