The penalty rules for ramp parking are as follows: 1. After stopping, if the right side of the vehicle body is more than 300mm away from the sideline: 10 points will be deducted; if more than 500mm, 100 points will be deducted; touching or crossing the line will result in a 100-point deduction. 2. After stopping, if the front bumper is not positioned on the pole line: and the deviation does not exceed 500mm, 10 points will be deducted; if it exceeds 500mm, 100 points will be deducted. 3. After stopping, if the parking brake is not fully engaged: 10 points will be deducted. 4. Failing to start within 30 seconds: 100 points will be deducted. 5. Stalling once during startup: 10 points will be deducted. 6. When starting the engine, if the gear is not in neutral or park: 100 points will be deducted.

When I took my driving test, the hill start was a real challenge. It was particularly easy to fail immediately with a 100-point deduction if the parking position wasn't accurate. For example, the right side of the car had to be within 30 centimeters of the edge line. If it exceeded that, the examiner would deduct 10 points, but in some test centers, exceeding 50 centimeters meant an instant fail. The start was even more critical—you had to pull the handbrake tight, slowly release the clutch while giving it some gas. If the car rolled back more than 30 centimeters, that was another 100 points gone; rolling back less than 30 centimeters would still cost you 10 points, which was considered lenient. I saw many people lose points for not using the handbrake or releasing it too quickly, and stalling the engine added another 10 points. This test item was all about your control of the clutch and brakes. Practicing more to get the feel was essential; otherwise, the chances of failing were high. Safe driving starts with mastering this checkpoint.

As someone who frequently instructs trainees, I must remind you that the scoring rules for hill-start parking are quite detailed. When parking, the wheels must stop within the designated yellow lines; incorrect positioning results in an immediate 100-point deduction. The right side of the vehicle must be within 30 cm of the edge line—exceeding this incurs penalties, usually starting at 10 points, but going too far may lead to an outright failure. Starting is another major focus: a loose or forgotten handbrake can cost 10 points, and controlling rollback is critical—rolling back over 30 cm means failing, while less than 30 cm deducts 10 points. Additionally, stalling the engine is another 10-point penalty. The key to avoiding these is practicing throttle and clutch coordination, ensuring the handbrake is firmly set before starting. Remember, safety comes first—small mistakes can add up and force a retest.

Last time I failed the test right on the slope! The parking position wasn't aligned properly, the wheels ran out of line, and the examiner directly said deduct 100 points - failed. All that nervousness for nothing. If the car body exceeds the distance from the side line, points are deducted too - some places use 30cm as the limit. If the car rolls back too severely after starting, you'll be disqualified. I remember when starting, you need to slowly release the clutch while gently pressing the accelerator and lightly applying the handbrake, otherwise if the car rolls back more than 30cm it's game over - rolling back less only costs 10 points, which is lucky. That time my engine stalled and I lost more points - the deduction rules had me all flustered. Now thinking back, more practice is really the right way.

Can a Vehicle That Fails Annual Inspection Be Scrapped?

Vehicles that fail annual inspection can be scrapped, and those that have not undergone inspection for 3 years will be forcibly scrapped. Vehicle scrapping process: The owner of a vehicle applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out the "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping" in duplicate and affix the owner's seal. Apply at the registration acceptance counter, and for vehicles that have reached the scrapping age limit, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping age limit, after inspection and confirmation by the vehicle inspection counter that they meet the scrapping standards, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. The vehicle owner can then choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle, presenting the "Notice". The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photographs after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The vehicle owner must then submit the "Modification Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photographs of the dismantled vehicle to the vehicle inspection counter for verification and signature. The license plates and certificates will be reclaimed, and the scrapping registration will be processed according to regulations after approval.

How to Correct Steering When Turning Right Too Late During Reverse Parking?

If you turn the steering wheel too late when reversing to the right, keep the steering wheel fully turned to the right without returning it. Observe the left rearview mirror to ensure the rear of the vehicle enters the parking space, and check the right rearview mirror to prevent the right rear wheel from crossing the line, causing the car body to tilt left. At this point, straighten the steering wheel and turn it to the left to adjust the car's position and smoothly complete the parking.
