Is the Handbrake Required for Parallel Parking?
1 Answers
When the vehicle is completely parked in the space, there is no need to engage the handbrake. The point deductions for parallel parking include the vehicle body crossing the line after parking, stopping midway during the maneuver, and the tires touching the lane boundary lines while moving. Specifically, if the vehicle body crosses the line after parking or stops midway, it results in an immediate deduction of 100 points, leading to a failed test. If the tires touch the lane boundary lines while moving, it results in a deduction of 10 points. Below are some tips for parallel parking: 1. Ensure the vehicle body is about 30 centimeters from the edge of the parking space and drive parallel past the space. 2. Move the vehicle forward and observe the right rearview mirror. When the corner of the space (Point A) appears, the vehicle has passed the space, and you should stop. 3. Press the clutch, shift into reverse gear, and slowly back up; watch the right rearview mirror, and when the corner of the space (Point A) disappears, turn the steering wheel fully to the right.
