What to Do When Steering Late for Right Reverse Parking?
2 Answers
When steering late for right reverse parking, it's crucial to promptly adjust the parking trajectory, as the vehicle's path differs from normal parking maneuvers. If you steer late while reversing, the timing to straighten the wheels should also be delayed slightly, allowing the car to reverse "a bit further." Here are some tips for reverse parking: 1. Adjust the left and right rearview mirrors. The driver should adjust the mirrors to a suitable angle for better visibility of ground markings. 2. Use the rearview mirrors: Checking the rearview mirrors is essential for reverse parking, and one must learn how to use them correctly. 3. Gauge the distance between the car body and the sideline: The standard for reverse parking requires the vehicle to be about 1.5 meters away from the starting line and the roadside line.
When reversing into a right parking space, if I turn the steering wheel too late, I know it might cause the rear of the car to skew or hit the side. In such cases, I usually slow down immediately or gently press the brake to stop, then turn the steering wheel slightly to the left to adjust the position, and slowly continue reversing. I make full use of the rearview and side mirrors to observe the movement of the car's rear. If the space is too tight, I simply drive out and reposition before trying again. During practice, I prefer using fixed reference points, such as lines on the ground or the corners of the garage, to better anticipate the angle. The key is not to panic—adjusting slowly will eventually get it right. Regular practice in an open space can improve your feel for reversing into parking spaces.
