How to Determine If the Vehicle Exceeds the Line in Subject 2 of the Driving Test?
2 Answers
After getting into the car, adjust the seat, fasten the seatbelt, and set the rearview mirror to a suitable position to observe. Pay attention to the rear tires of the vehicle. If the rear tires completely cover the boundary line in the rearview mirror, it indicates that the vehicle has exceeded the line.
When I was learning to drive and taking the Subject 2 test, I personally experienced a situation where the car body was judged to have crossed the line. During the test, as long as the wheels touched the painted lines or boundary lines on the ground, the system would automatically sense and sound an alarm, and the examiner would immediately stop the test. That time, I was too hasty in reversing into the garage, turned the steering wheel too early, and the rear wheels crossed the line, resulting in a failure. During practice, the instructor emphasized controlling the speed to be slower, as a slower speed allows more time to adjust the direction. Also, it's important to use reference points to align properly, such as turning the steering wheel when the garage corner point reaches the shoulder or aligning the edge of the parking space line in the rearview mirror. Other items in Subject 2, like starting on a slope, are also prone to deductions for crossing lines, mainly due to inaccurate position judgment or nervousness causing late steering. More practice in the driving area helped me pass the second attempt. Controlling the wheel position is crucial for safe driving in the future, as it helps avoid scratches or accidents on actual roads. Remember, patience and diligent practice are key—don’t be discouraged by the strict test rules.
