Is it acceptable for the car body to touch the line during a right-angle turn?
2 Answers
When taking the right-angle and curve driving tests, touching the line with the car body does not result in point deductions. Below is relevant information about the driving test: 1. Definition of simulation fee: The simulation fee and venue fee refer to the costs required for a simulated test at the examination site. During the process of obtaining a driver's license, apart from the registration fee, simulation fee, and venue fee, there are no other costs. However, the decision to take or not take the simulated test is entirely up to the individual; you can choose to simulate or not. 2. Driving test: Applicants for a motor vehicle driver's license must pass the following four test subjects: Subject One - Road Traffic Safety Laws, Regulations, and Related Knowledge Test; Subject Two - Site Driving Skills Test; Subject Three - Road Driving Skills Test; and Subject Four - Safe and Civilized Driving Knowledge Test. The test sequence proceeds from Subject One to Subject Four in order, and applicants are only allowed to take the next subject after passing the previous one.
Having driven for so many years, from getting my driver's license to daily driving, I know that sweeping the line with the car body during a 90-degree turn is absolutely unacceptable in the test. I remember during the second driving test, the instructor specifically emphasized not to cross the line—not even a little—otherwise, you'd lose points or fail immediately. In real driving, sweeping the line might sometimes be unavoidable, but it shows inaccurate steering control and increases the risk of scraping roadside obstacles. My advice is to slow down before turning, anticipate the angle properly, and use the rearview mirror to check the wheel position. Once it becomes a habit, you can avoid turning it into a problem. Regularly practicing turning techniques can improve safety—don’t underestimate this detail.
