Why is it inaccurate to judge right-angle turns by looking at the front hood of the car?

Inaccuracy in judging right-angle turns by looking at the front hood of the car is mainly due to not having found the correct reference point. Once the correct reference point is identified, the car can be parked accurately. Finding the reference point: Before making a right-angle turn, roughly assess the current position of the vehicle. When aligning the car body to the right, ensure that the position of the left wiper's rivet coincides with the right edge of the road. Maintain this alignment while driving, keeping the car body approximately 30 centimeters away from the road edge. If this condition is not met, check whether your seating posture and rearview mirror adjustments meet the requirements. Timing of the turn: Whether it's a right-angle left turn or a right-angle right turn, when you feel that the rearview mirror is parallel to the inner turning corner, you can fully turn the steering wheel in the corresponding direction. Then, observe the road ahead and the rearview mirror. If you sense that the rear wheel might hit the corner, slightly adjust the steering direction. Once you confirm that the car can pass the corner, continue turning the steering wheel fully. When the car's front is about to align with the lane, quickly straighten the steering wheel and drive out of the test area.
