Is stopping early when the fixed point exceeds 50 cm?
4 Answers
Both stopping too early or too late may result in the fixed point exceeding 50 cm, which leads to immediate failure and requires retaking the test. Scoring criteria: After the vehicle stops, if the front bumper of the car or the front axle of the motorcycle is not aligned with the pole line and exceeds 50 cm forward or backward, it is considered a failure. If the front bumper of the car or the front axle of the motorcycle is not aligned with the pole line but does not exceed 50 cm forward or backward, 10 points will be deducted (originally 20 points). Notes: Accurately estimate the target, using the parking pole and a specific point on the windshield (or engine hood) (this point should be determined during practice as it varies by vehicle model and driver height). When the specific point on the windshield aligns with the parking pole in a straight line, meaning the vehicle's bumper aligns with the parking pole line, stop immediately.
Oops, I just encountered a similar issue. This 'stopping distance exceeding 50' sounds like it's referring to the braking distance during standard tests, like stopping over 50 meters. As a frequent driver, I know this usually isn't about stopping too early but rather indicates problems with the braking system, such as worn brake pads or insufficient tire grip. A larger value means you need to brake later to come to a stop, which is especially dangerous in rainy conditions or at high speeds. My advice: don't wait for a major incident—get your braking system checked at a professional auto shop ASAP. Maybe replacing some parts will fix it. Make it a habit to perform routine checks, like feeling the brake disc temperature, to ensure your vehicle's safety performance meets standards.
This topic reminds me of a veteran driver friend's sharing. 'Stopping point exceeding 50 meters' likely refers to when the stopping distance surpasses 50 meters at a specific speed, which is absolutely not a sign of braking too early but rather indicates the risk of braking too late. All cars develop such issues over time, with common causes being aged brake fluid or ABS malfunctions. I strongly recommend addressing this immediately - otherwise emergency braking distances become dangerously long during driving, increasing rear-end collision risks. Pay regular attention to your vehicle's condition, routinely inspect brake disc thickness, and especially conduct self-checks before long trips. Never cut corners on minor components.
I've worked on car modifications, and such issues are common. 'Fixed point greater than 50' refers to excessive parking distance – a higher value indicates poor braking performance. It should be repaired promptly rather than questioning if you stopped too early. Possible causes include leaking brake lines or sensor failure. Replace brake pads in time, safety comes first.
