Can You Drive Forward During Reverse Parking?
1 Answers
During the Subject 2 driving test, you cannot drive forward while performing reverse parking, as it will result in a 100-point deduction. Reverse parking is a mandatory test item for obtaining a small vehicle driver's license after 2013. It assesses the driver's ability to maneuver the vehicle in a confined space and is a key evaluation point in the driver's test. Here are the techniques for reverse parking: Right-side parking technique: When you hear the in-car voice prompt 'Begin reverse parking test,' press the clutch, shift into reverse gear, release the handbrake, gently lift the clutch, and slowly reverse. Observe the left-side rearview mirror; when the lower edge of the mirror aligns with the dashed line, quickly turn the steering wheel fully to the right. As the car slowly reverses, watch the right-side rearview mirror. When the right side of the car is about 30cm from the parking spot corner, straighten the steering wheel. Observe the right rear wheel through the right-side rearview mirror; when the wheel is on the extension line of the parking spot, turn the steering wheel fully to the right again. Watch the left-side rearview mirror; when you see the parking spot corner, straighten the steering wheel and slowly enter the spot. Stop when the lower edge of the left-side rearview mirror aligns with the front yellow line. Left-side parking technique: Shift from reverse to first gear, turn on the left turn signal, and slowly move forward. Observe the left-side rearview mirror; when the left rear wheel exits the parking spot corner, quickly turn the steering wheel fully to the left. Straighten the steering wheel when the car's front is aligned, and stop when the lower edge of the left-side rearview mirror is 20cm from the yellow dashed line. Shift from first gear to reverse, and while reversing, watch the left-side rearview mirror. When the lower edge of the mirror aligns with the dashed line, quickly turn the steering wheel fully to the left. Observe the left-side rearview mirror; when the left side of the car is about 30cm from the parking spot corner, straighten the steering wheel. Watch the left rear wheel through the left-side rearview mirror; when the wheel is on the extension line of the parking spot, turn the steering wheel fully to the left again. Observe the right-side rearview mirror; when you see the parking spot corner, straighten the steering wheel and slowly enter the spot. Stop when the lower edge of the left-side rearview mirror aligns with the front yellow line.
