What are the reasons for always pressing the right line when reversing into the right bay?
2 Answers
The reasons and solutions for always pressing the right line when reversing into the right bay are as follows: 1. Steering too early: (1) The first full turn of the steering wheel (1.5 turns to the right) is too early. (2) The second full turn of the steering wheel (1.5 turns to the right) is too early. Solution: Adjust the timing of turning the steering wheel based on the actual situation. 2. Returning the steering wheel too late: The first return to the center position of the steering wheel is too late. Solution: Adjust the timing of returning the steering wheel based on the actual situation. 3. Improper body alignment: The body is not corrected in time after entering the bay. Solution: Adjust the position of the body according to the situation.
When I first started learning to drive, I always pressed against the right line when reversing into the right garage mainly because I turned the steering wheel too quickly or got the direction wrong. I remember during my first practice, my starting position wasn't aligned properly, the car body was leaning to the right, and as soon as I started reversing, I pressed against the line. The rearview mirror wasn't adjusted correctly either, making it hard to see the roadside line clearly. Plus, my hands and feet weren't coordinated—I turned the steering wheel to the left when I should have turned it to the right, causing the car body to veer directly to the right. Later, my instructor taught me: straighten the car body before reversing, and start a bit more to the left; turn the steering wheel in small angles, don't rotate it too much; keep the speed slow, and use the rearview mirror to monitor and adjust the side distance. After practicing a few more times and getting the hang of it, things became much smoother.
