Why does the car cross the right line when reversing into the parking space?
2 Answers
The reasons for crossing the right line when reversing into the parking space include: 1. The starting point of the right parking space is too far from the left edge line of the parking area. 2. Turning the steering wheel to the right too early at the starting point. 3. Failing to accurately determine the point to start turning the steering wheel. 4. Misjudging the 30 cm distance when reversing into the parking space. 5. Adjusting the direction too late or driving too fast. 6. The steering wheel adjustment is too slow to correct the direction in time. There are three common types of reversing: 1. "Non"-shaped: The first type is the "non"-shaped reversing into the parking space, commonly seen in various large shopping malls. 2. "One"-shaped: The second type is the roadside "one"-shaped reversing into the parking space, also known as parallel parking. 3. Diagonal-shaped: The third type is the less common diagonal-shaped reversing into the parking space.
When reversing into a parking space, I often encountered the issue of the right side crossing the line when I was first learning to drive. The root cause was improper timing in steering wheel operation. For example, if you don't adjust the car's position properly at the starting point of reversing or turn the steering wheel a bit late, the rear of the car tends to veer to the right. Incorrectly adjusted rearview mirrors also add to the trouble—if the mirror angles aren't set right, it's hard to see the right-side line and wheels clearly, leading to misjudgment. Speeding is another issue; moving too fast makes it hard to react in time, and before you know it, the wheels might graze the line. I recommend beginners practice slow reversing in an empty spot more often and have a friend help watch the position. After several repetitions, you'll find the key point for turning the steering wheel: when the angle between the car body and the line in the rearview mirror looks right, turn the wheel promptly. If you cross the line, don't panic—stop, adjust, and try again. With more practice, you'll develop good habits and avoid losing points during the test.
