How many points are deducted for brushing the line in the reverse parking test of Subject 2?

Brushing the line with the car body means the car body is out of line, which results in a deduction of 100 points, making the test unsuccessful. Other actions that also deduct 100 points include the car body crossing the line, failing to enter the parking space, stopping midway, not following the prescribed route, driving out of sequence, or exceeding the specified time. The full score for both subjects is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failure, deduction of 20 points, deduction of 10 points, and deduction of 5 points. The rules for the Subject 2 driving test for applying for a motor vehicle driver's license state that any mid-test stopping, rolling back, or not following voice prompts will result in failure. Additionally, the wheels or car body pressing the line will also lead to test failure. Many students encounter the issue of pressing the line during Subject 2 learning, and the most common mistake leading to failure is "pressing the line." The main reason for wheels pressing the line is that students fail to grasp the correct timing for steering. Besides missing the right moment to steer, another reason could be the steering speed not keeping up with the car's speed. Subject 2 deduction standards: Not wearing a seatbelt: deduct 100 points. Starting the engine without the gear in neutral: deduct 100 points. Not using the turn signal (including starting, changing lanes, overtaking, turning, or parking by the roadside); turning signal not used for more than three seconds (note this is easily overlooked!); forgetting to turn off the turn signal or using it incorrectly: deduct 10 points. Stalling once: deduct 10 points. Reverse parking: Not following the prescribed route sequence: deduct 100 points. Car body out of line: deduct 100 points. Failing to enter the parking space: deduct 100 points. Before reversing, if both front wheels do not pass the control line: deduct 100 points. Exceeding the 210-second time limit: deduct 100 points. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: deduct 5 points each time. Slope parking and starting: After the car stops, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line and exceeds 50 cm front or back: deduct 100 points. After the car stops, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line but does not exceed 50 cm front or back: deduct 10 points. After stopping, if the starting time exceeds 30 seconds: deduct 100 points. Wheels pressing the road edge line while driving: deduct 100 points. Rolling back more than 30 cm when starting: deduct 100 points. After stopping, if the car body is more than 50 cm from the road edge line: deduct 100 points. After parking, not tightening the parking brake: deduct 10 points each time. After stopping, if the car body is more than 30 cm but not more than 50 cm from the road edge line: deduct 10 points each time. Rolling back more than 10 cm but less than 30 cm when starting: deduct 5 points each time. Parallel parking: After the car enters the parking space, if the car body is out of line: deduct 100 points. Not using or incorrectly using the turn signal when entering the parking space: deduct 10 points. Exceeding the 90-second time limit: deduct 100 points. Car body touching the parking space edge line while driving: deduct 10 points each time. Wheels pressing the lane edge line while driving: deduct 10 points each time. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: deduct 5 points each time. Right-angle turn: Wheels pressing the road edge line: deduct 100 points. Not using or incorrectly using the turn signal during the turn, or not turning off the turn signal after the turn: deduct 10 points. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: deduct 5 points each time. Curve driving: Wheels pressing the road edge line: deduct 100 points. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: deduct 100 points. Driving without the gear in second or above: deduct 5 points.
I just finished my Subject 2 driving test a few days ago, and hitting the line during reverse parking was such a trap—it deducts 100 points immediately and fails the whole exam, which was heartbreaking. 'Hitting the line' means the wheels touch the boundary line, and the exam system detects it, resulting in an instant failure. During practice, my instructor kept reminding me not to rush, to keep my eyes on the rearview mirror, and to steer slowly to avoid tilting the car body. It wasn’t until I failed once that I mastered the technique—finding a fixed reference point and straightening the wheels in time when the car body aligns with the line. Spend extra time practicing on the simulator at the driving school to familiarize yourself with the test site’s dimensions. Don’t just focus on speed; prioritize steady control. After all, Subject 2 is fundamental, and the strict penalty for hitting the line is for safety. Failing with a 100-point deduction means retaking the test, which is both troublesome and costly. Better buckle down and practice more!
As someone who frequently accompanies trainees during driving practice, touching the line while reversing into the parking space will definitely result in a 100-point deduction, meaning the test is over immediately. Touching the line refers to the wheels making contact with the line, which the system can detect instantly. This step is crucial in the field test, and many trainees fail their first attempt here due to going too fast or lack of focus. I recommend stopping the car steadily first, then checking the rearview mirrors—avoid relying on sharp steering wheel turns and make slight adjustments instead. Practice simulating real driving scenarios often, measure the car's length to get a feel for it, and avoid touching the lines. Also, stay relaxed during the test; the penalty for touching the line tests your control skills—mastering the basics makes other test items easier to pass. Don’t delay; go practice right away.
