How many points are deducted for the car head sweeping the line in the right-angle turn of Subject 2?

Sweeping the line means the car body crosses the line. In the Subject 2 test, crossing the line with the car body results in a deduction of 100 points, and the test is considered failed. In addition to the car body crossing the line, other actions that result in a 100-point deduction include failing to fully enter the parking space during reverse parking, stopping midway, not following the prescribed route or sequence, and exceeding the allotted time. The full score for Subject 2 is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. The test is considered passed under the following conditions: ① For applicants of large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required; ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required. If the Subject 2 test is failed on the first attempt, a make-up test can be taken on the spot. If the applicant does not take the make-up test or fails it again, the test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of test appointments for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills tests must not exceed five. If the fifth test appointment still results in failure, the scores of other previously passed subjects will be invalidated.
During the driving test for Subject 2, I've seen many cases involving right-angle turns where the car's front end crossing the line results in an immediate 100-point deduction, leading to failure. I've taught many beginners who hastily turn without watching the line, causing their front wheels to press on it and waste their test attempt. The total score for Subject 2 is 100, and you need at least 80 to pass—a single small mistake can ruin everything. My advice is to drive slowly, reduce speed before the corner, glance at the rearview mirror, and use the mirror as a reference point to steer, avoiding rushed wheel movements. During practice, focus on aligning with the markings accurately—safety comes first, as crossing lines on the road can lead to accidents. Similar point deductions apply to reverse parking, where strict rules serve a valid purpose.
