What is the method for right-side reverse parking?
3 Answers
When spotting a parking space, try to keep your car body as close as possible to the adjacent red car. When your car's right-side rearview mirror aligns with the side of the red car, turn the steering wheel all the way to the left. Focus your attention on the right rearview mirror. As soon as the body of the red car appears in the right rearview mirror, stop immediately and turn the steering wheel all the way in the opposite direction. Observe through the right rearview mirror. When the car body is too close to the red car, straighten the steering wheel and adjust the distance by controlling the steering wheel.
I've just taught many students, and right-side reverse parking needs to be done step by step. First, drive the car parallel to the parking space, ideally about an arm's length away from the obstacle on the right, with the front of the car aligned with the midpoint of the car in front. Then, turn the steering wheel fully to the right and slowly reverse, while closely watching the right rearview mirror to observe the distance between the rear of the car and the line or car on the right. If it gets too close, adjust by turning the steering wheel slightly back. When the car body is almost parallel to the parking space, straighten the steering wheel and continue reversing in, finally coming to a stop. Throughout the process, control the speed to be slow, don't rush, and make good use of the rearview mirrors and checking blind spots by turning your head to ensure there are no people or objects nearby. I recommend practicing in an empty parking lot first, using cones or toys as markers—once you're familiar with it, it becomes much easier. Don't be afraid to make a few mistakes; after practicing, you'll drive more confidently and safely.
When I was learning to drive, the right reverse parking was quite challenging. Once, I was too reckless and hit the curb. Now it's better, so I'll share my experience: first, park parallel beside the parking spot, aligning the front of your car with the front of the next car or the center line of the parking space. Then, turn the steering wheel all the way to the right and slowly reverse, using the right rearview mirror to monitor the position of the car's rear. If it's too far to the right, slightly adjust the steering to correct it. Once the car body is parallel, immediately straighten the wheels and continue reversing. Practice is crucial—I recommend having a friend stand by to help guide you, reducing nervousness. Also, pay attention to your reversing speed; don't go too fast, and ensure your front and rear visibility is clear to avoid scratches or accidents. After practicing ten times, it will become natural. Remember, safety first—this skill is super practical for daily parking.
