Modern electronics is developing at such a rapid pace that soon cars will be on the same level with the owner in terms of intelligence. But that's in the future. In the meantime, the motorist still has to think with his head and act with his hands. And here many, especially beginners, drivers have difficulties - how to park in reverse so as not to catch nearby cars.
Parking always causes certain difficulties, especially in metropolitan areas. It's not easy to find a free spot, and it's even more difficult to "squeeze" your car into a limited space. Rarely, when at once, with a simple movement of the steering wheel, it is possible to put the car in a "direct" course. More often than not, everyone has to drive into the vacant seat in reverse. And this maneuver in many causes trembling in the knees. Let's try step by step to understand the algorithm of such parking.
About how to park in reverse, they talked at the driving school. However, the limited amount of time to master this maneuver hardly allowed him to master it perfectly. Most inexperienced motorists have reverse parkingends with the setting of the car diagonally, with the rear wheels buried in the curb. This is at best. And at worst, parked cars suffer nearby. To save yourself from such problems, you should remember a simple algorithm of actions.
How to learn to park in reverse - step by step instructions:
1. Assessment of the road situation. Before you put the car, you should find a place. To do this, you need to slowly move in the far right lane, carefully examining the parked cars. You should move slowly, periodically shifting your gaze along the entire street. In this case, you do not have to brake sharply if there is free space in the field of view. If you find free space, you should evaluate the ratio of its size to the dimensions of the car. In other words, try on whether your car will fit there. Please note that the length of the free space should be 40-50 cm longer than the length of your car.
2. Proper stop before parking. The place is found, it remains to put the car there. To do this, stop in front of the vehicle in front and turn on the turn signal. You must stop your vehicle about a meter from the car in front. If the parking space is just being vacated, allow the other driver to exit freely before reversing. Don't block his way. As soon as he leaves the parking lot, advance your vehicle for the maneuver so that the rearthe bumper of your vehicle was in line with the rear bumper of the "neighbor" in front.
3. Maneuvering. So, you put the car in the starting position. Now, without moving, turn the steering wheel towards the curb. Not to failure! Half a turn will suffice. Then turn on reverse gear and begin to carefully and smoothly back the car back, adjusting the trajectory of movement with the steering wheel. At the same time, you should carefully monitor the passage of your car relative to standing cars in the mirrors so as not to hook the bumper behind the standing “neighbor”. When the middle of the front fender of your vehicle is level with the rear bumper of the car in front, turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction from the curb. All the way! The movement is not interrupted. That's it, the car smoothly rises to an empty seat.
How to learn to park - general tips:
- It is unlikely that you will be able to park your car in reverse the first time. Therefore, before performing this maneuver on city streets, it is recommended to practice on some wasteland, using cardboard boxes as “neighboring” parking cars.
- If parking is done on a slope, for safety reasons, it is recommended to turn the wheels towards the curb on the descent and towards the road - on the rise. This will protect the machine from spontaneous movement downhill.
- After practicing reverse parking techniques, take your time when maneuvering in the city. Do not make sudden starts and stops. Remember, you are in city traffic, and your actions are a hindrance to other road users. Therefore, all maneuvers must be carried out quickly, and at the same time smoothly.

From childhood, we are familiar with traffic lights, but in detail the features of their work are studied only by drivers.

It's no secret that every motorist wants to drive his car with maximum comfort. To do this, some drivers purchase anatomical seats in the cabin, others make tuning suspensions, and still others purchase a braid on the steering wheel. The latter option really increases the level of comfort, because the driver’s hands are always on the steering wheel, respectively, it should not slip and cause irritation to the motorist

Reverse traffic on the road
Few people know that in the rules of the road there is such a thing as a "road with reverse traffic." Not all Russian car owners have experienced such a phenomenon in practice. And all because today reverse traffic is constantly present only on the roads of Moscow and St. Petersburg. However, it does not hurt any driver to become more familiar with this concept and how things work on roads with reverse traffic
