Does the Body Touching the Line Count in Subject 2 Reverse Parking?
2 Answers
During the reverse parking test in Subject 2, if any part of the vehicle's body crosses the line, 100 points will be deducted, resulting in a failure. Introduction: Reverse parking has been a mandatory test item for obtaining a small car driver's license since 2013. It assesses the driver's ability to maneuver the vehicle within a confined space. Reverse parking is a key evaluation point in the driver's test, requiring the driver to correctly reverse the vehicle into the garage from both sides while in motion. Deduction Criteria: Not following the designated route or sequence results in an immediate 100-point deduction; the vehicle body crossing the line results in a 100-point deduction; failing to fully enter the garage results in a 100-point deduction; if both front wheels do not pass the control line before reversing, 100 points will be deducted; exceeding the 210-second time limit results in a 100-point deduction; stopping for more than 2 seconds during the test results in a 5-point deduction each time.
In the reverse parking test of Subject 2, having the vehicle body cross the line is absolutely considered a violation and failure. When I took my driving test, I was too nervous and drove too fast, causing the car to touch the side line of the parking space, which was immediately judged as a fail by the electronic system. My instructor told me this is a safety red line. Crossing the line indicates that the vehicle is not completely parked in the designated position, which could lead to scratches or accidents in real driving. It is recommended to familiarize yourself with the reference points of the test site during practice, frequently check the rearview mirrors to adjust the direction, and keep the speed slow. It's best to find an open space to simulate the test a few times to get the feel. More practice can reduce mistakes. The test is a crucial step in simulating real-life scenarios, so don't overlook these details and develop good habits.
