What is the principle of reverse parking?
1 Answers
Reverse parking is one of the test items in Subject 2 of the driver's license examination. The following principles apply to reverse parking: 1. Three-point alignment principle: The three points refer to the driver's eyes, a specific point on the vehicle body, and a marker on the ground. The alignment refers to the straight line formed by these three points. By aligning these three points, the vehicle's position can be easily determined. When reversing into the parking space, the driver should stop when the lower edge of the left rearview mirror aligns with the parking line on the ground. Here, the eyes, the left rearview mirror, and the parking line serve as the three key reference points for alignment. 2. Parallel principle: The parallel principle involves the application of two straight lines on the same plane. When the vehicle is in the parking space, observing through the rearview mirror that the vehicle body is parallel to the parking line indicates that the vehicle is properly aligned. 3. Clutch control principle: The clutch should be pressed steadily and released slowly. The heel should remain on the ground, and the ball of the foot should be used to control the vehicle speed by moving up and down. When releasing the clutch, it should be done slowly and at a constant speed.
