What are the 5-point deduction items in Subject 2?

[Taylor]

Stopping midway during reverse parking and parallel parking will result in a 5-point deduction. Below are the relevant details: Reverse Parking: Not following the designated route or sequence will result in a 100-point deduction. The vehicle body crossing the line will result in a 100-point deduction. Failing to fully enter the parking space will result in a 100-point deduction. If the two front wheels do not pass the control line before reversing, it will result in a 100-point deduction. Exceeding the time limit for completing the task will result in a 100-point deduction. Stopping midway will result in a 5-point deduction. Parallel Parking: After the vehicle is parked in the space, if the vehicle body crosses the line, it will result in a 100-point deduction. Exceeding the time limit for completing the task will result in a 100-point deduction. If the wheels touch the lane boundary line while driving, it will result in a 10-point deduction. If the vehicle body touches the parking space boundary line while driving, it will result in a 10-point deduction. Failing to use or incorrectly using the turn signal when exiting the space will result in a 10-point deduction. Stopping midway will result in a 5-point deduction.

I just finished today's student exams, and the 5-point deductions in Subject 2 are actually quite common. For the hill start, exceeding 30 seconds or rolling back less than 30 cm will deduct 5 points—many students get nervous and exceed the time. During parallel parking, touching the parking space boundary with the car body also deducts 5 points, as does the car body crossing the line during reverse parking. For right-angle turns, if the wheels press the line or the car body crosses the boundary, it’s another 5-point deduction. The same applies if the car body crosses the line during curve driving. In some regions, failing to signal or signaling incorrectly when starting also deducts 5 points. I always tell my students that these minor mistakes are easily avoidable—the key is to practice hill starts and reversing more. Spending half an hour daily at the driving school to familiarize themselves with the positions will help them stay calm during the test. These deductions don’t affect the overall outcome much, but paying attention to them can improve the pass rate.

I just passed Subject 2 last month, but got 5 points deducted on the hill start. The main points for 5-point deductions include exceeding 30 seconds on hill start or slight rolling back, touching lines in parallel parking, going out of bounds in reverse parking, running over lines in right-angle turns, and vehicle body crossing lines in curve driving. That time, I just took a bit too long on the start and exceeded the time limit, but scored full marks on other items. After the test, the instructor said these minor deductions were fine as long as the total score wasn't too low. When practicing, the hill section is the hardest, so it's recommended to practice more on fixed-point braking and starting timing. Also, getting the starting signal wrong deducts 5 points, but I've simulated it several times on the APP and got familiar with it, so no problem there. Once you've practiced Subject 2 thoroughly, passing is easy—don't let these small mistakes scare you.

Having worked in the auto repair shop for many years, I often discuss driving tests while helping customers adjust their cars. The 5-point deduction items in Subject 2 include exceeding the time limit or slight rollback during hill starts, touching the line with the car body during parallel parking, crossing the exit line during reverse parking, wheel touching the line during right-angle turns, and car body touching the line during curve driving. These are all caused by unstable control. From a vehicle safety perspective, I recommend getting familiar with line positions and spatial awareness, especially using side mirrors to monitor edge distances when reversing. Don’t rush during practice—slow and steady operations are best. These mistakes are not hard to correct. Stay patient during the test, and reducing deduction points will naturally increase your success rate.

Back when I was learning to drive, I also took the Subject 2 test, and the current rules still deduct 5 points for similar mistakes. The penalty items include stalling or rolling back slightly during hill start (exceeding 30 seconds), touching the edge line during parallel parking, the car body exceeding boundaries during reverse parking, wheels pressing the line during right-angle turns, and going out of bounds during curve driving. Back then, I got penalized for the right-angle turn. Nowadays, driving schools have upgraded their equipment, which helps avoid more mistakes. During practice, focus more on the timing of starting and turning—these minor deductions won't affect the overall outcome. Looking back, Subject 2 is all about being meticulous. Remember not to rush; just drive steadily through it.
