Which way to steer when reversing into a narrow parking space?
1 Answers
When reversing into a narrow parking space, you can steer towards the wider side to make that side narrower and prevent the other side from crossing the line. If the left side is wider, steer left to move the car to the left. The key is to observe the left rearview mirror. If it shows a 'V' shape (wider at the front and narrower at the back), the left side is narrow, and you should steer right. If it shows a '^' shape (narrower at the front and wider at the back), the right side is narrow, and you should steer left. Steering tips: Before reversing, check the rear situation, plan the reversing path, and ensure the front won't hit obstacles. When making large steering adjustments, the front wheels have a larger turning radius than the rear wheels, causing the front to swing outward more. Be careful to avoid hitting obstacles with the front. This method is more suitable for parking on the right side or when longer reversing distances are needed. If the rear needs to move right, steer right; if left, steer left. This is the same as steering when driving forward. Don't focus only on the rear while reversing. After ensuring rear safety, frequently check the side mirrors for obstacles and adjust the steering to correct the car's position.
