What are the steering techniques for reversing into a perpendicular parking space?

Vertical parking space entry techniques are: Make full use of the aisle width to "angle" the car as much as possible; When reversing, observe the left rearview mirror and pay attention to the distance between the left rear wheel and the adjacent vehicle; After backing into the space, also be mindful of the rear position to avoid hitting the wall. Make full use of the aisle width to "angle" the car as much as possible: This can reduce the angle between the car and the parking space, minimizing the steering wheel movement and the number of back-and-forth adjustments during reversing. When reversing, observe the left rearview mirror and pay attention to the distance between the left rear wheel and the adjacent vehicle: When the car is "angled" enough that the driver's side mirror can see the corner of the vehicle to the left of the parking space, you can start reversing. Once your left rear wheel passes the front of the left vehicle, shift your focus from the left mirror to the right rearview mirror to assess whether the distance between your rear end and the right vehicle is safe. After backing into the space, also be mindful of the rear position to avoid hitting the wall: If the parking lot is too dark to see the rear clearly, you can rely on the reverse radar warning sounds or align your car's side mirrors with those of the adjacent vehicles.
