Is It Acceptable for the Rearview Mirror to Touch the Line During Reverse Parking?

[VonRonan]

In the Subject 2 driving test, if the rearview mirror touches the line during reverse parking, it is considered a failure. Other actions that result in a 100-point deduction include the vehicle body touching the line, not fully entering the parking space, stopping midway, not following the designated route, incorrect sequence of operations, or exceeding the time limit. The full score for Subject 2 is 100 points, with evaluation criteria that include failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, or deducting 5 points. The rules for the Subject 2 driving test state that any of the following will result in failure: stopping or rolling back during the test, not following the voice prompts, the wheels touching the line, or the vehicle body touching the line. Many learners encounter the issue of touching the line during Subject 2 training, and "touching the line" is the most common reason for failing. The main cause of this issue is 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: Deduct 100 points. Starting the engine without the gear in neutral: Deduct 100 points.
