When reversing, if you turn the steering wheel to the right, does the rear of the car also move to the right?

When reversing, turning the steering wheel to the right will cause the rear of the car to move to the right, and turning it to the left will cause the rear to move to the left. If moving forward, the opposite is true: turning the steering wheel to the left while moving forward will cause the rear to move to the right, and turning it to the right will cause the rear to move to the left. When parking in a parking lot, first estimate the width of the space, check for obstacles behind, whether there are cars parked on either side, and whether the length is suitable for your vehicle. If visibility is poor at night, step out to observe the exact position before reversing. Whenever possible, choose to reverse from the left side (if conditions permit). The left side makes it easier for the driver to observe. During the reversing process, first look behind, then pay attention to the side mirrors. The horizontal distance on the right side should be slightly larger than on the left. Pay attention to both the front and rear when reversing. When reversing into a parking space, this might happen: due to limited surrounding space, reversing while turning may lead to focusing only on the rear of the car and neglecting the front, causing the front side to scrape. This occurs because, during the turning process, the turning radius of the front wheels is larger than that of the rear wheels. As a result, the front of the car swings outward while reversing, leading to a scrape on the front side. Therefore, when reversing, always be mindful of both the front and rear.
