What to Learn After Mastering Reverse Parking?
3 Answers
After mastering reverse parking, you should learn parallel parking and hill starts, etc. Below is a relevant introduction to Subject 2: 1. Subject 2: Also known as the small road test, it is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and refers to the field driving skill test. For small vehicles (C1/C2), the test items include six mandatory components: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, curve driving (commonly known as S-curves), and high-speed toll card collection (in some provinces). 2. Basic Operations: Subject 2 requires students to master fundamental driving skills and possess basic vehicle control abilities. They should be proficient in basic methods of field and road driving, capable of properly using vehicle controls, accurately controlling the vehicle's spatial position, and precisely managing the vehicle's position, speed, and route. 3. Failing Subject 2: If an applicant fails, they must first pay a retake fee at the vehicle management office. According to Article 37 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses,' each subject can be taken once, and if failed, a retake is allowed once.
Just mastered reverse parking? Next up is the challenge of parallel parking! Back when I was learning to drive, my instructor said this was the second hardest part of the driving test. Unlike reverse parking where you just focus on one direction, parallel parking requires constantly switching between the left and right rearview mirrors to check the markers, and you have to turn the steering wheel quickly. Remember two key techniques: keep the car body 30 centimeters away from the side line, and turn the wheel all the way once the rear wheel crosses the line. Practicing this really hones your sense of direction and distance judgment, which is super useful for real-life roadside parking. I recommend spending a few extra days at the driving school to find reference points for the tires and markers in the rearview mirrors.
After passing the reverse parking test, proceed directly to parallel parking. The key to this maneuver lies in identifying the right moment when the tires touch the line, requiring quicker steering wheel movements than reverse parking. I remember during my practice, I often oversteered, so my instructor taught me to adjust based on the positional relationship between the rear door handle and the corner of the parking space in the rearview mirror. Essentially, roadside parking follows the same principle – angle the car into the spot before straightening out. Mastering this will make tackling the curve driving much easier, as you'll have already developed a feel for steering. By the way, before the test, it's best to memorize the trick of aligning the raised point on the wiper with the one-third mark on the hood to line up with the edge.
