What is the reason for not seeing the corner of the parking space during parallel parking?
2 Answers
It may be due to improper seat adjustment. Below is an introduction to parallel parking: 1. Introduction one: The most critical aspect of parallel parking is the distance between the vehicle body and the edge of the parking space. This distance can be observed through the right rearview mirror to determine the parking position and the timing for reversing. If the distance is too wide, it will cause the vehicle to swing too much during reversing. Even if the rear wheels can enter the space, the remaining distance may not be sufficient to straighten the vehicle. 2. Introduction two: If the distance is too close, when reversing into the space, the right front corner of the vehicle will be very close to the car in front, making it easy to scrape when straightening the steering wheel. Avoiding the right front corner may then make the rear of the vehicle a potential hazard. Therefore, this distance should not be too wide or too narrow; 30cm is the most suitable distance.
As a driver with relatively little experience, I've encountered the problem of not being able to see the corner of the parking space during parallel parking several times, which is quite frustrating. There are two main reasons for this: one is the car itself - if the vehicle is large or has a high ground clearance, the view from the rearview mirror can easily be blocked by the car body, making the parking space corner disappear during reversing; the other is my own technical issue, such as improperly adjusted seats that are too high or too far back, obstructing the view. When I first started learning to drive, I was always in a hurry to turn the steering wheel, resulting in incorrect positioning where the corner of the space wasn't visible at all. Later, I tried adjusting the rearview mirror angle and seat position before parking to ensure a clear view; I also installed a reversing camera system I found online, which made things much easier. Practicing in open areas more often and using markers to indicate the position of the parking space corner gradually improved my skills. Remember not to rush - safety comes first to avoid scraping accidents.
