What is the issue with crossing the line when exiting the garage?

[DeclanFitz]

The main reason for crossing the line when exiting the garage is turning the steering wheel too early during the exit. Key points for reversing into the garage: When reversing into the right garage, observe the left rearview mirror before turning the steering wheel. After turning the steering wheel fully to the right, observe the right rearview mirror. When straightening the wheels, observe the left rearview mirror again. Ensure both front and rear wheels can enter the garage, then observe both sides to make minor adjustments to the vehicle's position. Methods for adjusting the vehicle's position: Use the distance between the vehicle body and the boundary line as the adjustment standard. If the rear of the vehicle is too close to the right boundary line of the garage, turn the steering wheel to the left to adjust. Conversely, if it is too close to the left boundary line, turn the steering wheel to the right to adjust.

When I first got my driver's license, I was backing out of a supermarket parking space and wanted to make a right turn. I turned the steering wheel a bit too late, causing the front wheels to roll straight over the parking line. I could feel the car scraping against the yellow markings on the ground with a screeching sound, and I immediately worried if the tires were damaged, so I stopped to check. That experience taught me that scraping lines while exiting is usually caused by untimely or incorrect steering during turns, where the wheels haven't turned enough and go straight over the line—especially common for beginners who are still unfamiliar with the controls. Since then, I always observe the parking space and exit path in advance, reversing to a certain position before slowly turning the wheel, ensuring enough turning radius to avoid scraping. Practicing right-angle turns in open areas while adjusting with side mirrors helped me improve quickly. Backup cameras or parking sensors can make it easier, but skill still comes down to practice. Although scraping lines seems minor, repeated incidents may wear down tire sidewalls or the undercarriage, so I recommend drivers focus on mastering basic maneuvers.

As a driver with 20 years of experience, I've often seen 'scraping the line' in parking lots—this happens when reversing out of a space with improper steering, causing the wheels to scrape over the ground markings before turning in time. Many beginners make this mistake, usually due to impatience or poor visibility, such as turning the wheel too sharply or too late when in a hurry, leading the front wheels to directly run over the line. To avoid this, the key is to plan your path before exiting: first, check the parking space and turning point through the rearview mirror to ensure enough safe distance, then reverse slowly while steering early. If the space is tight, make small adjustments in multiple steps instead of trying to turn out in one go. Using vehicle aids like rearview cameras can help, but the most reliable method is to develop a good feel through practice. While scraping the line rarely causes serious damage, it can wear down parking line materials or lead to disputes. I recommend emphasizing this detail during driving training to ensure smooth operations.

Sweeping the line during exit refers to the phenomenon where a vehicle's wheels cross over ground markings while reversing out of a parking space. This primarily occurs due to delayed or insufficient steering wheel input, causing the wheels to move straight and press against the lines. Common causes include driver inexperience, obstructed visibility, or large vehicle dimensions. For instance, front-wheel-drive vehicles with smaller turning radii may lead novice drivers to steer too late. Prevention methods include practicing right-angle turns in advance, moving slowly during exit while observing the turning path, and using rearview mirrors to avoid abrupt turns. Line sweeping may cause minor wear to tire sidewalls but rarely poses safety risks; however, risks increase on slopes or near obstacles. Regular maintenance of the steering system, such as checking the flexibility of the steering shaft, can help mitigate this issue.
