Which way to steer when exiting the garage?

Steer towards the wider side when exiting the garage. If the left side is narrow, steer right to correct; if the right side is narrow, steer left to correct. In short, always steer towards the wider side for adjustment. Below is an introduction to the content of the Subject 3 driving test: 1. The road driving skills test for Subject 3 generally includes: preparation before starting, simulated lighting test, starting, driving straight, gear shifting operations, changing lanes, pulling over, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving. 2. The safety and civilized driving knowledge test generally includes: requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and knowledge on handling traffic accidents.
When I first started learning to drive, I was also confused about exiting the parking space. My instructor taught me that when reversing out, if one side has more space, steer the wheel towards that side. For example, if you see more space on the right side in the rearview mirror and the left side is tight, then turn the steering wheel to the right—the rear of the car will naturally move left, correcting the position balance. The first time I tried it in a small parking lot, I almost hit the car next to me but quickly turned right to avoid it. Now, I always take a moment to check the rearview mirror a few more times to confirm the space before exiting. I recommend beginners use parking sensors more often to reduce the chance of mistakes. Don’t rush—it’s too dangerous if a pedestrian walks by unexpectedly. After practicing a few times, it becomes easier. Just remember: steer towards the side with more space, and you’ll be fine.
