What are the reference points for the Santana in Subject 2 of the driving test?

There are 7 types of reference points in Subject 2. Below is relevant knowledge about the reference points in Subject 2: Slope fixed-point parking and starting: The test requires the vehicle to stop steadily on the slope, with the front bumper aligned with the parking line. The difficulty here lies in the timing of stopping. To master this timing, it is essential to learn to use reference points on the vehicle and facilities in the test area. Right-angle turn The right-angle turn is considered a relatively simple task, with the common mistake being the timing of steering—steering too early will cause the rear wheel to run over the inner corner of the lane; steering too late will cause the front corner of the car to exceed the outer edge of the lane, and pressing the line with the right front wheel will result in immediate failure.
When practicing for the Subject 2 driving test, memorizing the reference points for a car like the new Santana is crucial. For example, in the hill-start project, I usually pay attention to aligning the lower edge of the hood with the stop line ahead before pressing the brake to stop. Then, when starting, I check the right-side mirror to ensure the wheel is parallel to the solid line before accelerating. For the reverse parking segment, I position the car in front of the parking space, start reversing when I see the corner of the space in the left mirror, and adjust the steering wheel when one-third of the car's rear enters the space to avoid crossing the line. These reference points vary from person to person, so it's essential to practice multiple times while considering the car's height and seat adjustment. Avoid panicking and making sudden moves, as this can lead to stalling or failing. Using yellow tape to mark reference points at home or in the practice area can also be very helpful in reducing nervousness during the actual test. In short, reference points are just visual guides—once you practice enough, it becomes second nature.
