Which way to turn the steering wheel when the left side is wide in Subject 2 reverse parking?
2 Answers
Turn the steering wheel to the left when the left side is wide. Here is the information introduction: 1. Reverse parking skills: If the speed is not well controlled during reverse parking, it is basically half a failure. Students must learn the correct posture for pressing the clutch during practice. The ball of the foot should press on the clutch pedal, with the heel touching the ground as a support point. When the clutch is pressed to the lowest point, the knee should remain slightly bent to maintain an appropriate speed. 2. Reverse parking: Reverse parking is a mandatory item for obtaining a small car driving license after 2013. It tests the driver's ability to operate the car in a confined space. Reverse parking is an assessment point in the driver's test, which involves correctly maneuvering the vehicle into the garage from both sides while in motion.
When I was learning to drive and taking the second subject test, I always had trouble with the left side being too wide when reversing into the parking space, which made me sweat with anxiety. The trick my instructor taught me was: if the left side is too wide, it means the car is too close to the right line, so you should turn the steering wheel slightly to the left—just half a turn is enough. Remember to make small adjustments; don’t turn too much in a panic, or the front of the car will veer too far to the right, making it easier to hit the line. Reverse slowly, keep your eyes on the left rearview mirror, and adjust while watching the left space shrink. During practice, I repeatedly tried this move and found that the feel is crucial: after slightly turning left, the car will lean a bit to the left as it moves backward, naturally correcting its position. After practicing a few times, I got the hang of it and wasn’t nervous during the test. Safety first—don’t go too fast, keep your breathing steady, and you’ll always succeed in reversing in, especially as a beginner—never rush.
