How many points are deducted for stopping midway during parallel parking?
1 Answers
Stopping midway during parallel parking results in a deduction of 100 points. Parallel parking penalty rules: After the vehicle stops in the parking space, if the body crosses the line, it is disqualified; stopping midway is disqualified; if the tires touch or press the lane boundary line while moving, 10 points are deducted; failing to turn on the left turn signal when starting, 10 points are deducted; failing to turn on the right turn signal when reversing, 10 points are deducted; not parking within the garage space results in disqualification. Related requirements: The operational requirement for parallel parking is to stop the car in front of the garage space, then reverse into the space in one go without stopping midway, and the wheels must not touch or press the lane boundary lines or the parking space lines; compared to reverse parking and slope parking and starting, it is relatively simpler, and as long as the reference points are aligned correctly, there generally won't be major issues. Common reasons for point deductions: The speed is too slow. Although the driving test for Subject 2 repeatedly emphasizes going slow, many trainees, fearing nervousness and missing reference points, reduce the speed excessively, leading to stalling; unfamiliarity with the clutch. Not testing the clutch's tightness before driving leads to discomfort during the test; incorrect seat adjustment. If the seat is not adjusted accurately, the candidate's sitting posture and field of vision will be affected, making it easy to misalign reference points, resulting in pressing the lines; right turn signal. Previously, only the left turn signal was required when starting to park, but after the new regulations, many people forget to turn on the right turn signal before reversing, leading to point deductions.
