How many points are deducted for the rear of the car sweeping the line during parallel parking?
2 Answers
Parallel parking with the rear of the car sweeping the line deducts 100 points. Here is the relevant introduction about parallel parking: Test requirements: The test requirement for parallel parking is that the driver must park the vehicle in the right parking space without the wheels touching the lane boundary lines or the parking space boundary lines. Subject 2 assessment content and requirements: The five assessment items are reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving on a curved road. Subject 2 requires 26 class hours, including 2 class hours of theoretical knowledge, so in reality, it is 24 class hours.
I remember when I was practicing driving, I was always afraid of the rear of the car sweeping the line during parallel parking. It wasn't until I asked the instructor that I learned sweeping the line with the rear of the car would deduct 10 points in the driving test. During that mock test, I lost points because I didn't accurately check the rearview mirror while reversing, and the rear of the car lightly touched the line, which significantly reduced my total score. Actually, in Subject 2, the full score is 100 points, and many minor mistakes can lead to deductions, with crossing or sweeping the line starting at 10 points. Accumulating too many deductions could result in failing the test. Now, when I drive myself, I'm extra careful. Before parking, I check the surroundings, control the speed to be slower, and use small tricks like checking the position of the parking line to confirm the distance. Practicing a few more times can help form muscle memory, avoiding troubles both in tests and real-life situations, after all, safe driving starts with the basics.
