What is the reason for the right side being too narrow during parallel parking?
2 Answers
This is because the second left turn of the steering wheel was slightly delayed. From the position of the car in the garage, being particularly close to the right side means that the rear of the car will hit the boundary line of the garage during the parking process. If the operation was completely in accordance with the coach's instructions, then the seat and rearview mirrors were not adjusted when getting into the car. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Parallel parking is part of the second subject of the driving test: Parallel parking is becoming increasingly common in cities, especially when parking spaces in formal parking lots are becoming more scarce. Many places have turned the original streets into parking spaces, becoming parallel parking spots. 2. Use the rearview mirrors to identify the markings: During parallel parking, without poles as reference points, it is necessary to learn to use the rearview mirrors to identify the markings.
When I first started driving, I often had trouble with parallel parking, especially on the right side where it was particularly tight, mainly because I was too nervous and misjudged the distance. For example, when I was too close to the car behind me while parallel parking, I would turn the steering wheel sharply, causing the rear of the car to swing out and leaving no space on the right side, which also made it easy to scrape the neighbor's car. Later, my instructor told me to take it slow—first align with the car in front, leave a one-meter gap, turn the steering wheel fully when reversing, and then straighten it quickly at a 45-degree angle before making minor adjustments. After practicing a few times, it felt much better. The key is to relax and use the rearview mirror to confirm the left and right spacing. All beginners make this mistake, so don’t worry.
