Performing practical exercises on the circuit is not an easy task. A similar phrase can often be heard from drivers who honestly studied at a driving school. Not everyone is able to quickly master the skills of competent and safe driving. Consider the algorithm of actions when performing one of the most difficult exercises or how to drive into a garage at a race track.

The essence of the exercise

Correctly acting on the command “Enter the box” is immediately obtained only by individual citizens who clearly have some driving experience. It is especially difficult for the fair sex to perform such an exercise.

The essence of this practical exercise is simple - in reverse you need to drive into an imaginary garage (box). “Imaginary” because in fact you will have to enter an absolutely flat area, the size of which is limited by special flagpoles.

The imaginary garage is located at right angles to the direction of travel, and the dimensions in length and width are only about a meter larger than the length and width of the car. In general, the task conditions are as close as possible to real conditions driving life, when you have to park in very cramped conditions. In addition, the maneuvering area in front of the imaginary "gates" is only two lengths training car. So, it is most likely that it will not work correctly to drive into the garage at the autodrome on the first try.

How to get into the garage

First of all, it is necessary to exclude randomness and thoughtlessness of actions in driving a car. For correct execution, you need to clearly understand the sequence of maneuvers. It's even better to draw a diagram of the movement on paper and keep it in your head. Instructors in driving schools clearly define the stages of the exercise:

• Slowly drive up to the border "start".
• Stay.
• Get into boxing.
• Stay.

Of course, you need to reverse into the box without touching any of its three “walls”.

Step-by-step instructions for entering the box

• Having approached the starting line, stop and wait for the instructor's further command.
• Continue moving, bringing the right mirror as close as possible to the near edge of the box.
• Stop, turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and continue driving.
• Drive until the near edge of the box appears in the rear view mirror. Stay.
• Align the steering wheel, engage reverse gear and start driving back the car.
• Having caught up with the rear right door with the "gates" of the box - stop.
• Continue driving, controlling the distance from the walls to the car.
• Turn the steering wheel all the way to the right and try to level the car.
• After the car is parallel to the walls, you can stop.
• Continue moving back to the back wall until you enter the box completely.

Other highlights

You need to understand that you will have to perform this exercise during the exam in the presence of a traffic police inspector and take training seriously, carefully listening to the instructor's advice. The fact is that even with the correct execution of the exercise as a whole, penalty points can be awarded to a novice driver for individual shortcomings.

So, for example, when crossing any horizontal line or touching the flagpole, the examinee is awarded five points. I could not turn on the reverse gear, forgot to turn on the "neutral" after stopping with the engine running, or did not put the car on the "handbrake" after the final stop - three points. The most offensive is the punishment for a stalled engine in the amount of one penalty point.

You need to understand that there are no trifles in practical driving exams, and any negligence in performing a drive to the garage at the autodrome can lead to a subsequent re-examination.

In this article, we will look at one of the ways to complete the examination exercise Reversing into the box (garage).

The procedure for performing the exercise is reversing into the box (garage)

1. We start the exercise from the START line, move parallel to the line of the AB racks as close as possible to it.

When pillar A is level with the first third of the window (on another car, a mirror can be a reference), we stop (as in the exercise "", when a certain skill is reached, you can not stop at the intermediate stages of execution).

2. Turn the steering wheel to the leftmost position, move at low speed, without crossing the line of cones EF, stop.

3. Look in side mirrors rear view, we determine on which side the distance from the side line of the car to the first pillars is greater. In the direction of a greater distance, it will be necessary to turn the wheels.

In our case, the distance from the right pillar B is greater, we do not see the pillar A in the left mirror at all.

4. We turn the steering wheel to the extreme right position, slowly move back, when the distances from the side lines of the car to the first pillars on the right and left are the same, we stop.

Rice. 5

If the starting position shown in Fig. 2 was successful, then the line of the AC (and BD) pillars will be parallel to the line of the body.

We make the wheels straight, move back until the front dimension of the car crosses the line of the pillars AB, we stop (an auxiliary landmark is the G pillar at the level of the window edge). Put in neutral and handbrake.

Rice. 6

If the starting position turned out to be, for example,

then when moving towards the cones EF, the car will be in this position:

Rice. eight

The distance to the right is greater, which means we turn the steering wheel to the right, start moving back, when L1 is equal to L2, we stop.

