What to Do If the Car Is Too Far to the Left When Reversing into a Parking Space?

When the rearview mirror shows a "right wide, left narrow" position relationship, turn the steering wheel 1/4 turn to the right. Straighten the steering wheel when the car body is aligned.
When I first started driving, I also often parked too far to the left when reversing into a space. The main reasons are either your starting position wasn't aligned properly or you turned the steering wheel too early. The specific solution is to first drive the car forward a bit, straighten the front of the car, and then reverse again. When reversing, pay attention to the right rearview mirror to ensure the distance between the car body and the right line is appropriate, keeping it about 30 centimeters to avoid getting too close and scraping. If you're too far to the left, gently adjust the steering wheel to the right and slowly straighten it out. Practice is key—find an empty space to simulate a parking spot and practice a few times to get the hang of it. Don't worry about taking a bit longer; safety comes first. By the way, driving slowly and using the rearview mirror more is more reliable than relying solely on the reversing camera because the camera has blind spots that can be misleading. Stick with it a few times, and you'll develop good parking habits.
