Is a vehicle crossing the line an immediate 100-point deduction?

[MacAlexander]

Vehicle crossing the line, as the name suggests, refers to the situation where the front or any part of the vehicle moves outside the standard line while driving. Once a vehicle crosses the line, it generally results in an immediate 100-point deduction, which means failing the test. Below are the deduction criteria for parallel parking: The following situations result in a 100-point deduction: The vehicle crosses the line after stopping in the parking space; The vehicle is not parked inside the parking space; The vehicle stops midway. Any of the above situations will result in failing the test, requiring a retake. The following situations result in a 10-point deduction: The wheels touch or press against the lane boundary line while driving; Failing to turn on the left turn signal when starting.

Ever since my driving test days, I knew that having the car body cross the line would directly deduct 100 points, resulting in an immediate failure. When I first practiced reverse parking, I kept running over the lines. As soon as the examiner pointed this out, I panicked and had to reschedule for the next test. The rule is quite strict, but it's designed reasonably because crossing the line indicates poor control, which in real driving could lead to scraping accidents or traffic violation fines. I suggest making full use of the reference points provided by the driving school during practice, such as aligning the car hood with the ground lines and repeatedly adjusting the steering wheel angle. Don’t just focus on speed—prioritize slow, precise operations. On actual roads, crossing the line can also easily get caught by cameras, leading to point deductions and fines. So developing good habits is crucial. Practicing the basics more can help avoid test failures and the wasted time of retaking.

I've taught many students who encountered the issue of the car body crossing the line during reverse parking exercises, which results in an immediate 100-point deduction and ends the test. The rules are set this way—if the vehicle body exceeds the defined area or the wheels touch the line, it's an instant fail. This is because the test evaluates precise vehicle control, and crossing the line reflects steering inaccuracy or misjudgment. During practice, I remind students to use rearview mirrors and reference points outside the window to repeatedly adjust their spatial awareness. Crossing the line isn't a minor mistake—it can easily lead to real-world accidents like hitting guardrails. That's why developing precise control habits is crucial. Failing the exam means spending extra money to retake lessons, which is truly troublesome.

In the driving test, crossing the line with the vehicle body usually results in an immediate deduction of 100 points, leading to failure. This rule is designed to ensure safety standards, as crossing the line indicates weak control that could cause issues. For example, during parallel parking, if the wheels touch the boundary line, it results in immediate disqualification. I recommend practicing in standard test areas more to develop a sense of distance, which can help avoid such situations.
