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

[VanFrank]

During the reverse parking test, touching the line with the car body results in a deduction of 100 points. The relevant introduction to the driving test is as follows: Subject 1: Road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test. The structure and basic question types of the test question bank are formulated by the Ministry of Public Security, and provincial public security traffic management departments establish the test question bank for their respective provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) based on local conditions. Subject 2: Field driving skills test. The test items include reverse parking, slope fixed-point parking and starting, right-angle turning, curve driving, and parallel parking. In cities like Shanghai, Subject 2 consists of nine mandatory test items: reverse parking, right-angle turning, parallel parking, tunnel driving, parking to take a card, curve driving, narrow road U-turn, emergency stop, and slope fixed-point parking and starting. Subject 3: Road driving skills test. The basic test items include preparation before starting (walking around the car counterclockwise, fastening the seat belt, turning on the left turn signal, shifting gears, releasing the handbrake, and honking the horn), starting, straight-line driving, changing lanes, passing through intersections, parking by the roadside, passing through pedestrian crossings, passing through school zones, passing through bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and night driving. Subject 4: Safe and civilized driving knowledge. The test items cover safe and civilized driving-related knowledge.

Having been a driving instructor for many years, I can confidently say that the car body sweeping the line during reverse parking is definitely the most common reason for losing points in the Subject 2 driving test. Once the line is swept, it results in an immediate 100-point deduction and test failure. Sweeping the line means the car body touches the boundary line. Students usually make this mistake because they're going too fast or not adjusting the steering wheel properly. I recommend practicing repeatedly at the training ground, aligning the reference points, and reversing slowly. Don't get discouraged if you fail - everyone goes through this stage. Remember, mastering this skill makes daily parking much safer and reduces the risk of scratches and accidents. The key is to frequently check the rearview mirrors and maintain a relaxed mindset.

I just finished the driving test for Subject 2 and almost grazed the line. The instructor reminded me that touching the line would result in an immediate failure with a 100-point deduction. I was extremely nervous during the test, but luckily, I controlled my speed and avoided it. Looking back, I practiced dozens of times in the parking lot, always paying attention to the distance between the line and the car body. Classmates who failed due to touching the line had to pay hundreds for a retake, but safety is the priority when reversing. Don’t rush—practice a few more times, and you’ll master it.

In the driving test, if the car body crosses the line during reverse parking, it results in an immediate deduction of 100 points and a failure. Crossing the line indicates that the car body has exceeded the boundary, often due to misjudgment or operating too quickly. It is recommended to practice sufficiently before the test, familiarize yourself with reference points, and operate slowly with safety as the top priority. Failing the test is an opportunity to learn and improve. Building a solid foundation is highly beneficial for everyday driving.
