What are the requirements and point deduction standards for parallel parking?
2 Answers
Subject 2 parallel parking test requires the driver to park the vehicle into the right parking space without the wheels touching the lane boundary or the parking space boundary. Point deduction standards: After the vehicle is parked, if the body crosses the line, 100 points will be deducted. If the wheels touch the lane boundary during driving, 10 points will be deducted. If the vehicle is not parked within the space, 100 points will be deducted. If the left turn signal is not turned on when starting, 10 points will be deducted. If the vehicle stops midway, 100 points will be deducted. Definition standards: In Subject 2, a midway stop is defined as the vehicle stopping for more than 2 seconds. During the test, the vehicle might slide due to uneven ground or inertia before shifting gears to start, which could be judged by the computer as a midway stop.
Parallel parking is a crucial item in the driver's license test, with quite specific operational requirements. You must first park the car parallel to the parking space about 50 centimeters ahead, then shift into reverse and start backing up without stopping midway. Neither the car body nor the wheels can touch the solid lines, and you must turn on the left turn signal before exiting the space after parking. Regarding the scoring criteria, if the car body crosses the line, it's an immediate failure, while touching the line with the tires deducts 10 points each time. The operation must be completed within a 90-second time limit; exceeding it results in an automatic fail. Incorrect car positioning after parking also leads to deductions, such as the front of the car crossing the line or being more than 50 centimeters from the road edge, both requiring a retake. When practicing, I always remind beginners that adjusting the rearview mirror angles is particularly critical, and frequently checking the distance between the wheels and the corner of the space can help avoid touching the lines.
