How many points are deducted for the vehicle body brushing against the line during parallel parking?

[VonBeau]

In theory, brushing against the line with the vehicle body during Subject 2 (parking test) does not result in point deduction—note that this refers to brushing against the line, not crossing it. Crossing the line will definitely deduct 100 points. The specific evaluation criteria for Subject 2 only state that the vehicle body is not allowed to cross the line, with no mention of brushing against it. Generally, as long as the vehicle body does not cross the line, there should be no issue. However, the final judgment depends on the examination system, as the boundary lines are not very wide. Below is additional information: 1. Right-angle turns and curve driving: Brushing against the line is allowed during right-angle turns and curve driving, as long as the wheels do not run over the road edge line. 2. Teaching objectives: The teaching objectives of Subject 2 require students to master the basic driving operation essentials and possess fundamental vehicle control abilities; proficiently grasp the basic methods of driving in designated areas and on internal roads, and have the ability to reasonably use vehicle control components and correctly manage the vehicle's spatial position, accurately controlling the vehicle's position, speed, and route.

I just passed my driving test recently, and scraping the line during parallel parking is a common issue that deducts 10 points. On the day of the test, I was so nervous that my palms were sweaty. When reversing, I didn’t check the rearview mirror carefully, and the car body scraped the right-side yellow line. The computer immediately reminded me of the point deduction. Fortunately, my total score was still enough to barely pass. The instructor said this deduction is very common because beginners tend to turn the steering wheel too sharply and misalign the angle. To avoid scraping the line, practice by first aligning the car body properly, then reverse slowly while observing the distance between the line and the wheels. Try a few more times to get familiar with the feeling, and you won’t be afraid during the test. Losing 10 points isn’t a big deal, but don’t take it lightly—the test is out of 100 points, and failing occurs if you lose too many. Practicing in an open area regularly to gain experience is the most important.

As someone who often helps others practice driving, the standard rule is that brushing the line during parallel parking results in a 10-point deduction. In the Subject 2 driving test, 'brushing the line' refers to the car body lightly touching the side marking line, which is considered a violation and incurs a penalty. If the entire vehicle crosses the boundary, it may lead to an immediate failure. During practice, I emphasize accurately observing reference points, such as maintaining a certain gap between the line and the car in the rearview mirror. Beginners tend to rush and turn the steering wheel too early, resulting in brushing the line and losing 10 points. My advice is to operate slowly during the test, stay focused, and make adjustments. Remember the details of the rules—10 points can be recovered, so don’t let it affect your overall mindset. Regular mock exams during practice will help.

When my child was learning to drive, I asked the instructor, and they said that touching the line during parallel parking deducts 10 points. During the test, any contact with the boundary line results in a deduction, which is quite strict. From a safety perspective, touching the line indicates poor positioning control and increases the risk of collisions. It's advisable to pay attention to the distance from surrounding lines during practice, and to reverse slowly without panicking. Losing 10 points isn't too severe as long as the total score doesn't exceed the limit. With more practice, this can be avoided—getting familiar with the vehicle's dimensions is key.

I often discuss the driving test in car enthusiast groups, where it's confirmed that brushing the line during parallel parking deducts 10 points. In the Category 2 test items, line brushing is a common mistake, and losing 10 points isn't a big deal. Similarly, going out of bounds or running over the line also results in point deductions. From personal experience, taking a deep breath before the test and carefully judging distances using the rearview mirror and side window when parking helps. With dedicated practice, the issue of losing 10 points can be minimized. The test is based on a point system, so stay focused and avoid carelessness.

From what I understand, crossing the line during parallel parking results in a fixed penalty of 10 points. This is a common mistake during tests, often caused by beginners' unstable steering control. Don't panic after losing points; stay focused and perform the remaining actions well. Regular practice is key—slow down and adjust your position when the car gets close to the line to avoid crossing. Mastering this technique is simple, and losing 10 points can be easily avoided.
