If the car head doesn't enter during reverse parking, 100 points will be deducted. Here are the relevant details about reverse parking: 1. Not following the prescribed route sequence: 100 points deducted. 2. Vehicle body crossing the line: 100 points deducted. 3. Failure to complete reverse parking: 100 points deducted. Reverse parking has been a mandatory test item for obtaining a small car driver's license since 2013. 4. Failing to have both front wheels cross the control line before reversing: 100 points deducted. Exceeding the 210-second time limit for the task results in 100 points deducted. Pausing for more than 2 seconds during the process deducts 5 points each time.
I've taught many students how to drive, and failing to fully enter the parking space with the front of the car during reverse parking will indeed result in point deductions. In the second subject of the driving test, this mistake typically costs 10 to 20 points, depending on the test center's rules; with a full score of 100 points, losing more than 20 points can easily lead to failure. I believe this is mainly due to incorrect car positioning or turning the steering wheel too early during reversing, causing the front of the car not to fully cross the line. During practice, I always instruct students to adjust their mirrors properly and pay attention to the reference lines on the ground. It's also important to be mindful of safety when driving normally; if the front of the car doesn't enter the space during reverse parking, it can easily hit nearby obstacles. Spending more time practicing reversing techniques, such as adjusting direction slowly and not rushing, can help avoid such basic mistakes. It's best to simulate the test a few times before the actual exam—practice makes perfect, and driving skills improve gradually over time.
