How many points are deducted for the car body sweeping the line during reverse parking?

[LaNora]

Sweeping 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 lead to a 100-point deduction include the car body crossing the line, failing to park in the designated area, stopping midway, not following the prescribed route or sequence, and exceeding the allotted time. The total 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 second subject of the motor vehicle driver's license test state that stopping midway, rolling back, or not following the voice prompts during the test will result in failure. Additionally, the wheels or car body touching the line will also lead to test failure. Many learners encounter issues with touching the line during the second subject, and "touching the line" is the most common mistake leading to failure. The main reason for the wheels touching the line is that learners fail to master 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. The deduction criteria for the second subject: 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 pulling over); turning on the turn signal for less than three seconds (this is often 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 park in the designated area: Deduct 100 points. Before reversing, not ensuring both front wheels 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 stopping, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line and exceeds 50 cm forward or backward: Deduct 100 points. After stopping, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line but does not exceed 50 cm forward or backward: Deduct 10 points. After stopping, if the starting time exceeds 30 seconds: Deduct 100 points. Wheels touching the road edge 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 away from the road edge: Deduct 100 points. Not pulling the parking brake tightly after stopping: Deduct 10 points each time. After stopping, if the car body is more than 30 cm but less than 50 cm away from the road edge: 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 parking, if the car body is out of line: Deduct 100 points. Not using or incorrectly using the turn signal when parking: Deduct 10 points. Exceeding the 90-second time limit: Deduct 100 points. Touching the parking space edge with the car body while driving: Deduct 10 points each time. Wheels touching the lane edge while driving: Deduct 10 points each time. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: Deduct 5 points each time. Right-angle turn: Wheels touching the road edge: Deduct 100 points. Not using or incorrectly using the turn signal when turning, or not turning off the turn signal after turning: Deduct 10 points. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: Deduct 5 points each time. Curve driving: Wheels touching the road edge: Deduct 100 points. Stopping for more than 2 seconds midway: Deduct 100 points. Driving without the gear in second or higher: Deduct 5 points.

During reverse parking, the penalty for the car body touching the line is indeed quite strict. Like the last time I took the Subject 2 test, I failed the entire exam with a 100-point deduction just because the car edge accidentally brushed against the corner line of the parking space. Actually, this kind of mistake is mainly due to beginners being nervous and unable to control the speed or steering wheel well, or the rearview mirror not being adjusted properly, leading to not seeing the line. The exam rules are clear: any part of the car body touching the parking space line counts as touching the line and results in a zero score. After the fact, I reflected that more practice is needed to develop a feel for the car, and it's important to have a friend help check the parking space and reverse slowly. The same goes for daily driving—don't underestimate these small details, as they can reduce the risk of scratches.
