Why Can't I See the Corner of the Garage When Reversing to the Right?
2 Answers
Not being able to see the corner of the garage when reversing to the right is because the steering wheel is not turned correctly. Find the right reversing angle: This mainly refers to the distance between the right wheel and the garage corner after turning the steering wheel fully. If this distance is around 30cm, you can usually reverse into the garage smoothly. Judge the distance: Before getting into the car, you should estimate the distance between the left side of the car and the left line. When reversing to the right, if the car is too close to the left side, you should turn the steering wheel to the right a bit earlier. If the distance is farther than usual, you should turn the steering wheel a bit later. Learn to use the rearview mirrors: When you first start driving, you might not have a good sense of how to use the rearview mirrors in the car. This can only be improved through regular practice; learn to observe the rearview mirrors.
When I can't see the right corner of the garage during reverse parking, my first thought is always that the mirrors aren't adjusted properly. That's exactly what happened last time I practiced at driving school - the instructor told me to lower the mirrors to see the rear wheels and ground markings, and now I'm teaching my son the same way. Seat height is also crucial; don't recline the backrest too much or your shoulders will block the view. Another situation is when the reversing path is too far right, causing the car body to block the garage corner - in this case, you need to steer earlier. The worst is encountering crooked parking space markings that make position judgment impossible, forcing you to get out and check before trying again.
