What are the scoring standards for Subject 2?

[SanMatthew]

Not wearing a seatbelt: Deduct 100 points. Not closing the car door properly: Deduct 100 points. Not using the turn signal: Deduct 10 points for failing to use the turn signal before starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking, or using it for less than 3 seconds (using the turn signal for less than 3 seconds is a common reason for point deductions among students). Exam standards: Failing to stop at the designated spot: Deduct 100 points. After the vehicle stops, if the front bumper does not reach the control line: Deduct 100 points. Rolling backward more than 30 cm after stopping: Deduct 100 points. Rolling backward less than 30 cm after stopping: Deduct 10 points (previously 20 points). Not turning on the left turn signal when starting: Deduct 10 points. Driving over the solid edge line of the road: Deduct 100 points. After stopping, if the front bumper does not reach the parking line: Deduct 10 points (previously 20 points). Parking with the right front wheel more than 30 cm from the edge line: Deduct 10 points (previously 20 points). Starting time exceeding 30 seconds: Deduct 100 points (a new deduction item, the most common reason for students failing the exam). Parallel parking: After the vehicle stops in the parking space, if the body crosses the line: Deduct 100 points. Driving with wheels touching the lane edge line: Deduct 10 points. Not stopping inside the parking space: Deduct 100 points. Not turning on the left turn signal when starting: Deduct 10 points. Not turning on the right turn signal when reversing: Deduct 10 points (an added deduction item; previously, only starting required the left turn signal, and this is also the most easily overlooked item leading to point deductions). Right-angle turn: Stopping midway: Deduct 100 points. Curve driving: Any wheel pressing the road edge line: Deduct 100 points (previously, pressing the edge line deducted 20 points, and crossing the line deducted 100 points. The new standard raises pressing the edge line to 100 points). Stopping midway: Deduct 100 points. Reversing into a garage: Not following the prescribed route sequence: Deduct 100 points. Not completely reversing into the garage: Deduct 100 points. Body crossing the line: Deduct 100 points. Stopping midway: Deduct 100 points (previously, students could stop before entering the garage; now, once GPS determines the vehicle is in a complete stop, students will be directly deducted 100 points).

I've helped many people prepare for the Subject 2 driving test, and those scoring standards are truly critical to passing or failing. Simply put, Subject 2 has a full score of 100 points, and if you lose more than 20 points, you fail outright and have to retake it. The main test items include reverse parking, parallel parking, right-angle turns, and hill starts, each with detailed point deductions. For example, in reverse parking, running over the line once deducts 10 points; exceeding the time limit for the entire process deducts 5 points; hitting a pole or boundary object deducts 5 points; stopping midway during the operation deducts 5 points each time; and parking outside the designated area after stopping also deducts 10 points. These rules aren't just test requirements—they reflect the safety fundamentals of everyday driving, such as avoiding collisions or loss of control. Trainees should get used to timing and precise control during practice, not rushing but taking it slow to master the rhythm after a few tries. I always emphasize staying calm during the test and performing actions correctly—the scoring standards are actually helping you develop good habits to reduce risks on the road later.

I remember when I was learning to drive, I almost failed the Subject 2 test because of those point-deducting details—quite a lesson indeed. During the exam, every minor mistake was penalized: taking too long in parallel parking cost 5 points, deviating from the starting position meant 10 points. Hitting the line during reverse parking also deducted 10 points, and if wheels rolled over curbs or you rushed to finish, the examiner would mark it immediately. With a full score of 100, you needed to stay above 80 points to pass; otherwise, it was back to square one. I don’t think these standards are designed to be overly strict—they simulate real driving scenarios. Parking incorrectly in a real lot could lead to scratches or traffic jams. My advice for beginners: record practice sessions to review and correct habitual mistakes; during the test, prioritize precision over speed. Remember, these rules exist for safety. Details matter—being off by centimeters in reverse parking costs points—but mastery builds confidence on the road.

I believe the core design of the scoring deduction standards for Subject 2 is to ensure driving safety and prevent beginners from carrying bad habits onto the road. Test items like reverse parking and hill starts have strict rules: crossing a line once deducts 10 points, exceeding the time limit deducts 5 points, and accumulating over 20 points in mistakes results in failure. If you drive carelessly in daily practice, the test will expose these issues—for example, a large deviation in turning angle leads to point deductions, reminding you to make precise turns and avoid scraping the curb or pedestrians. The standards aren't overly complicated; practicing a few times will make them second nature. The key is to develop a meticulous attitude. Don’t just focus on avoiding point deductions—use these criteria to improve overall control skills.

When chatting with my neighbor about Subject 2 (Parking Test), he always complains that the penalty points are too strict—things like crossing the line deducting 10 points or parking crookedly deducting 5 points, which makes me nervous just listening to it. In reality, the standards cover all operational aspects: reversing into the garage requires checking the vehicle's position and timing; hill starts must be precisely stopped at the designated point, with large deviations resulting in deductions; right-angle turns must not scrape the curb. The full score is 100, and you need at least 80 to pass, but small mistakes piling up can be dangerous. Once when I watched him practice, he lost many points due to sudden braking—a habit that makes rear-end collisions more likely when driving. I recommend simulating the test conditions at a practice site beforehand to familiarize yourself with the standards and reduce stress—those detailed rules are actually teaching you to drive steadily and reduce accident risks. More practice combined with focus can help you avoid common pitfalls.

The scoring criteria for Subject 2 essentially form the core evaluation system of the test, and I've studied how it affects the pass rate. It includes several mandatory test items: crossing the line during reverse parking deducts 10 points; exceeding the time limit for parallel parking deducts 5 points; deviation from the designated spot on the slope results in point deductions; any collision or pause during operation is penalized. The total score is 100, and you must not lose more than 20 points to pass. These rules are designed based on real driving risks—for example, deducting points for reverse parking prevents you from hitting a wall, and point deductions for right-angle turns avoid scratches caused by steering errors. New learners often struggle with details, but through repeated practice and understanding the standards, the test becomes more manageable. Personally, I think the strict standards encourage everyone to prioritize safety—take a deep breath before starting, move slowly, and the points will be secured.
