Penalty items for reversing into the garage are as follows: Not following the prescribed route or sequence, deduct 100 points; vehicle body crossing the line, deduct 100 points; failing to enter the garage, deduct 100 points; stopping midway, deduct 100 points. Techniques for reversing into the garage: After getting into the car, the driver should first adjust the seat and rearview mirror, fasten the seat belt, then shift the car into reverse gear, release the parking brake lever, and start reversing at idle speed. The driver observes the garage through the right rear window. When the black edge of the right rear window aligns with the right line of the garage, turn the steering wheel steadily to the right to the limit position. After the car enters the garage, the driver should look back at the left rearview mirror. When the entire left line of the garage appears, immediately straighten the steering wheel. When the left door handle is level with the bottom line of the garage as seen in the left rearview mirror, stop immediately.

When it comes to the scoring standards for reverse parking, I've practiced this item with many friends. The most serious mistake is the car body crossing the line, which leads to an immediate failure with no room for negotiation. Stopping midway once deducts 5 points, but if the stop lasts more than 2 seconds, it's still a failure. Not fully entering the parking space or pressing against the corner of the space is considered incomplete and results in a 100-point deduction. If the steering wheel is turned back at the wrong time and the wheels press against the sensor line, it's an immediate failure. I've even seen someone stick their head out of the window while reversing, which was judged as dangerous driving, leading to an immediate end of the test. My advice is to remember: controlling the speed is the most crucial. Use the half-clutch to move slowly, compare the distance to the corner of the space in the rearview mirror, and it's better to turn the steering wheel early rather than late. Keeping the car body and the sideline two fingers' width apart in the rearview mirror is the safest.

During my Subject 2 driving test, I lost points on reverse parking. Here are the pitfalls to avoid: Before starting to reverse, the front wheels must cross the control line; failing to do so results in a 100-point deduction. After entering the parking space, scraping the line with the car body deducts 10 points, but crossing the line means an automatic fail. Forgetting to use the turn signal once deducts 10 points. Exceeding the 210-second time limit also leads to failure, though few people exceed this. One detail to note: if the car body is too tilted after stopping, it may be judged as crossing the line. My instructor taught me a good method: for left-side reverse parking, when the left rearview mirror covers the corner of the parking space, turn the steering wheel fully to the right; for right-side reverse parking, when the right rearview mirror is 30cm from the side line, turn the steering wheel back halfway. Remembering these reference points is crucial, and adjusting the seat and mirrors correctly is essential for accurate alignment.

As a veteran driving school student, I'm all too familiar with point deductions in reverse parking. The maneuver must be completed in one attempt after starting. Pausing for over 2 seconds during reversing deducts 5 points, and exceeding 3 pauses results in immediate failure. Tire contact with lines is strictly prohibited and leads to instant disqualification. Brushing against corner markers doesn't fail you but deducts 10 points - accumulate two such instances and you're in trouble. An often overlooked rule: failing to signal when entering/exiting the bay costs 10 points each time. After fully entering, the vehicle must stop within designated boundaries - protruding front bumpers are unacceptable. The key lies in clutch control; only when speed is steady can you make minor steering adjustments. Mastering reference points is crucial - for left-side parking, begin straightening the wheel when the corner marker becomes visible.

After practicing reverse parking for three months, I've thoroughly studied the penalty rules. The most critical mistake is the wheels touching the edge line, which results in an immediate exam failure. If the car body brushes the line without actually touching it, there's still some leeway with a 10-point deduction. Incorrect parking position after entering the garage also incurs penalties; either the rear exceeding the line or the front not fully entering the garage counts as a 100-point mistake. Hitting the corner of the garage while reversing is considered an incomplete operation, directly deducting 100 points. Turn signals must be used as required, with a 10-point deduction for each forgetful instance. Timeouts result in a 5-point deduction but are rare. The key is learning to adjust—if you turn the steering wheel too early, correct it later; if too late, adjust in advance. Reference points should be adjusted based on your height; raising the seat provides a clearer view.

Last time when coaching my cousin for the Subject 2 driving test, I emphasized the point-deduction details for reverse parking. Completely crossing the boundary line means instant failure, while partially touching the line deducts 10 points. Running over the sensor line at the front corner of the parking space results in immediate disqualification. Avoid stopping for more than 2 seconds mid-process - accumulating over two stops is very risky. Forgetting to shift to neutral and pull the handbrake after parking deducts 10 points, but this is easy to remedy. The time limit is actually lenient, but exceeding 210 seconds will cost 5 points. I taught him the secret to controlling speed: don't fully depress the clutch with your left foot - leave some gap to maintain slight movement. For right-side reverse parking, watch the right rearview mirror - when the corner of the parking space disappears, turn the steering wheel one full circle to the left for the most stable approach. Stop immediately when the car body appears parallel to the line in the mirror. Practice several times to develop muscle memory.
