What does it mean to touch the right line when reversing into the garage?

The first full turn of the steering wheel was too early, the first correction of the steering wheel was too late, the second full turn of the steering wheel was too early, and the car body was not adjusted in time after entering the garage. Turning the steering wheel too early will cause the car to touch the right line, while turning too late will cause it to touch the left line. Whether it's right or left reversing into the garage, the two most important points are crucial. The following are the precautions for reversing into the garage: 1. Keep a distance of about 1.5 meters from the line: Besides not touching the left road line, ensure the car body is parallel to the line. To avoid touching the line when reversing into the garage, maintain a distance of about 1.4 to 1.5 meters between the car body and the road line. 2. The wheels must not touch the adjacent garage control line: According to the new regulations for Subject 2, the front wheels must pass the control line, but the rear wheels must not exceed the control line, and the front wheels must not touch the control line of the adjacent garage. Otherwise, 100 points will be deducted. 3. Adjust the car body when exiting the garage: This applies to exiting to the left. To prepare for left reversing without touching the line, if the distance between the left side of the car body and the garage line is too small or the car body is not straight during right reversing, adjust the steering wheel appropriately when exiting to increase the left distance slightly.

Backing into a parking space and running over the right line essentially means that the car's right wheel crosses the right boundary line while reversing into a parking spot. This usually happens because the timing of steering wheel adjustments isn't quite right. For instance, if you turn the steering wheel too late or too sharply during the maneuver, the car will veer to the right. Additionally, poor speed control—especially reversing too quickly—can cause the car to slide due to inertia. New drivers often rely too much on rearview mirrors to judge distance, leading to misjudgment. Environmental factors like narrow parking spaces or uneven ground can also contribute to the car drifting off course. To avoid this, it's advisable to adjust the seat position before reversing to ensure a clear view, initiate steering movements earlier, and practice repeatedly to get a feel for it. If all else fails, installing a rearview camera or parking assist system can significantly reduce the risk of crossing the line. Remember, slow and steady is safer—going too fast only increases the chance of losing control.

I think reversing and pressing the right line is particularly easy to happen when you first start learning to drive. I also made this mistake frequently during my first few attempts at reverse parking, mainly due to nervousness and inaccurate judgment of position. The rearview mirror angle wasn't adjusted properly, making it hard to see the exact position of the right rear wheel. Additionally, the timing of steering wheel rotation wasn't mastered, often turning too quickly or too slowly, causing the car to drift onto the line. Excessive speed is also a key issue—reverse parking should be done slowly, but beginners often reverse too fast, and the wheels don't have enough time to respond to directional changes, making it easy to slide to the right. Another detail is the instability in clutch or throttle control when starting to reverse, causing the car to jerk to the right. The solution is to practice right-angle reversing more often in open spaces, setting fixed reference points, such as looking at reference objects in the rearview mirror, and making slight adjustments to the direction as soon as the wheels are about to touch the line. Don't forget to check if the rearview mirror is clean and free of dirt, as this helps with clearer visibility. Gradually, you'll get used to it, your movements will become more natural, and the problem of pressing the line will naturally decrease.

Running over the right line during reverse parking is mainly caused by improper reversing operations. Inaccurate steering may result in an incorrect vehicle path, where excessive or insufficient turning angles can easily lead to crossing the right line. Speed control is also a factor—if the speed is too high, the inertia after turning may exacerbate the rightward deviation. Misjudgment of rearview mirrors is another common reason, as unclear boundary visibility can delay timely steering adjustments. Environmental disturbances, such as uneven ground or narrow parking spaces, increase the difficulty. It is recommended to observe the surroundings thoroughly before reversing, adjust the seat for a better view, maintain a slower speed, and steer moderately in advance. Developing good habits can effectively reduce the frequency of crossing lines and enhance parking safety.
