What is the difference between forward parking and reverse parking?
1 Answers
Forward parking involves moving forward in first gear when exiting the parking space, judging the distance using ground markings or other markers, then turning the steering wheel fully to the right. When the car body is perpendicular to the parking space (i.e., the car is straight), the steering wheel should be straightened. Reverse parking involves moving forward in first gear when exiting, turning the steering wheel fully to the left at the same point where you would turn right in forward parking, then slightly adjusting the steering wheel back during the process. The degree of adjustment depends on the driver and vehicle conditions, typically around 90 degrees before turning fully again. Proceed to the designated position without straightening the steering wheel. When entering the parking space in forward parking, turn the steering wheel fully to the right when the intersection of the movable window and the fixed glass on the right rear seat aligns with the corner of the parking space, then stop at the designated point using the rearview mirror. For reverse parking, keep the steering wheel fully turned and judge the distance using the left rearview mirror, adjusting as necessary. Exiting and entering in forward parking: Exiting: During practice, the vehicle is usually parked in the parking space. When exiting, move forward in first gear, judge the distance using ground markings or other markers, then turn the steering wheel fully to the right. When the car body is perpendicular to the parking space (i.e., the car is straight), straighten the steering wheel. The distance between the right side of the car and the parking space should be about 1.5 meters when exiting. Entering: Different coaches may have different markers for turning the steering wheel. When the intersection of the movable window and the fixed glass on the right rear seat aligns with the corner of the parking space, turn the steering wheel fully to the right, then stop at the designated point using the rearview mirror. Since different vehicles and drivers may have varying reference points, learners need to continuously adjust based on what they observe. Exiting and entering in reverse parking: Exiting: Move forward in first gear, turn the steering wheel fully to the left at the same point where you would turn right in forward parking, then slightly adjust the steering wheel back during the process. The degree of adjustment depends on the driver and vehicle conditions, typically around 90 degrees before turning fully again. Proceed to the designated position without straightening the steering wheel. Entering: Keep the steering wheel fully turned and judge the distance using the left rearview mirror, adjusting as necessary. Once the rear of the vehicle enters the parking space and the car body is straight, straighten the steering wheel, then stop at the designated point.
