Reverse parking without completely parking the car will result in a deduction of 100 points. Deduction criteria for reverse parking: Not following the prescribed route or sequence during reverse parking will directly result in a deduction of 100 points; the car body crossing the line will result in a deduction of 100 points; failing to park in the designated spot will result in a deduction of 100 points; stopping midway will result in a deduction of 100 points. Types of reverse parking: There are three most common types of reverse parking. The first is the "non"-shaped reverse parking, commonly seen in large shopping malls. The second is the roadside "one"-shaped reverse parking, also known as parallel parking. The third is the less common diagonal reverse parking. Parallel parking and "non"-shaped reverse parking are mandatory test items in the second driving test.

I remember when teaching at the driving school, students must park the car in the designated position during the reverse parking test in Subject 2. If the car body crosses the line or the wheels touch the line, 100 points are deducted, resulting in immediate failure of the test. The standard is very strict—the car must not exceed the white lines at the front or back. The reasons for failure might be driving too fast or misalignment of reference points. It is recommended to practice more with the rearview mirror and make slow adjustments during regular training. Safe driving starts from the basics. Once a mistake is made, it’s an immediate failure, which is regrettable—don’t underestimate this small section. Simulating test scenarios more often to enhance car control makes it easier to pass.

When I was taking my driver's license test, I personally experienced failing the reverse parking because the car wasn't fully inside—the left rear wheel crossed the line, resulting in an immediate 100-point deduction and failure. At that moment, I was too nervous and forgot to check the rearview mirror, which I deeply regretted. The rules require the wheels to be centered within the parking space, otherwise, it's an automatic fail. For my retake, I slowed down and took it step by step, which helped me pass. Other maneuvers like parallel parking also deduct 100 points for crossing the line, posing a high risk. Friends learning to drive, remember to practice precise parking early to avoid similar mishaps.

A friend mentioned that during the driving test, if you don't fully reverse into the parking spot, you usually lose 100 points and fail directly because the car body crossing the line is a serious violation. The standard is that the wheels must not press against the lines, and the parking must be accurate. It's recommended to practice controlling the distance more often to avoid mistakes. Safety comes first during the test—don't drive impulsively; patience and gradual skill improvement are key.
