How many points are deducted for brushing the line during a right-angle turn?
2 Answers
In Subject 2, brushing the line with the vehicle body does not result in point deduction—note that this refers to brushing the line, not crossing it. Crossing the line will definitely deduct 100 points. During right-angle turns and curve driving, brushing the line is allowed as long as the wheels do not press against the road edge line. When taking the right-angle turn test, try to avoid brushing the line with the front of the car, as this can easily lead to failing. Below is an extended explanation: 1. Introduction to Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It refers to the field driving skill test, which includes five mandatory items: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving. 2. Evaluation criteria for reverse parking in Subject 2: Failing to follow the prescribed route or sequence results in disqualification; touching or scraping the poles results in disqualification; the vehicle body crossing the line results in disqualification; failing to complete the parking maneuver results in disqualification. The full score for the C1 driver's license Subject 2 test is 100 points, with 80 points or above considered a pass.
Back when I was taking my driver's license test, the 90-degree turn was indeed a common point deduction area. 'Sweeping the line' refers to when the wheels press against or graze that solid line. Based on my experience with Subject 2 of the test, sweeping the line during the 90-degree turn typically results in a 10-point deduction. Don't underestimate this - Subject 2 has a total score of 100, and you need 80 to pass. During my practice sessions, my instructor repeatedly emphasized slowing down before entering the turn, aligning properly, and turning the steering wheel gently without sudden movements. Going too fast or turning the wheel too late makes it easy to cross the line. The pressure during the test was intense - I saw a guy fail immediately after sweeping the line twice. Some practice techniques help, like checking mirrors in advance and keeping speed below 15km/h. If you do lose points, don't panic - just practice more to get familiar with the car's handling. Overall, point deductions on 90-degree turns are common mistakes, but with proper practice you can pass smoothly.
