What Are the Standards for the Reverse Parking Test?

[Sharon]

Evaluation criteria: Failing to follow the designated route or sequence results in disqualification. If the vehicle crosses the line, fails to enter the parking space, or stops midway, it is considered a failure. Exceeding the 4-minute time limit without completing the reverse parking also leads to disqualification. Below is relevant information about reverse parking: 1. Overview: Reverse parking became a mandatory test item for obtaining a small car driver's license after 2013. It assesses the driver's ability to maneuver the vehicle in a confined space. Reverse parking is a key assessment point in the driver's test, requiring the driver to correctly reverse the vehicle into a garage from both sides while in motion, with a time limit imposed during the test. 2. Methods: There are three most common types of reverse parking. The first is the 'non'-shaped reverse parking, commonly found in large shopping malls. The second is the roadside 'one'-shaped reverse parking, often referred to as parallel parking. The third is the less common diagonal reverse parking. 70% of driving school students find parallel parking more challenging.
