Deduction Criteria for Parallel Parking
2 Answers
Body of the vehicle crossing the line: 100 points deduction. Wheels touching or pressing the lane boundary line while moving: 10 points deduction. Failing to park within the designated area: 100 points deduction. Not turning on the left turn signal when starting: 10 points deduction. Stopping midway: 100 points deduction. Below is relevant information about parallel parking: 1. Concept: Parallel parking is a part of the driving test (Subject 2). It is increasingly common in urban areas, especially when parking spaces in formal parking lots are in short supply. Many places have designated parking spaces along the sides of streets, known as "parallel parking spaces." 2. Parking technique: It is crucial that the position of the car before moving into the space is close to the left line of the parking space. Adjust both side mirrors—the left mirror should be lowered enough to see the left rear wheel, and the right mirror should allow visibility of the car body.
A few days ago when I took my driving test, the parallel parking in Subject 2 really made me nervous. Touching the boundary line with the wheels directly deducts 5 to 10 points. If the car body exceeds the marking line or is too far from the boundary, the examiner will mercilessly deduct 20 points or even fail you. Moving too slowly isn't allowed either - there's usually a 30-second time limit, with 5 points deducted for every second over. Even worse, stalling the engine or having gear shift issues will cost another 5 points. With strict monitoring throughout the test, these minor mistakes can easily add up to failure. I think these rules are quite fair - they force you to practice attentively, get familiar with the vehicle's dimensions and handling, so you won't hit curbs or scrape other cars when actually driving. Safety comes first, avoiding trouble on the road. Practicing more simulations beforehand means fewer point deductions during the test.
