What to Learn After Mastering Reverse Parking?
2 Answers
After learning reverse parking, proceed to learn parallel parking. Parallel parking techniques: Maintain a 30 cm distance: Approach the front vehicle while keeping a distance of approximately 30 cm. Too far makes parking difficult, while too close risks scratching other vehicles. Stop when your vehicle's side mirrors align with the adjacent car's. If parking next to a large SUV, you may adjust the position slightly backward. Monitor the left rearview mirror: When your vehicle's edge aligns with the right edge of the rear vehicle, straighten the steering wheel. Then continue reversing straight back, making minor adjustments to the vehicle's position as needed during this process.
After mastering reverse parking, I think practicing parallel parking next is most appropriate. That thing is even harder than reverse parking because you have to deal with parking on narrow roadsides. Once you master it, daily city driving becomes much more convenient. I often advise beginners to start with small steps and gradually move to real road scenarios, such as learning lane merging and turning at traffic lights, which can reduce the risk of accidents. Also, hill parking should be included, especially in areas with many slopes or mountainous roads, otherwise, the car might roll away, causing big trouble. Overall, take it step by step, don’t rush onto the highway—safety first. Don’t forget to simulate real situations more, using mobile apps or finding a coach to practice and reinforce your skills.
