When reversing into the parking space, should you turn the steering wheel towards the wider side?

Taking left-side reversing as an example, if you notice that the distance to the left edge of the parking space is too large, turn the steering wheel to the left. Below are some related tips for reversing into the parking space: 1. Technique: Align the mirror and turn fully right. When starting the first reversing maneuver, observe the position relationship between the left rearview mirror and the parking line. First, turn the steering wheel half a turn to the right and then start moving. When the left rearview mirror covers the parking line, turn the steering wheel fully to the right. While reversing with the wheel turned fully right, watch the right rearview mirror. Maintain a distance of about 30 cm between the car body and the right front corner of the parking space. If the distance is too narrow, adjust the steering wheel. The standard width of the parking line is 15 cm, so in the rearview mirror, it should appear roughly as two parking line widths. 2. Precautions: Generally, start in first gear and avoid shifting incorrectly. When controlling the speed, turning the steering wheel as quickly as possible is always better. If there is a conflict between the two, prioritize controlling the speed.
