What is the reason for always reversing crookedly when backing up?

The fuel tank capacity of the Zotye T600 is 60 liters, which is the officially announced data. The fuel grade of the Zotye T600 is 92, with a fuel consumption of 7.9-8.6L per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel can cover a distance of 697-759km. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel in the tank at all times. Generally, the fuel level is observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge on the dashboard usually has 5 to 6 segments. When there are only 2 segments left on the fuel gauge, it is time to refuel to avoid running out of fuel halfway. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is the volume from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit. There is still some space from the safe limit to the tank opening, which is reserved to ensure that the fuel in the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the tank's safety space. If the fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added will be greater than the calibrated fuel tank capacity.
When reversing, the car often goes crooked, which I think is mainly due to lack of experience and inaccurate perception of the vehicle's dimensions. When I first started driving, I was the same, especially when reversing into a parking space, the car would always lean to one side. You need to practice slowly to get familiar with the size of the car. Find an open space, like a parking lot, to practice reversing straight into a parking spot. Don't rush; first, gently turn the steering wheel to adjust the angle, and observe the rearview mirror to see if the wheel positions align with the lines. Misjudging visually is quite common, especially when the rearview mirror isn't adjusted properly. It's even harder to estimate distances accurately in low light, so I recommend practicing more during the day to find the balance point between the front of the car and the rear wheels. Once you develop the habit, it won't be as difficult. The key is to try more and not be afraid of making mistakes, gradually accumulating experience.
I've encountered the issue of the car always being crooked when reversing, with the root cause being environmental factors such as uneven ground or slight slopes. When driving in parking lots with inclines or gravel roads, the wheels are prone to slipping and shifting, leading to unstable directional control. Check if the tire pressure is normal, as insufficient pressure can exacerbate this problem. Additionally, if parking space lines are blurry or lighting is dim, it's easy to misjudge boundaries and end up crooked. Practice reversing in a flat and open area, such as an underground parking garage in a shopping mall, where the lighting is good and the ground is smooth. Adjust the rearview mirror to a suitable angle to clearly see the wheel outlines, which helps with alignment. Another tip is to pay attention to the car's tilt angle and use reference points for correction rather than relying solely on feel. These small adjustments can effectively reduce the occurrence of crooked parking.
