What Causes the Rear of the Car to Cross the Line During Parallel Parking?
2 Answers
The frequent crossing of the line is usually due to stopping too early or parking too far from the line. You can drive a bit further forward before stopping, ensuring the car body is slightly closer to the parking space line. When parking, try to position the car a little to the right, which makes it easier to reverse into the parking space. Of course, maintaining proper distance both in front and behind is also important. More related information is as follows: 1. Parallel Parking: Parallel parking is a part of the second subject in the driving test. It has become increasingly common in urban areas, especially as parking spaces in regular parking lots become more limited. Many places have converted street sides into parking spaces, known as 'parallel parking spaces.' 2. Note: In the past, parallel parking involved four poles placed on the ground to symbolize the four corners of the garage. One criterion for successful parking was whether the vehicle entered the garage without touching these four poles. After the implementation of new traffic regulations, parallel parking no longer uses poles; instead, ground markings define the garage boundaries. For learners obtaining a C1 driver's license, the length of the parallel parking space is 1.5 times the vehicle length plus 1 meter. Drive the vehicle parallel to the garage in the forward direction, then reverse into the garage to the right rear without any pauses. As long as the vehicle is parked within the boundaries without crossing the side lines, it is considered a pass.
Side parking with the rear of the car crossing the line is quite common in real life. I believe the main reason is misjudging the position of the rear. Many people don't carefully observe the line in the rearview mirror when starting to park, causing the wheels to turn too late or too early. If the road has a slope, it can also make the car slide slightly and cross the line. Another factor might be driving too fast, failing to control the timing of steering wheel adjustments. I remember making the same mistakes when I first learned to drive, but I gradually corrected them through practice. My advice is to observe the overall distance before parking, use markers to position the car body, and utilize the reversing camera for assistance. In short, parking slowly and staying calm can help avoid crossing the line, ensuring safety and convenience.
