To be confident on the road and ensure safety, drivers need to be equipped with accurate knowledge of reversing.
Steering opposite to the direction of reversing
Many new drivers are often confused about steering when reversing. Accordingly, experts advise that the steering direction is opposite to the direction of reversing. When steering to the left, the car will reverse to the right. Conversely, if steering to the right, the car will reverse to the left. To reverse to which side, the driver needs to steer in the opposite direction.
Steer at the right time
When reversing, it is important to determine the right time to turn the steering wheel and adjust the speed appropriately. Turning the steering wheel too early or too late will cause the car to veer off course.
Don't back up if you see the wrong angle.
In case of excessive backing up, the rear of the car is too close or too far from the stall, do not continue backing up. Instead, shift into 1st gear, move forward while steering the car to a straight position relative to the stall, then back up.
Pay attention to rhythmically combining the accelerator, clutch and brake operations to ensure the car reverses smoothly, without jerking.
"Advance by following the back, retreat by following the belly"
This is the principle that drivers need to remember. The back is the outside of the car, the belly is the inside of the car.
With the principle of "forward, back, belly", if you reverse the car to one side, hold more on that side. If you reverse to the right, hold on the right belly. If you reverse to the left, hold on the left belly.
Always turn on the signal
Another important principle of reversing is to always turn on the turn signal to signal surrounding vehicles. In addition, depending on each specific situation, the driver keeps the gear lever in D or N.
Practice observing and estimating distances
According to experts, new drivers should regularly practice observing and estimating distances. A tip for practicing reversing is to start by reversing straight, then gradually increase the difficulty to reversing into a parking space and reversing in a Z shape.
Adjust rearview mirror
The area behind the car has many obstacles and blind spots that are difficult for the driver to observe. Therefore, to reverse safely, the driver must adjust the opening of the rearview mirrors on both sides so that the rear of the car can be clearly seen. This helps the driver estimate the exact distance when reversing.
Reverse slowly
Reverse is the strongest gear in the gearbox, so when reversing, you must keep a slow speed. When reversing, keep your foot on the brake pedal to avoid unfortunate collisions. In addition, reversing slowly helps the driver to handle unexpected situations in time.
