Body sweeping the line means the body is over the line, which results in a deduction of 100 points, making the test unsuccessful. Other actions that also result in a 100-point deduction include the vehicle crossing the line, not entering the parking space, stopping midway, not following the prescribed route, not following the sequence, or exceeding the prescribed time. The two subjects have a full score of 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failure, 20-point deduction, 10-point deduction, and 5-point deduction. The rules for the subject two test of applying for a motor vehicle driver's license state that any mid-test stopping, rolling back, or not following the voice prompts will result in failure. Additionally, the wheels or body pressing the line will also result in test failure. Many students encounter the issue of pressing the line during subject two learning, with "pressing the line" being the most common mistake leading to failure. The main reason for wheels pressing the line is that students fail to grasp the correct timing for steering. Apart from missing the steering timing, another reason could be that the steering speed does not match the vehicle speed. Subject two deduction standards: Not wearing a seatbelt: 100-point deduction. Starting the engine without the gear in neutral: 100-point deduction. Not using the turn signal (including starting, changing lanes, overtaking, turning, and parking); using the turn signal for less than three seconds (note this is easily overlooked!); forgetting to turn off the turn signal or using it incorrectly: 10-point deduction. Stalling once: 10-point deduction. Reversing into the parking space: Not following the prescribed route sequence: 100-point deduction. Body over the line: 100-point deduction. Not fully reversing into the parking space: 100-point deduction. Before reversing, if the two front wheels do not pass the control line: 100-point deduction. Exceeding the 210-second time limit for the task: 100-point deduction. Stopping midway for more than 2 seconds: 5-point deduction each time. Slope parking and starting: After stopping, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line and exceeds 50cm front or back: 100-point deduction. After stopping, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line but does not exceed 50cm front or back: 10-point deduction. After stopping, if the starting time exceeds 30 seconds: 100-point deduction. Wheels pressing the road edge while driving: 100-point deduction. Rolling back more than 30cm when starting: 100-point deduction. After stopping, if the body is more than 50cm from the road edge: 100-point deduction. After parking, not tightening the parking brake: 10-point deduction per time. After stopping, if the body is more than 30cm but less than 50cm from the road edge: 10-point deduction per time. Rolling back more than 10cm but less than 30cm when starting: 5-point deduction per time. Parallel parking: After parking, if the body is over the line: 100-point deduction. Not using or incorrectly using the turn signal when entering the parking space: 10-point deduction. Exceeding the 90-second time limit for the task: 100-point deduction. Touching the parking space edge with the body while driving: 10-point deduction per time. Wheels pressing the lane edge while driving: 10-point deduction per time. Stopping midway for more than 2 seconds: 5-point deduction per time. 90-degree turn: Wheels pressing the road edge: 100-point deduction. Not using or incorrectly using the turn signal when turning, or not turning off the turn signal after turning: 10-point deduction. Stopping midway for more than 2 seconds: 5-point deduction per time. Curve driving: Wheels pressing the road edge: 100-point deduction. Stopping midway for more than 2 seconds: 100-point deduction. Driving without the gear in second or above: 5-point deduction.

I've heard my coach say countless times that in the reverse parking section of the driving test (Subject 2), having the rear of the car cross the line isn't just a point deduction—it's an immediate fail. If your car's rear exceeds that yellow line while reversing, the system instantly judges the test as failed, without letting you continue. The reason is simple: it shows poor position control, posing a risk of scraping or hitting something, which is a safety issue. I've seen many trainees rush and reverse too quickly, causing them to go out of bounds. My advice is to practice more to get a feel for it, especially during mock tests at the exam site. Keep a close eye on the reference points in the rearview mirror, steer slowly, and don’t let the rear slide out. Developing this habit not only helps you pass the test but also reduces parking accidents in daily driving. In short, failing isn’t trivial—familiarizing yourself with the rules ensures a one-time pass.

I just passed the Subject 2 test not long ago, and I have a deep impression of the reversing part. If the rear of the car crosses the line, it's not just a minor deduction—it's an instant fail for the entire exam. The rules for reversing into the parking space are quite strict; that boundary line is like a minefield—the moment your car's rear crosses it, the system automatically fails you. I was extremely nervous during the test, and even a slight misalignment of the wheels while reversing caused me to go out of bounds, with the coach shaking his head beside me. To avoid this, during practice, you need to accurately find the reference points, control your speed to avoid going too fast, and it's best to use a simulation car to get a feel for it. Although failing due to crossing the line is disappointing, don't lose heart—review your mistakes and improve next time. The driving test isn't really about testing skills; it's about attentiveness and rhythm. Familiarize yourself with the test site in advance, and you'll be fine.

I emphasized to my child when learning to drive that reversing into the parking space with the rear of the car crossing the line is not just a point deduction, but an immediate failure in the test. Subject 2 requires precise parking; if the rear of the car crosses the line, it indicates a significant positional deviation, which could easily lead to accidents. Safety comes first, and there's no room for carelessness. During practice, you should frequently check the rearview mirrors, reverse slowly, and avoid steering abruptly. It's also important to develop good habits in daily driving to prevent scraping objects in parking lots. The strict test rules are designed to ensure that learners master the basic skills. Don't underestimate this detail—take it seriously, and you'll pass smoothly.
