What to Do When Unable to Determine the Direction While Reversing?

[SilasRose]

Solutions for being unable to determine the direction while reversing: If the rear of the car has just entered the parking space but is leaning to the left, first turn the steering wheel to the right (the rear will move right while the front moves left), adjusting the rear to be slightly right of center. At this point, the front of the car will lean left, and the side mirror might be about to hit a pole. Then, turn the steering wheel all the way to the left (the front will move right while the rear moves left). Once the mirror clears the pole and the car just enters the space, immediately straighten the wheels (turn right), and make minor adjustments as needed. If the rear is already inside the space but leaning left, it is easy to cross the line. First, turn the steering wheel to the right, but not all the way—doing so may cause the front to cross the line. Adjust the car to reverse straight, possibly staying very close to the left line, but as long as it's properly adjusted, it won't cross the line.
