What is the distance on both sides when reversing into a parking space?

[VanElliana]

For the Subject 2 parking test, a distance of 30cm on both sides is ideal. The distance requirement refers to the space between the parking spot corners and the left and right sides of the vehicle. As long as the solid lines are not touched during the entire reversing process, and after parking, one side being wider and the other narrower is acceptable. A distance between 25cm and 40cm is permissible. When reversing into a parking space, observing the distance between the vehicle body and the parking spot corner through the rearview mirror can be inaccurate. Estimating the distance between the rear wheel's contact point and the parking spot corner via the rearview mirror may differ from the actual distance, so regular practice is needed to account for this discrepancy. Here are the methods for controlling the distance from the edge line when reversing into a parking space: When you see the right parking spot corner in the rearview mirror while reversing, as the vehicle moves backward, before the right rear wheel reaches the parking spot entrance, accurately judge the distance between the vehicle body and the corner, ideally maintaining a 20cm distance. If a 20cm distance cannot be maintained and the wheel is at risk of touching the right parking spot corner, immediately turn the steering wheel to the left. The amount to turn depends on the distance between the vehicle body and the right edge line, as well as the speed of the vehicle. Ensure the vehicle body is parallel to the parking space edge line with roughly equal distances on both sides. Simultaneously, keep an eye on the lower edge of the left rearview mirror and the parking space edge line. When the edge line aligns with the left rearview mirror, press the clutch and brake to stop, completing the right-side parking maneuver.
