How to know when the front wheels cross the line in Subject 2?
2 Answers
Start reversing by turning the steering wheel one and a half turns to the right, observe the top of the wheel in the right rearview mirror, and maintain a distance of about 40 centimeters from the right line of the garage. When the left line of the garage becomes visible, immediately turn the steering wheel half a turn to the left and continue reversing. When solid lines of the garage appear on both sides at roughly equal distances, immediately turn the steering wheel one full turn to the left and continue reversing. Stop the car when the front line of the garage is completely covered.
When I was taking the driving test for Subject 2, I often struggled with determining whether the front wheels had crossed the line. I mainly relied on carefully observing the tires and the ground line through the interior rearview mirror or the right side mirror. At the test site, when the car came to a stop, I would adjust the angle of the rearview mirror and focus my vision on the front wheels. If I could clearly see the edge of the tire pressing against or crossing that line, it meant the line had been crossed. Of course, this required a lot of practice because the line is very thin, and it's easy to misjudge under poor lighting conditions. During practice, I always reminded myself not to rush to stop but to move slowly, keeping my eyes on the rearview mirror as the wheels gradually approached the line. Once I felt the tire covered the line, I would immediately confirm it. The instructor often said that crossing the line is a common point deduction, and failing means retaking the test, so I spent time developing this visual skill. After becoming familiar with the car's positioning, my judgment became more accurate. Remember, don’t get distracted by other operations; staying focused on observation can greatly improve success rates, as safe parking is fundamental.
