What are the rules for reversing into the garage in Subject 2?

[StLogan]

Subject 2 reversing into the garage includes five parts: reversing into the garage, turning at a right angle, parallel parking, etc. The following are the specific contents: 1. Reversing into the garage: Reversing into the garage is a relatively important part of Subject 2 practice. If you do not follow the prescribed route sequence, you will be deducted 100 points; if you do not completely reverse into the garage, you will be deducted 100 points; if the body of the car crosses the line, you will be deducted 100 points; if you stop halfway, you will be deducted 100 points. 2. Turning at a right angle: During the process of turning at a right angle, if any wheel presses the edge line of the road, you will be deducted 100 points; if you stop halfway, you will be deducted 100 points. 3. Parallel parking: Parallel parking is used more frequently in daily life. During the test, if the body of the car crosses the line after the vehicle stops in the garage, you will be deducted 100 points; if the wheels touch or press the lane line during driving, you will be deducted 10 points; if the car is not parked in the garage, you will be deducted 100 points; if you do not turn on the left turn signal when starting, you will be deducted 10 points; if you do not turn on the right turn signal when reversing, you will be deducted 10 points; if you stop halfway, you will be deducted 100 points.

I just got my driver's license last year, and the reverse parking in Subject 2 was the most challenging part for me. The rules are quite strict. You have to drive into the parking area from a designated starting point, steer the wheel accurately, and reverse into the spot in one go without crossing the solid or yellow lines on either side. The car body must not go out of bounds. During the reversing process, you can't stop for more than 2 seconds, or you'll lose points. Stalling or hitting the poles is even worse. There are markers in the parking area, and I practiced every day to find reference points in the rearview mirror, like turning the wheel when the rear wheels aligned with the lines. You need to stay calm and not rush, otherwise, it's easy to fail by having the wheels cross the lines. If you don't reverse in properly or go out of bounds, you fail immediately and have to start over. Actually, this tests your real-life parking skills, which will come in handy in tight parking spaces later on.

When it comes to reverse parking, the key points are not to cross the lines and to keep the speed slow, below 5 km/h. The steering wheel operation should be done in one go—no stopping midway or stalling the engine, as stalling leads to heavy penalties, and stopping for more than two seconds also results in a penalty. I've seen many people fail here, mainly because their rearview mirrors weren't adjusted properly, leading to blind reversing without seeing the parking lines. During the test, you only get one attempt to reverse, and once inside the parking space, the car must be centered with no part exceeding the lines. It's recommended to use the reference point method, identifying ground markers and rear wheel positions, and to practice simulating different scenarios. In short, the rule is to succeed in one attempt—no violations and no delays.

The rules for reverse parking can be simply summarized as: drive from the starting point into the parking area, reverse in one go without the wheels touching the lines or the car body exceeding the boundaries. Keep the speed slow to avoid stopping or stalling. The most common issue is running over the lines, which happens when my reference points are off, so practicing alignment with the rearview mirrors is crucial. There are many points where you can lose marks in the test, such as failing to enter the parking space, exceeding the time limit, or touching the lines, all of which result in an immediate fail. Don’t be too nervous; get more guidance from the instructor and practice a few more times to get the hang of it.

When I was taking my driver's license test, the evaluation for reverse parking into the garage was extremely strict. In terms of operation, you could only reverse once—no back-and-forth adjustments were allowed, or points would be deducted. The entire vehicle had to be fully inside the parking space, with no part of the car extending beyond the edge of the parking lines, and the wheels couldn’t even slightly touch the lines. The timing was also tightly controlled—stopping for more than two seconds would result in failure, and stalling the engine meant an instant fail. I still remember using the rearview mirror to align reference points, like turning the steering wheel fully when the tires aligned with the line, then slowly reversing in. Safety-wise, this exercise trains everyday parking skills to avoid scratches. The core of the rules lies in precision and quick reflexes.

The key rules for reverse parking are ensuring safety: slow speed, no crossing lines, and completing in one go. Maintain a low speed, turn the steering wheel decisively, and avoid stopping or stalling midway. The car must be centered within the parking space without exceeding boundaries front or back. Crossing solid lines results in immediate test failure, reflecting real-world accident prevention. Use rearview mirrors to observe and adjust the car's angle relative to markers. Practice slow, deliberate movements—speed isn't the goal. These rules build parking confidence to minimize collision risks in real scenarios.