Rice. 9

We make the wheels straight, move back until the rear wheel is on the line of the AB racks, stop.

Rice. 10

We look in the mirrors, determine from which side the distance from the sidewalls of the car to the last C and D pillars is greater in that direction and turn the wheels, in our case to the right. We move back until the car is parallel to the line of the AC pillars,

Rice. eleven

make the wheels straight, finish the exercise.

On the other hand, the exercise Reversing into the box (garage) is performed similarly.
If you see that you do not fit into the box, you can return to the EF cones and repeat the race.

Exam errors in the exercise Reversing into the box (garage)

Gross errors - 5 penalty points

• He knocked down elements of marking equipment or crossed the line of horizontal marking of the site.
• Did not cross the "STOP" line (according to the projection front clearance TS).

Medium errors - 3 penalty points

• I could not enter the box with a one-time reverse gear.
• Did not shift into neutral after stopping with the engine running.
• Did not include parking brake after stopping at the STOP line.

Minor mistakes - 1 penalty point

• During the exercise, the engine stalled.

Driver Candidate:

• Enters the exercise area;
• Maneuvering in reverse, sets the vehicle in the box so that the projection of the front clearance vehicle crossed the control line;
• Includes neutral gear and fixes the vehicle in a stationary state;
• Leaves the box and crosses the end line of the exercise;

Depending on the traffic organization scheme used at the autodrome, automated autodrome or closed area, the exercise can be carried out both on the left and on the right side of the box.

To complete this exercise, you need to know that:

• Entry into the box at your choice can be carried out from the starting position, both from the right and from the left side of the site, as well as along any trajectory;
• When performing the exercise, it is necessary to use the width of the corridor as much as possible, control the minimum speed of movement, choose a place to stop in front of the left "wall" of the corridor, then turn on the reverse gear, turn the body to the right and start moving in reverse;
• While reversing, you should carefully work with the steering wheel - the steering wheel must be turned smoothly, while monitoring changes in the trajectory of the car;
• You should be guided by the extreme right post of the box: try to approach it at a distance of 0.5 m and then move exactly to the middle of the gate;
• At the moment when rear bumper catches up with the gate of the box, you need to start turning the steering wheel to the right and as soon as the center line of the car begins to coincide with the center line of the box, turn the steering wheel back (to the left). Moreover, the steering wheel must be in the position of rectilinear movement no later than the car itself takes this position;
• The movement in a straight line to the end of the box must be completed 0.5 m before the back wall.

To complete this exercise, you need to master the following procedure:

1. Having approached the line of the beginning of the exercise, cross it and continue moving forward. At this stage, your task is to drive with the right rear-view mirror as close as possible to cone number 1. The closer you drive, the easier it will be to enter the box. At the moment when cone number 1 is opposite the right rear-view mirror, unscrew as quickly as possible wheel all the way to the left;
2. When moving to the left, keep the steering wheel in the leftmost position. At the same time, look in the right rear-view mirror! In this mirror, you need to catch cone number 1. Moreover, in such a way that there is a small gap in the mirror between the cone and the car (10 centimeters);
3. Also, be careful not to hit cone number 3 with the front of the car. If cone number 1 still has not appeared in the right rear-view mirror, and there is nowhere to go, then you need to stop, before stopping, start turning the steering wheel as quickly as possible to the right until it stops (prepare the steering wheel);
4. Engage reverse gear;
5. Start moving to the right. Look in the right rear-view mirror and look for cone number 1 in it. As soon as about 10 centimeters remain before it in the mirror, turn the steering wheel to the left as quickly as possible to a straight position;
6. Continue driving in reverse while keeping the steering wheel clearly straight. Turning back over your right shoulder, watch the back of the car enter the garage. When the rear wheels of the car crossed the control line (It is most convenient to follow this by focusing on cones 4 and 5, since the line itself is not visible from the car), unscrew the steering wheel all the way to the right;
7. Start leveling the car in the garage (guided by the rear-view mirrors on cones 6 and 7);
8. As soon as the car is parallel to the edges of the garage, align the steering wheel straight;
9. Quietly enter the garage completely and stop;
10. Drive out of the garage. Drive straight until cone number 2 is between the front and rear left doors. After that, turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and drive out of the exercise area.

