2 Answers
Reverse parking with the car body touching the line results in a deduction of 100 points. Introduction to reverse parking: Reverse parking is a mandatory test item for obtaining a small car driver's license (Subject 2) after 2013. It assesses the driver's ability to maneuver the vehicle in a confined space. Reverse parking is a key evaluation point in the driver's test, requiring the examinee to correctly reverse the vehicle into the garage from both sides while in motion. Evaluation criteria for reverse parking: Not following the designated route: Deduction of 100 points and failure for not adhering to the specified route or sequence. Car body crossing the line: Deduction of 100 points and failure if the car body crosses the line, fails to enter the parking space, or stops midway. Exceeding 210 seconds: Deduction of 100 points and failure if the reverse parking is not completed within 210 seconds.
Hitting the line while reversing into the parking space is absolutely a fatal mistake in the driving test. I've seen many candidates fail directly because of this. According to the standard examination rules, hitting the line once deducts 100 points, which is equivalent to failing the test. Why is the penalty so severe? Because in reality, hitting the line means an increased safety risk, making it easy to scrape adjacent vehicles or cross the line. The examiner emphasizes cautious driving through this rule. During the test, any part of the vehicle touching the parking space line is considered a violation, including hitting the side line during reversing. I recommend that trainees practice frequently checking the parking space with the rearview mirror during training, maintaining a slow and steady speed to avoid such tragedies. In terms of scoring details, the total score is 100 points. Other minor mistakes like stalling may only deduct 10 points, but hitting the line results in an unforgiving full deduction.
