What to Do When Reversing Too Fast?
2 Answers
When reversing too fast, you can gradually slow down by controlling the clutch and throttle. Here are some reversing tips: 1. Steering wheel usage: Before entering the test area, align the 12 o'clock position of the steering wheel with the left or middle of the third dashed line at the starting point. 2. Use of the left rearview mirror: When the left rearview mirror aligns with the starting line, turn the steering wheel fully to the right. 3. Use of the right rearview mirror: Observe the distance between the car body and the corner of the parking space in the right rearview mirror, maintaining about 30 cm. If less than 30 cm, turn the steering wheel half a turn to the left; if more than 30 cm, keep it fully turned to the right. 4. Parking: After the car body and the parking space line are parallel in the right rearview mirror, straighten the steering wheel until the lower edge of the left rearview mirror aligns with the parking space line, then stop.
Reversing too fast can indeed lead to problems. I would immediately release the accelerator, gently press the brake to slow down, and check the rearview mirror to ensure there are no obstacles or pedestrians. Practicing reversing in an empty parking lot helps familiarize oneself with the vehicle's braking response and gradually develop a sense of speed. Rearview mirrors and reversing cameras are great aids—use them effectively to assist in judgment. Develop the habit of observing before reversing and starting slowly. Controlling speed well can prevent scratches or more serious accidents. Remember, safety comes first—don't take risks just because you're in a hurry.