Quite often, on the car of a friend, acquaintance, relative, you can see scratches and other damage to the body. To the question "What happened?" you get the answer "I drove into the garage."

To avoid such unpleasant situations and pass the exercise on the site in the traffic police the first time, we will look at how to properly drive into the garage in reverse, and also get acquainted with the most common mistakes and the table of penalty points. This will allow you to come to the exam prepared and confident in your own abilities and knowledge - although this is not enough, the technique must still be worked out.

Location

The venue for the exercise is a specially equipped area that imitates a garage, into which you need to drive in reverse. The task of the driver is to enter the "garage" (box, parking space - depending on who imagines what) without hitting its side walls and without hitting the back of the car against the wall behind.

Area size: car width +1m, car length +1m, the exercise lane is two car lengths.

With such dimensions and dimensions of the training machine, it will not be possible to drive into the “garage” in front. That is why the exercise is performed exclusively in reverse.

Target

The main objective of the exercise is to teach future drivers to reverse into the garage and into the parking space between two cars. Today it is difficult to find a parking lot where you can park in front, as there is not enough free space for this.

By reversing the exam, a driving school cadet shows the traffic police inspector his skills and ability to drive into the garage on his own, without damaging his own car.

Stages

Checking into the garage in reverse consists of three main stages:

• Drive up and stop at the start line.
• Drive into a pocket simulating a garage.
• Stay

The technical side of the exercise

Now let's look at each stage in more detail so that you know what to expect on the exam and how to pass it successfully.

The first step is to drive up to the starting line and stop without crossing the lines with a bumper. After a stop, neutral gear is engaged. You should immediately pay attention to the "neutral": if you do not switch the car to it, you can get a penalty point.

Next, we move off and begin to slowly move forward. Approaching the "garage" you need right side car to snuggle closer to the first chip - the beginning of the right wall of the garage. If this is not done, then there may not be enough space for the further execution of the exercise, and it will not be possible to complete the race.

Thus, we reach the indicated chips with the right mirror and turn the steering wheel to the left until it stops. The car is now moving to the left. When driving, keep the steering wheel securely in the left position, preventing it from turning in the opposite direction. We also carefully look in the mirror to the right - in it you need to catch a chip, which is the beginning of the wall to the right relative to the car. This chip should be at some distance from the side of the car - 10-15 centimeters. This is how everything should be reflected in the mirror.

As soon as all the above conditions are met, we stop the car and put the wheels in a level position. After that, we turn on the reverse gear and start moving back in a straight line.

Now turn back and look at rear glass. To make it comfortable, you can hug the front passenger seat with your right hand. We observe how the car gradually drives into the right place, but up to a certain point. When a chip appears near the right rear door - the beginning of the garage wall - we stop again.

The next step is to turn the steering wheel to the right until it stops and resume the movement back. We carefully monitor what is happening in the mirror. When the distances between the side pieces and the sides of the car are the same, quickly align the steering wheel and put the wheels in an even position, while not stopping or slowing down.

We drive deep into the "garage", and when the front of the car crosses the line of chips - the beginning of the walls - we stop, turn on the neutral gear and put the car on the "handbrake".

End. The exercise of reversing into the garage is completed, the car is in the right place and you can already relax.

If you do everything as described above, then this guarantees you a 99% success rate in the exam.

Possible mistakes

TO common mistakes relate:

• Downed chips, which are the beginning of the right and left walls of the "garage".
• A downed chip behind the car, upon arrival at the garage.
• The car did not fully drive into the "garage".

In the first case, the error can occur for two reasons:

• The car came too close to the right side of the chip.
• Too early began to align the steering wheel on arrival.

In the second case, the fault will be bust with entry.

And the last case is extremely rare, but still happens. Here the reason lies in the fear of knocking down a chip behind the car.

Penalty points

1. A chip is knocked down or a horizontal line is crossed - 5 points
2. Crossed "Stop line" - 5 points
3. Engine stalled - 3 points
4. When the engine was running, the neutral gear was not engaged - 3 points
5. Upon arrival reverse gear turned on several times - 3 points
6. At the end of the exercise, the car was not put on hand brake– 3 points

Driving into the garage in reverse in real conditions

Now imagine that the exams are passed, the rights are obtained, and it is time to test the acquired skills in practice. Consider a situation where we need to drive into a garage, with minimal space.

