There are several reasons for a wide right side during right reverse parking: Steering wheel turned too late: A wide right side during right reverse parking is actually caused by turning the steering wheel too late during reversing. If the rear of the car is still far from the corner of the parking space (about 30 cm away) but the right front door handle has already reached the extension line of the right boundary of the parking space or even beyond it to the left, then the steering wheel has been turned too late, making it easy to hit the left corner or boundary of the parking space. The entire car body leaning left: If the car body is parallel to the parking space but the entire car body is leaning left, not adjusting it may cause the left front corner of the parking space to be hit when exiting to the left. Therefore, you can first turn the steering wheel to the right by 1/4 turn, observing that the front wheels do not easily cross the line. When the distance on the right side is about right, turn the steering wheel to the left by 1/4 turn. When the car body is parallel to the parking space again, straighten the steering wheel.

How to Correct Direction When Reversing into a Parking Space?

Memorize the approximate positions of each reference point in your mind. To accurately identify these points, you must first adjust the seat and rearview mirror to fixed positions. Use the clutch to control the vehicle speed. If the speed is too fast, press the clutch down slightly; if the speed is too slow, release the clutch a bit. After completing the above two steps, aim for the reference point and turn the steering wheel decisively to the correct position. When about to enter the parking space, maintain a distance of 30cm between the wheels and the corner of the parking space. Continuously observe through the rearview mirror and make corrections if the distance is less than or greater than 30cm.
