It depends on the situation. If reversing from the right towards the center, pressing the left line means the steering wheel was turned too late. If reversing from the left towards the center, pressing the left line means the steering wheel was turned too early. Here is some related information about reverse parking: 1. Techniques: Align the mirror and turn right fully. When starting the first reverse parking maneuver, observe the position relationship between the left rearview mirror and the parking line. First, turn the steering wheel half a turn to the right and start moving. When the left rearview mirror covers the parking line, turn the steering wheel fully to the right. While reversing with the steering wheel turned fully to the right, watch the right rearview mirror. Observe the distance between the car body and the right front corner of the parking space, keeping it at about 30 cm. If it's too narrow, adjust the steering. The standard width of a parking line is 15 cm, so in the rearview mirror, it should appear roughly as two parking line widths. 2. Precautions: Generally, start in 1st gear and make sure not to shift incorrectly. While controlling the speed, turning the steering wheel as quickly as possible is always better. If there's a conflict between the two, prioritize controlling the speed.

When I first started driving, I often hit the left corner while backing into a left parking space, which felt really embarrassing. The main issue was not getting the timing right for turning the wheel—I'd get nervous and steer too early, causing the front of the car to scrape against the corner of the parking spot. After practicing reverse parking more, I realized it's better to let the car move backward slowly, first using the rearview mirror to align with the parking lines, and then making small adjustments to the steering wheel once I had a clear view. Another time, during heavy rain, I forgot to check the blind spot and almost scraped a nearby pillar. Practice is key—repeating the scenario a few times in an empty space made it much easier.

Foreign objects under the accelerator pedal: The presence of foreign objects under the accelerator pedal can prevent it from being pressed down.