Moving forward, we drive up with the right mirror as close as possible to the beginning of the garage wall, turn the steering wheel to the left and look in the right mirror. As in the case of the site, the wall should appear in the mirror at a distance of 10-15 cm from the starboard side of the car.

We turn on the reverse gear and start to call in the garage. As soon as the beginning of the wall aligns with the right back door, turn the steering wheel to the right and continue driving.

When the car takes a level position in relation to both walls, the wheels are aligned, and it remains only to drive into the garage to the end.

At the end, we turn on the "neutral" and put the car on the "handbrake".

It is worth noting that various objects can lie near the walls of the garage, on the floor - parts, tires, tool boxes, etc. Therefore, in this situation, you need to ensure that you do not run into them. Failure to do so may puncture the tire or damage the paintwork of the body.

Parking using the exercise “Reversing into the garage”

Everything here is identical to the site and the real garage. Only instead of chips and walls, you need to navigate by the headlights of cars between which you need to park. True, if the roadway is narrow, then you need to complete all the steps quickly so as not to create a traffic jam from cars coming from behind.

illustrative example

In order to see a live example of the exercise, we recommend watching a short video that clearly shows how the whole process of backing into the garage goes.

Easy, simple, fast

In order to successfully pass the race in the garage in reverse, more practice is needed. So if something doesn't work, then take extra hours or find a private instructor who can help solve your problem. Only persistent development of the technique of arrival will allow you to pass the exam easily, simply and quickly.

After carefully reading all the articles in the cycle, you will have the opportunity to pass the exam perfectly!

Good afternoon, dear reader.

In the next article from the series "Pass the circuit with a half kick" the features of the exercise will be considered entrance to the box in reverse at the autodrome.

Its essence is that the driver candidate must drive into a small garage located perpendicular to the trajectory of movement.

In my opinion, this exercise is the most difficult for a novice driver. However, you will have to learn how to do it anyway. After all, sooner or later, a candidate driver will have to drive his own car into a garage or parking space. It is there that the skills gained at the race track will come in handy.

Let's go directly to the exercise:

Check-in to the garage in reverse at the autodrome

Playground for exercise back to garage shown in the figure:

It is an imaginary box in which you need to drive the car in reverse. In practice, this can be not only a garage, but also any place in the parking lot. The driver candidate must drive into the garage and not hook on its walls. Or avoid scratching neighboring cars in case of a parking space.

As for the dimensions of an imaginary box (car width + 1m X car length + 1m), in practice there are larger garages, but parking spaces are also more compact.

The maneuver must be performed on a lane with a width equal to the length of the car + 1 meter. I think there is no need to explain why in this case you have to park backwards. After all, it is very difficult to enter in such conditions beforehand.

The procedure for entering the box in reverse

1. Drive up to the start line of the exercise, stop.
2. Drive into the garage in reverse.
3. Stop in the garage.
4. Drive out of the garage and leave the limits of the exercise.

Table of errors for the exercise

The first column of the table contains descriptions of possible errors, and the second - the number of errors that can be made. 0 means that after the first mistake for the exam, the mark "NOT PASSED" is set.

Error	Possible quantity
113.1. Did not start the test exercise within 30 seconds after receiving the command (signal) to start its implementation.	0
113.2. Knocked down marking equipment.	2
113.3. According to the projection of the vehicle dimensions, he left the borders of the test exercise sections, indicated by road marking lines 1.1 white or 1.4 yellow and marking cones (marking posts), or drove a wheel onto the marking line indicating the boundaries of the test exercise sections, depending on the conditions for performing the test exercises..	0
113.5. Did not cross the control line external dimensions vehicle in cases where the crossing of the control line is provided for by the conditions for performing the test exercise.	0
113.6. Deviated from the given trajectory of movement, provided for by the conditions of the test exercise.	0
113.7. Made the engine stop.	2
113.15. Left the exam (refused to perform the test exercise).	0

How to drive into the garage in reverse?

