How many points will be deducted if the car head does not enter during reverse parking?
4 Answers
100 points will be deducted, which means immediate disqualification. Here are some additional details: 1. Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is referred to as the field driving skill test. 2. Driver's license test items: The test items for small vehicles C1 and C2 include five mandatory tests: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curves). 3. Deduction standards for reverse parking: 100 points will be deducted for not following the prescribed route or sequence; 100 points will be deducted if the vehicle body crosses the line; 100 points will be deducted if the car does not enter the parking space during reverse parking; and 100 points will be deducted for stopping midway.
I've been driving for over a decade and often interact with driving instructors. In the case where the car's front doesn't fully enter during reverse parking, it's an automatic 100-point deduction in the Subject 2 test, resulting in failure. The rules clearly require the entire vehicle to be completely within the parking space; even a slight protrusion of the front counts as a violation. This usually happens because beginners haven't fully grasped the vehicle's dimensions or misjudged the position, such as steering too early in reverse or choosing inaccurate reference points. During practice, it's best to first simulate with marked lines in an open area or have an experienced person guide you from the passenger seat, adjusting your position by frequently checking the rearview mirror and back window. Although the test is strict, practicing several times can help avoid such mistakes—it's an important safety habit.
As a newly licensed driver, I really suffered during the reverse parking test - failing instantly with a 100-point deduction when the front of the car didn't fully enter the space, which felt utterly unfair. I still remember the examiner immediately calling it a failure because the test standard requires the entire vehicle body to be inside, with the front protruding counting as a major error. The reason was simple: I relied too much on memorized reference points without accounting for the actual vehicle dynamics. Only through repeated practice did I learn to flexibly judge distances. My advice to new learners: simulate real-road conditions more and stay composed during tests - minor mistakes can determine your entire outcome.
From a driving safety perspective, not fully entering the parking space during reverse parking isn't just about losing points in the test - such parking in real life can easily lead to collisions with obstacles causing scratches. According to driving test regulations, this mistake triggers the immediate 100-point deduction clause resulting in failure, ensuring trainees master precise vehicle control. Remember to align with reference lines during practice and adjust direction slowly while reversing to avoid the front of the car crossing boundaries.
