What is the width for reverse parking?
1 Answers
The width of a reverse parking space should be the vehicle width (excluding side mirrors) plus 600mm. Key distance to note: There is a crucial point in reverse parking - maintaining a 30cm distance between the vehicle body and the parking space corner. Mastering this distance makes reverse parking relatively easy. If the distance exceeds 300mm, turn the steering wheel fully; if less, adjust accordingly. If the space is too narrow, straighten the wheels first before making corrections. Maintain steady control during the entire reversing process, keeping the speed slow to allow sufficient time for adjustments. Clutch control: Proper clutch control is essential during reversing to maintain stable speed. A slower speed provides more reaction time to correct any misalignment even if you momentarily lose reference points. It's recommended to wear thick-soled shoes while driving, preferably sports shoes with thin front and thick rear sections featuring a slight slope. Thick soles make clutch operation easier and more stable, which is particularly beneficial for beginners.
