During parallel parking, if the vehicle body touches the line, 100 points will be deducted. The requirements for the parallel parking test in Subject 2 are: the driver must park the vehicle in the right parking space without the wheels touching the lane boundary line or the parking space boundary line. The scoring standards for the test are as follows: failing to turn on the left turn signal when starting: deduct 10 points. Wheels touching the boundary line while driving: deduct 10 points. Stopping midway: deduct 100 points. Vehicle body crossing the line after parking: deduct 100 points. Failing to park within the space: deduct 100 points.

In the driving test, scraping the line during parallel parking will deduct 10 points, with a passing score of 80 out of 100. I've seen many students get nervous during the exam, unable to clearly see the position in the rearview mirror, and lightly scrape the line with the car body—such a single mistake costs them 10 points. During practice, it's essential to simulate the exam environment more often and have a friend remind you of the right moment to steer. Actually, the key to reverse parking is to go slow and align the steering wheel promptly with the car's speed. Every detail in Subject 2 is crucial; if two minor mistakes accumulate, you might fail. When practicing at the training ground, it's advisable to use chalk lines as reference points to gauge the distance between your car's rear and the corner of the parking space, building muscle memory to stay calm during the exam.

In Subject 2, the parallel parking test, brushing against the line once deducts 10 points. If you score 80 points, you can still pass, but going out of the line means an immediate failure. During my test, the instructor repeatedly emphasized three key points: First, maintain an upright sitting posture and adjust the rearview mirrors to clearly see the position of the rear wheels. Second, turn the steering wheel back immediately when the corner of the parking space appears in the left rearview mirror. Third, control the reversing speed to a crawling pace. Some students panicked after being penalized for brushing the line, resulting in turning the steering wheel the wrong way and hitting the curb. It's recommended to have the instructor focus on this part during practice, noting every minor deviation in each operation—like how the car body shifts if you turn the wheel half a second early. Repeating this dozens of times forms a muscle memory, making it easier to pass the test naturally and calmly.

In the driving test, touching the side line of the parking space during parallel parking deducts 10 points each time. I remember the instructor taught this during practice: start reversing when the corner of the parking space disappears in the right rearview mirror, and straighten the wheels when the rear corner appears in the left mirror. I've noticed many beginners overlook adjusting the rearview mirror height, and sitting too low affects visibility. The test car and the practice car have different mirror angles, so it's advisable to bring a cushion during the mock test to maintain a fixed sitting posture. Body sweeping the line usually happens because the steering wheel is turned half a beat late. Practicing repeatedly with a water bottle as a reference is more effective. If you sweep the line during the test, don't be discouraged; you can still make up points by not stalling on the hill start.
