How to Judge the Front Corner of the Car in Subject 2?
2 Answers
Generally, when the distance between your vehicle and an obstacle is 20 centimeters, the lowest point of the obstacle visible in your line of sight is at a height of 80 centimeters. For sedans, 80 centimeters is approximately below the door handle, while for SUVs, 80 centimeters is roughly at the lower edge of the headlights. Therefore, when approaching an obstacle, ensure that you can see below the door handle or the lower edge of the headlights of the obstacle vehicle.
I have personal experience with how to observe the front corner of the car during the Subject 2 driving test. When I first got my driver's license, I often made mistakes during the parallel parking exercise because I couldn't accurately align the front corner of the car with the parking space line. The instructor taught us to sit upright in a standard posture and observe the front corner of the car—specifically the edge of the front bumper—through the lower part of the windshield. For example, when reversing into a parking space, aim for the corner of the garage or the yellow line, and turn the steering wheel immediately when the front corner of the car just touches that line to smoothly enter the space. I recommend practicing several times in an open area using cones to simulate targets and repeatedly adjusting your perspective. Remember not to constantly look down at the rearview mirror; looking straight ahead is more intuitive. Also, make it a habit during regular driving so you won't get nervous or make mistakes during the test. This technique is not only useful for the test but also helps with quick and accurate parking in daily driving, avoiding scratches and dents.
