Tips for reversing into the garage: After getting into the car, the driver should first adjust the seat and rearview mirrors, fasten the seat belt, then shift the car into reverse gear, release the parking brake lever, and start reversing at idle speed. The driver observes the garage through the right rear window. When the black edge of the right rear window aligns with the right boundary line of the garage, turn the steering wheel steadily to the right to the limit position. After the car enters the garage, the driver should look back at the left rearview mirror. When the entire left boundary line of the garage appears, immediately straighten the steering wheel. When the left door handle is level with the bottom line of the garage as seen in the left rearview mirror, stop immediately. Points deduction items for reversing into the garage are as follows: Not following the prescribed route or sequence, deduct 100 points; vehicle body crossing the line, deduct 100 points; failing to reverse into the garage, deduct 100 points; stopping midway, deduct 100 points. Subject 2 has a full score of 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. The test is passed if the following conditions are met: ① For applicants of large buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required; ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required.
I've summarized quite a few tips for the reverse parking test in Subject 2 from my driving practice. The key is to identify reference points accurately: when the rear bumper is parallel to the corner of the parking space, turn the steering wheel fully left or right depending on the parking direction. Then, keep an eye on the rearview mirror and quickly straighten the wheel once the car body aligns with the side line. Move as slowly as a crawling snail—never rush to accelerate, or the car might tilt. Practice makes perfect; for instance, I use my left shoulder to align with the line as a reference. Be decisive with steering wheel movements but avoid jerky turns to prevent the car from swerving out of line. During adjustments, check both side mirrors and make slight steering corrections to keep the tires from crossing the line—this is especially crucial during the test. Stay relaxed and don't stress; take a few deep breaths before operating, treating the test as calmly as your usual practice sessions.
When it comes to reverse parking techniques, I often remind students to pay attention to several key points. Before starting to reverse, park the car in the designated position with the body as straight as possible. Then, while reversing, look at the left rearview mirror and turn the steering wheel sharply to the left when the corner of the parking space appears. Once the car body is parallel to the line, immediately straighten the steering wheel. Controlling the speed slowly is crucial; just lightly press the clutch. Steering wheel movements should be steady and accurate, not too forceful. If the car body deviates during the process, don't panic; a slight adjustment of the steering wheel can straighten it out. During practice, use simulated points to reinforce memory, such as placing a marker near the parking space for assistance. Remember to fasten the seatbelt during the test, and maintaining a calm mindset is most important to avoid mistakes due to nervousness.
