Does crossing the line in Subject 2 mean failure?

[HadleyFitz]

Crossing the line in Subject 2 does not necessarily result in failure. It mainly depends on the specific test item. For example, in the hill start and stop project of Subject 2, running over the solid edge line of the road will lead to immediate disqualification, and the same applies to the curve driving test. However, crossing dashed lines is allowed. Running over solid lines outside the test area will not incur penalties, such as stopping and waiting outside the test area when someone is taking the test ahead. Below is additional information: 1. Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and refers to the field driving skill test. For small vehicles C1 and C2, the test items include five mandatory components: reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start and stop, right-angle turn, and curve driving. 2. Notes: If you fail the Subject 2 test, you can retake it once. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the current test session will be terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of scheduled tests for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills must not exceed five. If the fifth scheduled test is still failed, the results of other previously passed subjects will be invalidated.

During my driving test, I ran over the line and failed immediately. In the Subject 2 test, crossing the line is a major taboo, as the examiner strictly monitors every move because it indicates vehicle trajectory deviation and potential safety hazards. When I was reversing into the parking space, my rear wheel touched the edge line, and I instantly heard the system announce "fail." I felt extremely frustrated. Subject 2 tests basic driving skills, and crossing the line often reflects imprecise control or nervousness. Therefore, during practice, pay more attention to reference points, such as the markings on the ground and the position of the rearview mirrors. Developing good habits can help avoid mistakes. Don’t lose heart—I later practiced more, familiarized myself with the test site layout, and passed easily on my second attempt. Remember, safe driving starts with small details.

As a friend who has been driving for years, let me tell you that crossing the line in the Subject 2 driving test has a very high failure rate. The examiners design these lines specifically to test operational accuracy—if you touch the solid line, the system automatically alarms, and your score is immediately invalidated. I've seen many people make mistakes during hill starts or right-angle turns, mainly due to unfamiliarity with the car's feel or turning the steering wheel too early out of nervousness. My advice is to practice steering control more and maintain a steady speed. Get plenty of rest before the test; a calm mindset ensures normal performance. Don’t fear failure—it’s part of the learning process. Carefully review your mistakes, and you’ll find it easier to pass next time.

I understand that crossing the line is a critical point in the driving test. In the subject two test items such as parallel parking or the S-curve, crossing the line is highly likely to result in failure due to strict rules ensuring safety. During practice, I focus on training my visual estimation skills and adjusting the seat and rearview mirror height to improve visibility. If I feel nervous during the test, I take deep breaths and concentrate on each step. If I cross the line, I don't get discouraged but continue to focus on completing the maneuver, learning from the experience and practicing more mock tests.
