How many points are deducted for the front of the car sweeping the line during curve driving?
3 Answers
No points are deducted for the front of the car sweeping the line during curve driving. Below are the relevant details about the S-curve test: Regulations: Original regulations: If any wheel presses the edge line, 20 points are deducted; crossing the line results in a 100-point deduction. New regulations: If a wheel runs over the road edge line, it is considered a failure; stopping midway is also a failure; driving without the gear in second or higher results in a 5-point deduction. It can be seen that pressing the road edge line deducts 20 points and directly results in a failure. Operation techniques: Before entering the left curve, the vehicle should drive close to the right side, keeping the front corner of the car pressing against the right edge line. When preparing to switch to the right curve, straighten the direction and use the right front corner of the car to press against the left edge line. After the car safely exits the curve, straighten the direction again. During the test, pay attention to the new regulations; stopping midway is not allowed, otherwise the test will be considered a failure.
I've been driving for over twenty years and am very familiar with the driving test rules. In Subject 2 of the driving test, sweeping the line with the front of the car during curve driving usually deducts 10 points. After deducting 10 points from the total score of 100, you can still pass if there are no other major mistakes. This is because sweeping the line with the front of the car indicates imprecise steering control, which can easily lead to scratches or accidents on real roads. Instructors often say that if the position of the front of the car is accurate, the wheels won't cross the line. Remember to slow down during the test, keep your eyes on the reference point of the curve, and avoid making sudden adjustments to the steering wheel. You should also develop this habit in daily driving to avoid drifting on highway curves—safety first. With more practice on curve driving, you can reduce such mistakes.
I just passed my driving test a few days ago and am still in the adaptation phase. The curve driving where the front of the car sweeps the line makes me particularly nervous. In the last test, I was deducted 10 points for sweeping the line and almost failed. The examiner clearly explained the rules: 10 points deducted, and if you continuously sweep the line or press the line severely, you will be directly judged as a failure. As a novice, I have summarized that speed control is the most critical; going slow covers a multitude of sins. Don’t twist the steering wheel randomly, and keep a close eye on the distance between the front of the car and the line. During practice, repeatedly drive through S-curves or right-angle turns, and find the right moment to steer to avoid point deductions. Now, every time I drive through a curve, I remind myself not to be too aggressive.
