Why Can't I See the Corner of the Garage When Reversing to the Right?
2 Answers
If the rearview mirror is positioned too high, it may prevent you from seeing the corner of the garage. This could also be due to a habit of reversing too far to the right, making it impossible to see the entire garage edge. If the angle of reversing into the garage is correct, then the issue might be with the adjustment of the right rearview mirror. Before reversing into the garage, adjust both rearview mirrors to ensure they are properly set for your needs. Not seeing the garage corner could also result from turning the steering wheel too early, causing incorrect entry into the garage. Here are detailed explanations: 1. Explanation One: Left-side reversing refers to reversing into the garage from the left side. 2. Explanation Two: Right-side reversing refers to reversing into the garage from the right side.
After years of driving, not seeing the corner of the parking space while reversing is quite common. It's mainly about the vehicle's position and angle. If the car isn't aligned properly or the reversing angle is too large, the corner hides in the blind spot. First, check if the rearview mirrors are set correctly—adjust them downward to cover the ground edges. Also, consider the seat height; sitting too low can block your view. A useful trick is to avoid reversing straight in—try approaching the parking spot at a 45-degree angle, which makes the corner more visible. Practice is key. Find an empty parking lot and use cones to simulate the scenario, gradually getting familiar with your car's dimensions and blind spots. Safety comes first—if you really can't see, don't force it. Get out and check or ask someone to guide you. Beginners often rush—slowing down and moving bit by bit yields better results.
