Which Gear Should Be Used for Reverse Parking?
1 Answers
Reverse parking is generally done in first gear. Press the clutch pedal all the way down with your left foot, and use your right foot to press the brake to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. Shift the gear lever from first gear to neutral, release the clutch, then press the clutch pedal all the way down again. Move the gear lever from neutral to reverse gear, release the brake with your right foot, and slowly lift the clutch to start reversing. Tips for the reverse parking test in Driving Test Subject 2: Learn to use the rearview mirrors: Beginners often struggle with judging distances through the rearview mirrors when they first start driving. This skill improves with practice. It's best to practice observing the mirrors while the car is stationary, checking the distance and alignment between the car body and the reference lines. With repeated practice, you'll develop a better sense of it. Learn to adjust the seat: After getting into the car, hold the steering wheel lightly with both hands. Your left foot should be able to press the clutch pedal all the way down comfortably without strain, and your hands should be able to turn the steering wheel easily. After adjusting, use your fist to measure the distance between your abdomen and the steering wheel—generally two fists for thinner people and one fist for heavier individuals. Remember this distance to ensure consistent seat adjustment every time you drive. Adjust the distance between the car body and the side line: Before entering the parking space, maintain a distance of 1.5 to 2 meters between the car body and the roadside line. If the distance is too small, turning the steering wheel fully when entering may cause the front of the car to cross the line. If the distance is too large, it may become difficult or even impossible to park properly.
