Parking in reverse - theory and practice

Parking the reverse for the novice motorists and avtoledi - a real stumbling block. Beginners usually do not feel the dimensions of the car very well, and in conditions of dense surrounding by other machines, carelessness can result in scratches on the bumper, communication with traffic police and spoiled mood.

That's why parking in reverse is an element that is very important to master in perfection, so as not to get into unpleasant and stupid situations. This technique is rather complicated, since it is necessary to control the space from three sides: behind and at the sides.

Parking with the use of the rear gear can be divided into 2 types: the element "check in the box" and parallel parking.

Perpendicular parking in reverse, which on the site is often called "race in the box," is not too difficult to perform, but requires some skill. To do this, you first need to completely untwist the steering wheel to the side where the parking will be done, and then, orienting yourself in the mirrors, align the course so as to step smoothly between the two cars.

It should be borne in mind that in order to leave the car, you need to open the doors, so the distance to neighboring cars should be sufficient for such an action. Border or obstacle, limiting the parking space from the rear, also need to be taken into account so as not to damage the car. In case you are not sure that you feel the dimensions of the car, it is better to install a parking sensor that will help you not crash anywhere and, in general, will facilitate the parking process, as it will even see the curb. When parking in a place tightly staffed with machines, it is also important to control the space in front, since with a poorly calculated trajectory, you can easily catch the bumper angle of a nearby neighbor.

Reverse parking between cars or parallel parking - A maneuver, which, as is commonly believed, does not succeed in the beautiful sex. But this is just a myth. It can be mastered by any avtoledi, although the element is really quite complicated. It is important to understand the trajectory of the front and rear of the car. Before the start of the parking process, the steering wheel until the end is twisted in the direction of the parking space. After the bumper of the parked car will be located to the curb at about an angle of 45 degrees, you should start to twist the steering wheel in the opposite direction, bringing the front part of the body to the parking space. After that, you can adjust the position of the car, passing a little forward and leveling the body. We need to closely monitor the position of the machine, guided by mirrors.

Parking in reverse is difficult because the attention of the driver must constantly switch from one object to another, at the same time it should be focused on the trajectory of movement and tracking the overall situation (the presence of pedestrians in the zone of visibility, for example).

Only experience and practice can help to master each of these elements so that they can be performed even with your eyes closed. For those who doubt their abilities, you can install parktronics.
