What are the techniques for aligning with arrows in Subject 2?
2 Answers
Here are the relevant techniques for aligning with arrows in Subject 2: 1. Rearview mirror method: When the door handle of the car body is almost aligned with the sideline in the rearview mirror, the 30 cm alignment is very accurate at this time; 2. Hood method: Many test vehicles are from the Poussin series, so to find the 30 cm alignment, you can directly align the 1/3 point of the vehicle's hood with the sideline. For vehicles like Jetta, you can use the small central dot of the wiper to align with the sideline, and then combine it with the first method for observation, which also makes it easy to maintain the 30 cm distance; 3. Simple auxiliary judgment method: During the test in the examination area, there are often tire marks. If you really can't find the alignment, look for these marks, although there may be some risks, or they may not be visible in rainy weather. Additionally, there are auxiliary arrows in the examination area. You can also align the steering wheel with the arrow and follow it. For example, many driving schools have arrows in the slope starting project, and aligning with the arrow makes it easy to solve the 30 cm alignment problem.
A few days ago, I took my students to practice the slope stopping technique, where the key to aligning with the arrow lies in identifying the right reference point. I usually have them focus on the raised part on the right side of the engine hood. When this point aligns with the tip of the arrow on the ground, it means the front bumper is in the correct position. At this moment, they must decisively press the clutch and brake—even a delay of a fraction of a second can cause the car to roll back. The steering wheel should be straightened in advance, as any deviation to the left or right will result in point deductions. A similar method can be applied in reverse parking by observing the distance between the car body and the arrow in the rearview mirror. A common mistake students make is focusing solely on the arrow while neglecting speed control, so I always remind them of the importance of maintaining the semi-clutch state. Mastering these details can significantly improve their exam pass rate.
