Which way to turn the steering wheel for right reverse parking?
2 Answers
When performing right reverse parking, the steering wheel should be turned based on the movement of the rear of the car. If you want the rear to move right, turn the steering wheel to the right; if you want it to move left, turn to the left, then straighten in the opposite direction. Introduction to reverse parking: Reverse parking has been a mandatory test item for obtaining a small car driver's license since 2013. Content of reverse parking: It assesses the driver's ability to maneuver the vehicle in a confined space. Reverse parking is an assessment point in the driver's test, requiring the driver to correctly reverse the vehicle into a garage from both sides while in motion. Standards for reverse parking methods: There are three most common types of reverse parking. The first is the "non"-shaped reverse parking, commonly seen in large shopping malls. The second is the roadside "one"-shaped reverse parking, also known as parallel parking. The third is the less common diagonal reverse parking. 70% of driving school students find parallel parking more challenging.
When I first started learning to drive, I also found parallel parking quite a headache, especially when it came to the right-side parking. After repeated practice, I realized that the steering wheel must be turned to the right because when the wheels turn right, the rear of the car moves to the right, perfectly aligning with the parking space. I remember one time when I mistakenly turned left and almost hit a pillar nearby. Since then, I've been extra careful about coordinating the front of the car with the rearview mirrors. The key is to keep the speed slow, and after turning the steering wheel to the right position, make one or two minor adjustments based on the parking space lines. Beginners should never panic; recording a video with a phone to review the details of their movements can be a big help. After practicing a few more times, it becomes natural, and parallel parking feels like solving a puzzle—finding the right angle for a successful maneuver on the first try.
