2 Answers
Here are the tips for reverse parking: 1. Adjust the left and right rearview mirrors: The rearview mirrors should be adjusted to a suitable angle for yourself, which can help observe the ground markings. 2. Check the rearview mirrors: Reverse parking requires checking the rearview mirrors, and you may need to learn how to do it correctly. 3. Measure the distance between the car body and the side line: The requirement for reverse parking is that the distance between the car and the starting line or roadside line should be about 1.5 meters. 4. Control the speed: There are specific speed requirements for reverse parking, and you must never drive too fast. Additional information: Here are some precautions to note when reversing: 1. Be aware of blind spots: Almost all vehicles have blind spots, and even convertibles cannot avoid them. Most accidents caused during reversing are due to blind spots, especially those involving hitting or running over children, which are almost entirely caused by blind spots. 2. Do not rely too much on electronic aids during reversing: Vehicles have blind spots, and electronic aids like parking sensors also have blind spots. If you rely solely on these aids during reversing without actually observing the surroundings with your eyes, it can be very dangerous. These aids are only supplementary and cannot be fully relied upon. Always observe more during reversing and double-check for any unusual situations.
Parallel parking becomes much easier once you master a few key points. After twenty years of driving, I've found the crucial step is first aligning your car's rear with the parking space entrance before turning the wheel. At this point, check your side mirrors to ensure equal distance on both sides. Turn the steering wheel quickly and return it promptly - no hesitant movements. Turning the wheel to the quarter position is safest, leaving enough room for adjustments. When the parking space corner disappears from your mirror, straighten the wheel, then make minor adjustments when tires approach the line. Many drivers rely too much on backup cameras, but the truly reliable references are your side mirrors and turning your head to check. For tight garages, adjust your side mirrors downward to see the rear wheels beforehand. After parking, always engage the handbrake before turning off the engine - never get lazy and just shift to P to leave.
