What are the scoring criteria for the curve driving in Subject 2?
2 Answers
The scoring criteria for curve driving are: if any wheel presses against the road edge line, 100 points will be deducted (originally, pressing against the edge line would deduct 20 points, and crossing the line would deduct 100 points. The new standard has increased the penalty for pressing against the edge line to 100 points). Stopping midway will also result in a 100-point deduction. Below are the related details: Venue requirements: The venue for curve driving looks like the letter S lying on the ground. According to the 'Small Vehicle Test Project Size Standards', the arc radius of the curve driving venue for a C1 license is 7.5 meters. The vehicle enters from one end of the S-shaped lane and exits from the other end without pressing the line. Assessment content: The assessment evaluates the driver's ability to manipulate the steering and control the vehicle for curve driving. The purpose is to cultivate the driver's skill in using the steering and mastering the trajectory of the wheels.
I just passed the Subject 2 test recently, and the scoring rules for curve driving are crucial. To put it simply, if the wheels touch the sideline, it's an immediate 100-point deduction resulting in test failure; pausing for more than two seconds also deducts 100 points. Improper speed control, such as driving too fast, increases the risk of touching the line, while driving too slowly may lead to pauses and deductions. I remember being nervous during the test and almost touching the line in a hurry. My instructor taught me to drive slowly, use the rearview mirror to observe the distance between the car and the line, and maintain a steady speed. During practice, it's essential to repeatedly find reference points, such as aligning the car's position with markers before turning. This segment tests spatial awareness and control skills, which are also useful in everyday driving. To avoid deductions, I recommend simulating the practice several times daily to build confidence. After passing, I found it very helpful for actual road safety, especially in reducing accidents by not touching the line during turns.
