How many points are deducted if a motorcycle falls off the single-plank bridge?

[RyanLee]

In the single-plank bridge test of the motorcycle driving license subject 2, if the examinee has already ridden onto the bridge surface and one wheel falls off during the ride, 10 points will be deducted each time. Below is the relevant introduction to the single-plank bridge test: Operation requirements: The motor vehicle driver must correctly manipulate the steering according to the specified driving direction, smoothly and steadily drive the front and rear wheels of the motorcycle (left and right sides) in sequence over bridges A and B. For three-wheeled motorcycles, the left and right rear wheels must smoothly and steadily drive over bridges A and B in sequence. Key points: The key to smoothly and successfully passing the single-plank bridge lies in aligning the right (left) front wheel with the respective bridge surface before getting on the bridge. After getting on the bridge, hold the steering handle steadily. If deviation is detected, promptly correct the direction, but with minimal steering adjustments. When the view enters a blind spot and the bridge surface is no longer visible, use the extension line of the bridge surface as a reference to keep the vehicle moving straight along the extension line. Additionally, use a low gear for slow and steady movement onto the bridge. Do not use brakes, change gears, or stop midway. Do not extend your head to look around.

Last time I took the motorcycle license test, I lost 10 points immediately for falling off the single-plank bridge. The passing score for that test was only 80, and I almost failed because of this small mistake. During practice, I always neglected balance control, and when I got nervous during the test, I veered off. The instructor had warned me—the single-plank bridge test requires stable passage, and falling off indicates poor control, with a 10-point deduction being common. He advised more simulated practice, making slight directional adjustments before ascending the bridge, keeping eyes level and looking ahead instead of down, maintaining low and steady speed, and aligning the front wheel with the bridge surface. The total test score is 100 points—minor mistakes with small deductions can be recovered, but falling off the bridge is a major penalty, so don’t let it affect your mindset. Practicing in an open area regularly would help a lot.

Falling off the single-plank bridge usually deducts 10 points, a rule I've known since driving school—don't underestimate it. The motorcycle test has a total score of 100, with 80 needed to pass. Losing 10 points for falling off is equivalent to sacrificing a big chunk. Why such a heavy penalty? Because the single-plank bridge tests balance and stability; falling indicates poor control, which can easily lead to accidents. The practice method is to maintain consistent speed, avoid sharp turns, and lean your body's center of gravity forward for stability. Other point deductions during the test include crossing the line (10 points) and stalling (10 points), which combined can easily lead to failure. Master the skills early—don't be as flustered as I was during my first attempt. Safe driving starts with the details.

Falling off the single-plank bridge deducts 10 points, which is quite standard in the motorcycle test. With a total score of only 100 points, every mistake counts, and falling off the bridge is considered a major error because it shows poor control. I've seen many people fail because of this. During practice, try it multiple times, keep the throttle smooth and not too heavy. The test rule is that you only score if you cross the bridge continuously without falling; any mistake results in a deduction. Other items like hill starts or slalom also have their own point deductions, and failing to reach 80 points in total means a retake. Don't worry, more practice will help you stabilize; remember, slow speed is the key.
