Why is the left side always wider than the right when reversing into the left parking space?

[NevaehRose]

The reason for the left side being wider than the right when reversing into the left parking space is that the steering wheel is turned too late when the vehicle is backing in. If you notice that the left side is wider than the right while parking, simply turn the steering wheel slightly to the left and then straighten it. Additionally, inconsistency between the timing of turning the steering wheel and the speed of the vehicle can also cause the left side to be wider than the right. There are three common types of reverse parking: The first is the "non"-shaped reverse parking, commonly seen in large shopping malls. The second is the "one"-shaped reverse parking by the roadside, also known as parallel parking. The third is the less common diagonal reverse parking.
