How Many Points Are Deducted for Rolling Back?
2 Answers
In the Subject 2 driving test, rolling back deducts 10 points. According to the "Content and Methods of Motor Vehicle Driver Tests," if the vehicle rolls back less than 30 cm during startup, 10 points are deducted. Details are as follows: Overview of Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and refers to the field driving skills test. For small vehicles (C1/C2), the test includes five mandatory items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves. Requirements for Subject 2: If a candidate fails the Subject 2 test for the first time, they are allowed one retake. If the candidate does not take the retake or fails the retake, the test session ends, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skills test permit, the number of times a candidate can reschedule the Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills tests must not exceed five.
Actually, there is no specific penalty point for rolling cars in traffic regulations, but the consequences are often covered by other rules. For example, if a car rolls downhill and hits the vehicle behind, it is considered a rear-end collision with full responsibility, usually resulting in a 3-point deduction and a 200-yuan fine. If a car rolls while reversing and hits something, it counts as illegal reversing with a 1-point deduction. The most common case I encounter during car repairs is beginners forgetting to pull the handbrake when parking, causing the car to roll on a flat surface and hit a wall—this kind of damage is not covered by insurance. If you really want to avoid penalty points, remember to use both gear and handbrake when parking on a slope, especially for older manual transmission cars. After gear wear, the gear might not hold properly, so it's best to place stones under the tires.
