How many points are deducted for crossing the line in parallel parking?
2 Answers
Crossing the line in parallel parking deducts 10 points. Below is a detailed introduction: 1. Evaluation criteria: (1) After the vehicle stops in the parking space, if the body crosses the line, it is considered a failure. (2) Stopping midway is considered a failure. (3) During movement, if the tires touch or cross the lane boundary line, 10 points are deducted. 2. Precautions for parallel parking: (1) When performing parallel parking, be sure to slow down, stabilize the clutch, and maintain a steady speed. (2) Adjust the seat and rearview mirror angles before the test. At the start of parallel parking, find the correct stopping point to prepare for the next step of reversing. When reversing, turn or straighten the steering wheel promptly upon reaching the designated point. (3) Before exiting the parking space, turn on the left turn signal and turn it off after exiting.
During my driving test for the parallel parking, I accidentally touched the line a bit, and the examiner immediately deducted 10 points, almost causing me to fail. Looking back now, the test standards are quite strict—deducting points for touching the line is meant to ensure more precise parking. During practice, I recommend paying more attention to the rearview mirror and the distance between the car body and the line, not just focusing on speed. In real driving, touching the line not only results in penalties but also increases the risk of scraping nearby cars or pedestrians, creating safety hazards. The test simulates this scenario to cultivate safety awareness. Remember to move the car slowly, find the right reference points, and you can avoid such small mistakes. A few more practice sessions, and you'll get the hang of it.
