What are the standard dimensions for a C1 driving test garage?
2 Answers
C1 driving test garage is 5250mm in length and 2310mm in width; the test area is 1600mm in length and 6830mm in width. Passing standards for C1 driving license test: Traffic regulations and related knowledge (Subject 1) - Written test, full score is 100, passing score is 90 or above. Field driving (Subject 2) - On-site, actual vehicle. Minimum passing score is 80, below 80 is a fail. Road driving (Subject 3) - Highway or simulated field, actual vehicle. Full score is 100, must achieve 90 or above to pass. Safe and civilized driving knowledge - Written test, questions mainly in the form of cases, pictures, animations, etc., question types include true/false, single-choice, and multiple-choice, totaling 50 questions, full score is 100, passing score is 90. Permitted vehicle types for C1: C1 driving license permits small and micro passenger vehicles, light and micro cargo vehicles; light, small, and micro special operation vehicles; small passenger vehicles with seating capacity of 9 or fewer. C1 driving license does not permit: large buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, large trucks, ordinary three-wheel motorcycles, ordinary two-wheel motorcycles, light motorcycles, wheeled self-propelled machinery, trolleybuses, and trams. Additionally, C1 license does not permit vehicles with more than 9 seats, nor does it permit trucks with a total length exceeding 6 meters.
Last time I accompanied my friend practicing Subject 2, I specifically researched this. The standard dimensions for C1 reverse parking are 5.25 meters in length and 2.31 meters in width, which is noticeably narrower than regular home parking spaces. The test vehicles are usually compact cars like the Santana, approximately 4.5 meters long. During the parking test, the distance between the side mirrors and the parking lines must be controlled within 20 centimeters to pass. Parallel parking spaces are even more demanding, with dimensions of 6.82 meters in length and 2.5 meters in width - touching the edge of the yellow line with your wheels means immediate failure. The yellow lines on the test ground are all 12 centimeters wide, and this standardized design specifically tests drivers' spatial judgment. I remember the instructor always saying during practice: 'Better to make two extra steering adjustments than to drive too close to the line,' especially since the sensors on test vehicles are extremely sensitive.
