Is Exceeding the Line During Reverse Parking a Deduction or Failure?
1 Answers
Exceeding the line with the vehicle body results in a 100-point deduction, leading directly to failure. Other actions that also incur a 100-point deduction include crossing the line, not fully entering the parking space, stopping midway, not following the prescribed route or sequence, and exceeding the allotted time. The full score for Subject 2 is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failure, 20-point deductions, 10-point deductions, and 5-point deductions. The rules for the Subject 2 driving test state that any mid-test stopping, rolling back, or not following voice instructions results in failure. Additionally, having wheels or the vehicle body cross the line also leads to failure. Many learners encounter line-crossing issues during Subject 2 training, with "crossing the line" being the most common reason for failure. The primary cause of wheel line-crossing is learners not mastering the correct timing for steering. Besides missing the right moment to steer, another reason could be the steering speed not matching the vehicle's speed. Subject 2 Deduction Standards: Not wearing a seatbelt: 100-point deduction.
