What is the left and right distance for ramp parking?
3 Answers
Ramp parking requires maintaining a distance of within 30 centimeters on both the left and right sides. Upon hearing the instruction: Turn on the right turn signal, steer the wheel appropriately to the right, and drive the vehicle straight along the right side of the road slowly, paying attention to the distance between the body and the right sideline. Approaching the target: When the vehicle is about 10 meters away from the parking pole, slowly, accurately, and steadily approach the positioning target. Determining the target: Use a point on the parking pole and the windshield (or hood) as a reference. When a point on the windshield aligns with the parking pole in a straight line, meaning the vehicle's bumper aligns with the parking pole line, stop immediately.
When I was learning to drive, the left and right distance for stopping on a slope mainly refers to the gap between the right wheel and the side line, generally required to be kept within 30 cm. During my driving test, the instructor always emphasized this standard, and it took me several practice sessions to master it. Just align the front of the car with the marker using the rearview mirror. If it's too far, exceeding 35 cm, it can easily cause stalling or skidding; if it's too close, less than 20 cm, it can wear the tires and damage the rims, increasing safety risks. Parking on steep slopes requires extra attention to clutch coordination and handbrake fixation to avoid rolling back. Beginners can rely on auxiliary lines or apps to practice gradually, as developing good habits can reduce daily accidents.
After years of driving, I've developed a habit of stopping at a fixed point on slopes, preferably within a range of 25 to 30 centimeters. With experience, a quick glance at the mirror to check the wheel position ensures precise control. Stopping too far beyond 35 centimeters can make the vehicle's center of gravity unstable and prone to sliding; stopping too close, within 15 centimeters, though rare, carries significant risks. During driving tests, this directly affects the pass rate. I recommend that beginners practice more on gentle slopes to get a feel for it, combined with proper brake pedal operation. In daily life, similar rules apply when parking on slopes to ensure a safe distance and prevent accidental collisions.
