Reverse parking is a real stumbling block for novice motorists and autoladies. Beginners usually do not feel the dimensions of the car very well, and in a dense environment with other cars, negligence can result in scratches on the bumper, communication with traffic police and spoiled mood.
That is why reverse parking is an element that is very important to master in order not to get into unpleasant and stupid situations. This technique is quite difficult, since you need to control the space from three sides: behind and on the sides.
Parking using reverse gear can be divided into 2 types: "check-in" element and parallel parking.
Perpendicular parking in reverse, often referred to on the court as "check-in to the box", is not too difficult to perform, but requires some skill. To perform it, you must first unscrew the steering wheel to the end in the direction where parking will be carried out, and then, guided by the mirrors, align the course so that you stand exactly between the two cars.
It must be taken into account that in order to leave the car, you will needopen the doors, so the distance to neighboring cars must be sufficient for such an action. The curb or obstacle that limits the parking space at the rear must also be taken into account so as not to damage the car.
If you are not sure that you feel the dimensions of the car, it is better to install parking sensors that will help you not to crash anywhere and, in general, will facilitate the parking process, as it will even "see" the curb. When parking in a place densely packed with cars, it is also important to control the space in front, because with a poorly calculated trajectory of movement, you can easily catch the corner of the bumper of the neighbor standing next to you.
Reverse parking between cars or parallel parking -
maneuver, which, as is commonly believed, fails the fair sex. But this is just a myth. Any autolady can master it, although the element is really quite complicated. It is important to understand the trajectory of the front and rear of the car. Before starting the parking process, the steering wheel is completely unscrewed towards the parking space. After the bumper of the parked car is located at an angle of approximately 45 degrees to the curb, you should begin to unscrew the steering wheel in the opposite direction, bringing the front of the body into the parking space. After that, you can adjust the position of the car by driving a little forward and leveling the body. You need to carefully monitor the position of the car, focusing on the mirrors.
Reversing parking is difficult because the driver's attention must constantly switch from one object to another, at the same time he must be focused on the trajectory of movement and monitoring the general situation (the presence of pedestrians in the line of sight, for example).
Only experience and practice can help master each of these elements so that they can be performed even with your eyes closed. For those who doubt their abilities, parking sensors can be installed.

Battery. Polarity direct and reverse
Car battery is one of the most important components of a vehicle. It not only starts the engine and unloads the work of the generator, but also feeds all on-board electronics
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
How to park in reverse correctly
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
Sign "Parking is prohibited": the effect of the sign, parking under the sign and a fine for it
In a modern metropolis, the problem of stopping, and even more so parking, is sometimes much more serious than the movement itself. Still would! Cities are filled to overflowing with cars, and more and more often it turns out that the driver does not stop where it is possible, but where he can perch. And sometimes such tricks end in fines, and in the worst case, sending the car to a car impound
To make parking easier, buy parking sensors
Parking is often a problem for motorists, and it's not just about experience - it's just that our cities aren't geared up for this amount of traffic. Even if you are lucky, and a place for a car was found not far from the destination, then squeezing in there and not scratching your own or someone else's vehicle is sometimes very problematic. To facilitate maneuvers during parking, parking sensors have been developed
