How many points are deducted for touching the left dashed line during parallel parking?

Deduct 10 points for touching the left dashed line during parallel parking. Here are relevant details: 1. Parallel parking penalty criteria: Driving with tires touching the parking space or lane lines deducts 20 points; After parking, if the vehicle body exceeds the parking space lines, deduct 20 points; Failing to align the vehicle properly after parking deducts 5 points; Inability to park within one forward and one reverse movement deducts 20 points; Contacting the marker poles deducts 20 points. 2. Parallel parking precautions: Adjust both side mirrors - lower the left mirror to see the left rear wheel, and adjust the right mirror to see the vehicle body. Also, adjust the interior rearview mirror to see the center of the rear windshield when looking up. Additionally, pay attention to turn signal usage, as failure to use them as required will also result in point deductions.

During my practice for the driving test subject two, the instructor mentioned that running over the left dashed line during parallel parking does incur a penalty, typically a deduction of 10 points. The total score for the test is 100 points, and running over the line can directly affect the passing score of 80 points. Besides running over the line, penalties may also be incurred for exceeding the time limit while parking or if the vehicle body crosses the line. It's recommended to pay more attention to the rearview mirrors and reference points during practice, and avoid turning the steering wheel too sharply to reduce the risk of running over the line. I've seen some students panic after being penalized for running over the line due to nervousness, leading to mistakes in other sections and failing the test. Therefore, it's important to develop a sense of spatial awareness during regular practice.

After driving for several years and reflecting on the driving test, deducting 10 points for crossing the line might seem trivial, but it actually concerns safety. The deduction rule in the test is set to remind drivers not to cross lines in real driving, otherwise, parking by the roadside in the city could easily lead to vehicle scratches or minor accidents. Crossing the dashed line indicates a deviation in parking judgment, requiring more practice in steering control. I always advise beginners to start with low-speed practice and gradually improve accuracy. Developing good habits can reduce the risk of accidents.

Deduct 10 points for pressing the left dotted line during parallel parking? That's correct, it's the exam rule. To avoid this, I'm used to turning the steering wheel slightly less while using the rearview mirror to accurately gauge the gap between the car and the line. Don't be nervous, practice a few times and you'll get the hang of it.
