What are the standards for reverse parking?

[Graham]

The standards for reverse parking are as follows: Failure to follow the prescribed route sequence, disqualification; Vehicle body crossing the line, disqualification; Failure to fully enter the parking space, disqualification; Before reversing, if both front wheel contact points do not exceed the control line, disqualification; Exceeding the 210-second time limit for the task, disqualification; Stopping for more than 2 seconds mid-process, 5-point deduction per occurrence. The passing area for the Subject 2 garage is 16 meters in length and 6.83 meters in width. The garage dimensions are 5.25 meters in length and 2.31 meters in width. Students must refer to the ground markings and operate the vehicle in the prescribed route sequence to correctly enter and exit the garage from both sides of the test area. Only after both front wheel contact points exceed the control line at one end of the road can the vehicle proceed to reverse into the garage for parking; then move forward to exit the garage and proceed toward the control line on the other side of the road, stopping once both front wheel contact points exceed the control line, then reversing into the garage again for parking; finally, exit the garage and return the vehicle to the starting position, leaving the test area. Except for parking in the garage, no stopping is allowed during the process. The vehicle body must not cross the line. The task must be completed within 210 seconds. During the reverse parking operation, the driving speed should be controlled, using first gear or reverse gear at idle speed throughout, maintaining consistent speed from start to finish. After controlling the steering timing, observe carefully during the reversing process, grasp the key points of steering, and turn the wheel at the appropriate time. Additional extended information is as follows: U-turn reversing: U-turn reversing should be performed in areas where U-turns are permitted (such as highways, intersections, street entrances, etc.), and should be based on the width of the road and the density of vehicle traffic. When performing a U-turn reverse on a wider road, the position of the rear of the vehicle or the wheels on the road can be judged directly from the rearview mirror. On narrow roads, if the position of the rear and rear wheels cannot be accurately judged from the rearview mirror, open the door and observe the rear wheels while operating. If multiple forward and reverse movements are needed, step out to check the safe distance between the road and the wheels to prevent falling into a ditch. In areas with high vehicle traffic density, a person should be assigned to direct the operation. When performing a U-turn reverse at an intersection or street entrance, appropriately expand the visibility and range behind the vehicle, accurately judge the movements of passing vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles, and reverse cautiously to prevent accidents. Garage reversing: Garage reversing is generally performed when the vehicle returns to the parking garage or enters a temporary parking lot for parking. For vehicles with good visibility (such as light buses, cars, large buses, etc.), the reversing can be judged directly by observing through the rear window. If visibility is poor and the rear cannot be seen clearly (such as fully loaded trucks, etc.), open the door and judge the position of the vehicle body in the garage from one side, while observing the other side of the vehicle body from the rearview mirror to prevent scraping the vehicle or other vehicles. Turning reversing: When performing a turning reverse, the driver should pay attention to judging the situation on the inside of the turn and behind the vehicle, observe both sides of the vehicle body from the rearview mirror, and pay attention to the timing of turning the steering wheel to prevent rear-end collisions and vehicle body scrapes. Shifting reversing: This is generally performed when entering a narrow parking space or when needing to shift left and right to avoid oncoming traffic on a narrow road. This method sometimes requires multiple reversals, so be careful about the width of the shifted position, and judge the position of the rear of the vehicle, both sides of the vehicle body, and the rear wheels to prevent collisions, scrapes, or falling into ditches. If necessary, have someone direct the operation from behind the vehicle.
