Should You Look at the Front or Rear Door Handle When Reversing into a Parking Space?
1 Answers
When reversing into a parking space, focus on the rear door handle. While adjusting direction, keep the car in reverse gear and maintain the steering wheel at its extreme left position as you back up. The driver should observe the left rearview mirror and make directional adjustments to guide the rear of the car into the parking space. Once the car is inside the space, the driver should check the right rearview mirror. When the entire right boundary line of the parking space becomes visible, immediately straighten the steering wheel. Different items in Subject 2 of the driving test have different penalty points. The details are as follows: 1. General Penalties: Not wearing a seatbelt, not closing the car door properly, and starting the engine without the gear in neutral all result in a 100-point deduction. Failing to use turn signals, using turn signals for less than three seconds, forgetting to turn off turn signals, or using them incorrectly, as well as stalling the engine, each result in a 10-point deduction. 2. Parallel Parking: If the car body crosses the line after stopping inside the parking space or if the task takes more than 90 seconds, a 100-point deduction applies. Not using or incorrectly using turn signals when exiting the parking space also results in a 100-point deduction. Each time the car body touches the parking space line or the wheels touch the lane boundary line during movement, a 10-point deduction is applied. Stopping for more than 2 seconds during the process results in a 5-point deduction each time. 3. Reversing into a Parking Space: Exceeding 210 seconds, not following the prescribed route or sequence, failing to drive the front wheels over the control line before reversing, or not successfully parking the car all result in a 100-point deduction. Stopping for more than 2 seconds during the process results in a 5-point deduction each time. 4. Curve Driving: Driving over the edge line or stopping for more than 2 seconds results in a 100-point deduction.