1. Stop in front of the start line of the exercise.

2. Start moving forward. At this stage, the main task is to drive the right rear-view mirror as close to chip number 1 as possible. The closer the car is, the more room there will be for maneuvering and the easier it will be to complete the exercise. Stop the car after chip number 1 is between the front and rear right doors of the car (near the central pillar).

3. Stop at the chip. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left.

4. Start moving forward, while the car turns left. Keep the steering wheel in the extreme left position. Look in the right rear view mirror! In this mirror, you need to monitor the position of cone number 2. You need to stop at the moment when a small gap remains in the mirror between the pole and the car (10 centimeters).

Also, be careful not to hit the cone with the front of the car. If pole number 2 still hasn't appeared in your rearview mirror and there's nowhere to go, then stop.

5. Stop. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the right. Turn on the transmission reversing!

6. Start moving. Look in the right rearview mirror and look for pillar number 2 in it. As soon as there is about 10 centimeters left in the mirror, stop.

7. Stop. Turn the steering wheel so that the car drives straight ahead. Leave reverse gear engaged!

Good luck on the roads!

This is much easier to do. Drive up to chip number 1 as close to the line as possible, from the mirror to the chip 15-20 centimeters. The steering wheel is all the way to the right (or left), depending on which side you drove up from. The car stands perpendicular to the stop line. Align the steering wheel. We look in the rear-view mirrors and slowly start moving in reverse, adjusting the position of the car with the steering wheel. If there is more space on the right between the car and the "garage wall", then we turn to the right, if on the left, then to the left. Nothing complicated. And more close to reality, where you will not have any chips.

Alexander-90

That's the joke, that in this case the exercise is performed from an acute angle to the box! If you stand perpendicular to the stop line, this exercise becomes even easier than turning in a limited space and is done with a half kick.

The car stands perpendicular to the stop line.

There is a suspicion that the lane width for vehicle maneuvers in your case is more than necessary. In this case, it may turn out to stand along the garage immediately, and not at an angle.

Hello! In our traffic police at the autodrome, you have to drive into the box from your pocket, i.e. from the roadway you turn into a pocket in which the box is either on the right or on the left. There is sooo little room for maneuver, will the procedure be the same as described here, or are there any special tips?

Danya, Hello.

1. The site must comply with the requirements specified in the regulatory documents. If the dimensions on the exercise differ from the dimensions indicated in the article, then you can file a complaint with the higher authorities.

2. In general, the order should be the same. The scheme is quite universal. However, I recommend that you check before the exam whether the car passes the dimensions. Those. Before the exam, do the exercise 2-3 times.

Good luck with exams!

Thank you for quick response! In our country (I am writing from one of the Central Asian countries), unfortunately, the traffic police examination track is different from the one where they taught to drive in a driving school. It is fully automated, ie. there is no examiner in the car - a very harmfully tuned computer and an operator broadcasting on the radio are in charge, for whom the slightest flaw is the failure of the exam. There is no opportunity to travel around everything and train in advance, and you won’t even really see how others are doing.

The last time I didn’t pass the exam precisely because of this entrance to the garage - I entered the box only on the second attempt, but I only needed it on the first, as I found out later.

Tomorrow is a transfer. I will try your recipe :)

So I did as described in the article ... until yesterday. Everything was redrawn and now you can’t do it, you need to stand at an angle of 45 degrees at the entrance. to the garage and taxi out from there, and the box itself, in my opinion, has become smaller ...

Tina, the article shows the dimensions that the exercise area should correspond to.

If in doubt that the exercise is marked correctly, take a tape measure with you and measure everything. If necessary, write a statement to the owner of the circuit.

Good luck on the roads!

so in a driving school they explained that these are new requirements - entry diagonally, at 45 degrees. I don’t think that something is wrong there, it’s just that the traffic police so demanded ... But I can’t find a method for doing something ... Sometimes it turns out well, but you miss and don’t fit in ...

Hello! And according to the new rules of surrender, which comes into effect from September 2016, the item "deviated from the given trajectory when completing the task" prohibits entering the box when entering the box, if it did not "fit in", go a little forward and again enter the box from a different angle ? Thanks in advance!

Sofia, Hello.

