Principles of reversing a car you must know

1.The driver's posture must be appropriate,Adjust mirrors for best visibility, minimizing blind spotsWhen reversing; Mirrors must be bright and clean.

2.In case of straight backing, easy backing, backing into a familiar position, good light and weather, then you only need tolook in the mirror or over your shoulder, depending on your personal preference.

3.When backing into a strange position, difficult backing, backing in a zigzag pattern, or in unfavorable light or weather,You should combine looking in 3 mirrors with looking over your shoulder to the right or left;Leaning over and reaching for the mirror will help you see more clearly. It is necessary to adjust the mirror down to see low positions, especially when you have to back up to one side; you may even have to stick your head through the door to keep an eye out.

4.In low light conditions, strange environments, having to back into difficult positionsIt would be better to wait, get out of the car, observe and come up with a plan.. It's raining heavily, accept getting wet, get out of the car and observe if necessary.

5. Get into the habit of observing from a distance and then pulling closer to eliminate blind spots when reversing.Easily detect mounds of soil, deep holes, markers, tree pots, children, and livestock from a distance, thereby having a reasonable treatment plan.

6. Back "stick to the belly" - back to whichever side, stick to that side more;When reversing, pay attention to the front of the car to avoid rubbing it because when reversing in a curve, the front of the car tends to tilt out in the opposite direction to the direction the car is reversing.

7. Use fixed points in the nearby space to determine the vehicle's direction, position, and to align the vehicle and the position where it must stop.Get into the habit of creating a sense of position and relative distance by using the lower edge of the rear windshield as a point of comparison. When driving on the street, you need to pull over to the curb, from the driver's position, looking through the lower edge of the front windshield, you will see the intersection with the sidewalk.

8.When backing up or moving into a wall, bush, gate or garage... you shouldTurn on the low beams, because the light reflected from the lights on objects will help estimate the safe distance.The smaller and brighter the light, the closer the car gets to the obstacle. With the method of using lights, if the driver has a good feeling, he can get very close to the obstacle with a distance of centimeters.

9.In case of parking on the riverbank or pond bank, the parking position requires reversing perpendicular to the length of the river or pond bank, but the driver is not familiar with the feeling of the accelerator pedal due to the rough and bumpy surface and feels a lack of confidence because if he accidentally steps on the accelerator, the car may fall into the river, then he shouldBack up slowly, combine the brake, accelerator, handbrake and clutch if the car is manual. Before leaving the car, remember to shift the gear lever to P and pull the handbrake.

10.When reversing, maneuvering in tight spaces,One-handed steering skills are essential.Practice parking situations, including parallel and parallel parking.
