It is necessary to adjust the mirror down to see low positions, especially when you have to back up close to one side; you may even have to stick your head out the door to watch.

6. Back "stick to the belly" - whichever side you back to, 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 of the car reversing.
7. Use fixed points in the nearby space to determine the vehicle's direction, position, and to align the vehicle and the stopping position.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, 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 safe distances.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 a 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 vehicle is manual. Before leaving the vehicle, remember to shift the gear lever to P and pull the handbrake.