The traffic police did not give any comments on this issue, so it is currently not clear whether the re-engagement of reverse gear will be considered a deviation from the given trajectory. The word trajectory does not appear at all. Therefore, it can be understood this way and that way. However, the description says:

19. Candidate driver:

maneuvering backwards, sets the vehicle in the box so that the projection of the front dimension of the vehicle crosses the control line;

About the use of forward gear in this paragraph is not mentioned. So in practice, you need to enter the box in one run, because. otherwise, the examiner will not pass the exam.

Good luck on the roads!

Hello! Thanks for the tips, I just started to master the circuit and, thanks to you, everything is easier to remember. But I would like instructions on how to enter the garage according to the new requirements, at an angle of 45%. Or at least briefly tell what the procedure will be in this case).

Maria, Hello.

The article was written taking into account the current requirements for the examination site. The order described in it is used when passing exams starting from September 1, 2016.

An angle of 45 degrees in this case is not necessary.

Good luck with exams!

Tatiana-51

Today I watched the exams. Yes, they require an angle of 45 degrees, if the trajectory is different, the exercise is not counted. That is, drive up to the left side should not be as indicated in the image, but to the pole to the right. And check in at one time, no stops and tackles. Entry into boxing was done first, of the 20 people that I observed, only three passed the exercise. But the main mistake was - underrolling, that is, the front dimensions did not cross the control line.

Here, on our site, they demand to drive into the corner with your nose ... To enter 45 degrees ... Where can I see the official documents for this exercise?

Ana, especially for you, I finalized the picture from the regulations.

Note:

1. You need to put the car in front at all not in the direction of the corner of the site. The red continuation of the arrow ends 40-50 cm from the corner.

2. The angle when performing this exercise is not 45 degrees, but 39.

P.S. This information I cited so that readers understand that the figure shows an approximate trajectory of movement. Absolutely no one will be able to drive along this trajectory. If desired, you can calculate the angle to tenths of a degree, and the distance from the angle to millimeters. However, this is not the essence of the exercise.

Traffic police officers who require the car to be parked at an angle of 45 degrees act illegally, there are no such requirements in the document.

Good luck with exams!

Hello!

And somewhere it is regulated what should be the design limiters? There used to be racks, but now traffic cops demand to remove them and put cones.

Good day! Please tell me, the traffic police inspector requires not to stop when performing the exercises "checking into the box in reverse" and "parallel parking", that is, to drive through without stopping, is this legal, and in what document is it written? The administrative regulations in this regard are raw, there is no detailed information.

Yuri, Hello.

There is no such requirement in the regulations. Ask the inspector why he makes such illegal demands.

Good luck with exams!

Ask the inspector why he makes such illegal demands.

When I took the test (although it was 15 years ago), the candidates were not forbidden to actually stop, but they were forbidden to turn the steering wheel on standing car. The ban was motivated by possible damage to the steering. I suspect that in the new regulations such a loophole has remained in some form.

Hello Maxim! When performing the exercise check in boxing, front bumper stood on the control line, the examiner sent me to retake. I did not have 15 cm to pass back. Is this a gross mistake?

Irina, Hello.

Apparently, you made a mistake on paragraph 113.5 (if the bumper was above the line). In this case, the examiner is right.

Good luck on the roads!

Hello! Today I did not pass the exam, because after entering the garage, at the exit I turned not to the left, but to the right. There were no cones on either side, to the question "Where to go next?" The inspector replied "Wherever you want." Did I deserve to pass?

Thank you:).

Artem, Hello.

If the exam was videotaped in the car, I recommend challenging the results. The traffic police officer allowed you to leave in any direction, there is no mistake in this.

Good luck with exams!

I rented it by car, in its specifications the length is 4295 mm, therefore the garage element should be 5295 mm in size (well, the width of the element on which we are before entering the garage itself, the garage is on the right), later I went with a tape measure and measured and measured exactly 5 meters there. Of our group of 14, 10 crashed the circuit. And almost everyone had the same error, almost everyone pressed too close to the left side when entering the garage itself. They performed as the instructor taught, according to "their" guidelines, and we did not succeed, just because of the lack of 10-20 cm in preparation for the race. Many noticed that the left row of cones seemed to be closer and it was a bit crowded on the figure. Is this size correct or not, and is it legal to reduce it?
