What to Do When the Parking Space Angle Exceeds 30 Degrees During Reverse Parking?
2 Answers
During the reverse parking process, observe the distance between the car body and the parking space corner through the rearview mirror. When the distance between the car body and the parking space corner is about two fingers wide, quickly straighten the steering wheel. At this point, the rear wheels and the parking space boundary line are aligned.
I used to encounter this problem frequently when backing into the garage—the angle of the car's rear relative to the garage exceeded 30 degrees, making it impossible to enter. First, you need to stop and stay calm, then gently adjust the steering wheel to correct the direction. It's best to move forward slightly to align the front of the car with the garage entrance before reversing. Use the side mirrors to check both sides, ensuring the car remains parallel to the walls. During practice, find an open space to simulate parking and repeat the process until you get the hang of it. Also, check the tire pressure and wheel alignment, as these details affect positioning. Safety comes first—don’t rush. If it doesn’t work the first time, try a few more times. With practice, controlling the angle will become natural.
