Does the rear of the car exceeding the line result in points deduction during parallel parking?
2 Answers
In Subject 2 (Parking Test), if the vehicle body exceeds the line after stopping during parallel parking, 100 points will be deducted. 1. Points Deduction Explanation: For the parallel parking test in Subject 2, if the vehicle body exceeds the line after stopping, this mainly refers to two types of errors: the right side of the vehicle body running over the line or the rear of the car exceeding the parking space. 2. Operation Requirements: The operation requirement for parallel parking is to stop the car in front of the parking space, then reverse into the space in one go without stopping midway. The wheels should not run over or touch the lane boundary lines or the parking space boundary lines. 3. Notes: In Subject 2, neither too fast nor too slow speeds are recommended. Too slow may cause the car to stop midway, while too fast may make it difficult to accurately judge the timing, affecting your ability to steer promptly. Additionally, when turning the steering wheel to the full lock position, pay attention to keeping the left foot steady on the clutch to prevent sudden changes in speed. Therefore, maintaining steady clutch control and managing the speed properly are essential for accurate reference point judgment.
When it comes to the rear of the car exceeding the line during parallel parking, points are indeed deducted in the driving test. Having driven for over a decade, I've seen many beginners make mistakes during the exam—once the car body crosses the marked line, about ten points are deducted on the spot. I remember when I was learning to drive, the instructor repeatedly emphasized the need for precise parking—use the rearview mirror more to check the wheel position when reversing, and steer steadily without rushing. If the tail does exceed the line, quickly make slight adjustments to bring it back on track. In real life, parking like this can easily lead to scraping a neighbor's car or blocking traffic, so the point deduction in the test is meant to instill good habits. Now, when teaching family members to practice driving, I always have them simulate parking by drawing lines in an empty space first, practicing controlling the distance of the rear wheels and getting familiar with the car's dimensions before taking the official test—it makes passing easier and reduces stress. Safety comes first, and after passing the test, driving feels much more assured.
