Why Should the Left Reverse Parking Start Earlier Than the Right?
1 Answers
Why should the left reverse parking start earlier than the right? The explanation is as follows: The principles of left and right reverse parking are the same, but the distance and angle of the left and right rearview mirrors from the driver make the reference points different. The key point in reverse parking is when the distance between the car body and the parking spot corner is 30cm. For right reverse parking, this distance is about two fingers' width in the mirror, while for left reverse parking, this distance is slightly more than two fingers' width. Additional information: 1. Left reverse parking technique: Generally, you can start turning the steering wheel 10cm earlier than in right reverse parking, but this can be hard for beginners to master. Alternatively, you can start turning when the lower edge of the left rearview mirror aligns with the stop line, then observe the distance between the rear wheel and the parking spot corner in the mirror as it narrows. Once it reaches 30cm, turn the steering wheel back one full turn. If the distance is too narrow, you can adjust the steering wheel earlier to widen the distance and then fully turn the wheel once the desired width is achieved. 2. Other techniques: The principles of observing the parallelism between the car body and the parking lines and the timing to stop are the same. The only slight difference between left and right reverse parking is the initial turning of the steering wheel. Even if you don't start turning earlier in left reverse parking, you can still adjust the distance by fine-tuning the steering wheel. As long as the car body doesn't cross the lines, even if the car is parked slightly crooked, you won't lose points.
