How to deduct points for touching the line in the right-angle turn of Subject 2?
2 Answers
Touching the line means the vehicle body crosses the line. In the Subject 2 driving test, if the vehicle body crosses the line, 100 points will be deducted, and the test will be deemed as failed. In addition to the vehicle body crossing the line, other actions that will result in a 100-point deduction include failing to park properly in reverse parking, stopping midway, not following the prescribed route or sequence, and exceeding the specified time limit. The full score for Subject 2 is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failure, deduction of 20 points, 10 points, or 5 points. The test is considered passed if the following conditions are met: ① For applicants applying for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, or large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required; ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required. If the Subject 2 test is failed, the applicant can retake the test once on the spot. If the applicant does not take the retest or fails the retest, the test will be terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of test appointments for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills tests cannot exceed five times. If the fifth test appointment still results in a failure, the passing scores of other subjects will be invalidated.
In the Subject 2 driving test, touching the line during a right-angle turn is a very common point deduction. During my first driving practice, the instructor repeatedly warned that touching the line could directly lead to failing the test. The specific rule is that if the wheel touches the lane edge line or turn marking line, it usually results in a deduction of 10 to 20 points, depending on the test center's standards; if the line is severely crossed or the mistake is repeated, it directly results in a 100-point deduction and failure. I remember making this mistake several times, all because I turned the steering wheel too sharply or didn't check the mirrors carefully. To avoid this, the key is to practice more to find reference points, such as starting to turn when the front of the car aligns with a fixed position, and keeping the speed slow, around 5 km/h. The pressure during the test can lead to mistakes, so it's important to simulate real scenarios frequently to enhance spatial awareness. Other tasks in Subject 2, like hill starts and parking, also test attention to detail, but the right-angle turn focuses on precise control.
