Can the vehicle touch the line during curve driving?

For the C1 license Category 2 test (small vehicle), the front of the car must not touch the line during curve driving, as this will result in disqualification. Here are the relevant details: Regulations: According to the "Motor Vehicle Driver Test Content and Methods", the following criteria apply for curve driving evaluation: Driving over the road edge line with wheels - disqualification. Stopping midway - disqualification. Not using gear 2 or higher during driving - 5-point deduction. Precautions for curve driving test: When in a curve, use the steering wheel to keep the small rearview mirror on the inner side of the car hood always aligned with the outer edge of the white line (specifically, not crossing the line nor staying too far from the edge line). Straighten the direction when reaching the end of the S-curve.
During my driving school training for reverse parking and curve driving, the instructor repeatedly emphasized the importance of not 'sweeping the line,' meaning the tires must not touch the lane boundary lines. Curve driving typically involves S-shaped turns, and at first, I was flustered, steering inaccurately and crossing the lines several times, resulting in point deductions. Later, I learned the key points: maintain a slow speed, look further ahead instead of fixating on the wheels, and make slight steering adjustments without turning too sharply. After practice, I could feel the wheels hugging the inner edge of the curve, avoiding sweeping outward. In the driving test standards, sweeping the line results in an immediate fail because it indicates unstable control. In everyday driving, crossing lines could lead to fines or accident risks. So, I focused on these details during practice and finally mastered the technique, making curve driving both flexible and safe.
Never cross the line when driving around a curve, which means don't let your tires go over the lane markings. I've been driving for ten years, and experience tells me that crossing the line not only results in points deducted during exams but is also more dangerous on highways, potentially causing rollovers or collisions with guardrails. Avoiding it is simple: before turning, look at the entry point of the curve, maintain a steady speed, and steer smoothly without sudden turns. If the road is slippery or has sharp curves, slowing down in advance can further prevent crossing the line. I often drive on mountain roads to work, and these practical skills ensure safety. Remember, safe driving is the golden rule.
Can you cross the line during curve driving? No. Vehicle design ensures the optimal trajectory during turns, and tire crossing the line means deviating from the safe range. Based on my experience with modified cars, the weight distribution of the vehicle affects the turning radius, and improper control can easily lead to crossing the line. The technique to avoid this is to enter the turn slowly and exit quickly, using your vision to guide the direction. Practice more during driving training.
