What are the techniques for reverse parking?

[Edmund]

Techniques for reverse parking are as follows: 1. Parking skills: The main points for deduction in reverse parking include pressing the line, the car not entering the garage, overtime, and not driving according to the prescribed route. After the new regulations reform, reverse parking has added a time limit, which must be completed within 210 seconds. Overtime results in disqualification. During the test, first reverse to the right, then to the left. Not following the sequence will result in disqualification. Pay attention to the 30cm margin issue when reversing. 2. Parking skills: The main points for deduction in parallel parking include the turn signal, 30cm margin, and pressing the line. When entering the test area, turn right in advance and observe the highest point of the wiper coinciding with the roadside line to adjust the 30cm margin. When reversing, remember the first right turn point, straighten, turn left to the end, park in the garage, turn on the left turn signal, and observe the rearview mirror when exiting to prevent the wheels from pressing the line on both sides. 3. Turning skills: The main points for deduction in right-angle turning include the turn signal and pressing the line. After entering the test area, turn on the turn signal. After the voice prompt, turn off the turn signal. Incorrect operation of the turn signal will deduct 10 points. After entering the right-angle turn, adjust the body and the 30cm margin of the side line. The viewing point is the same as parallel parking. When turning to the end, you can slightly loosen the clutch to prevent stopping or stalling midway. After the rear wheels exit the garage, straighten the body to prevent the wheels from pressing the line.

I think mastering reverse parking comes with experience. After driving for over a decade, I've found the key is choosing the right reference points - like aligning the wheels with pillars or ground lines in the rearview mirror before turning the wheel. The speed must be snail-slow, never rush to get it in one go. First adjust the car parallel to the garage entrance, then reverse. Different vehicles require different approaches - compact cars have tighter turning radiuses, while SUVs have larger blind spots requiring extra checks for obstacles. Always verify distances with the backup camera rather than relying on gut feeling to avoid scrapes. Practice frequently in empty spaces, maybe with someone guiding you. With enough practice, you'll develop the intuition to handle even tight parking spots effortlessly.

When I first started driving, I was also quite nervous about reverse parking. Now I've picked up a few tricks: first observe the garage position and gate width, park the car straight and parallel, shift into reverse gear and slowly back up, keeping an eye on the rearview mirror and reverse camera (if available). When you see the wheels approaching the edge, gently turn the steering wheel. Keeping the speed low is key - going too fast can easily cause misalignment. It's okay to reverse multiple times, just don't be reckless. When visibility is poor at night or in rainy weather, use auxiliary lights to brighten up and ensure you can clearly see if any pedestrians or vehicles are approaching. Find an open space to practice repeatedly until muscle memory forms - this will give you more confidence when facing actual parking spots later.

Safety first when reversing into a parking space. I always move slowly and double-check blind spots. Use both rearview and side mirrors to monitor the surroundings—stop immediately and wait a few seconds if people or animals pass by. Be extra cautious in bad weather like heavy rain or fog; if visibility is poor, roll down the window to listen or ask a companion to check the position. Before starting, ensure the reverse lights are on to alert others. If nervous, take deep breaths to stay calm—proceed step by step without panic, and readjust if the position is off. Practice regularly to get familiar with the car’s turning angle. The key is to inspect everything beforehand to ensure complete safety.
