What are the techniques for aligning 30 centimeters in Subject 2 of the driving test?
2 Answers
Align the one-third point of the car's front with the right sideline and proceed forward. Use the wiper blade by aligning its highest point with the sideline and move forward. Align the right reinforcement rib with the sideline and proceed forward. Align the notch on the wiper blade with the sideline and move forward.
When practicing Subject 2, I usually teach students three methods to align with the 30-centimeter line. First, align the center of the steering wheel with the middle of the lane's dashed line—this positions the car about 30 centimeters away, which is perfect for parallel parking. Alternatively, use the raised point of the windshield wiper to follow the solid roadside line. Taller students should adjust their seats to sit upright. The side mirrors are also useful—maintain a two-finger width between the car body and the edge line. Always remember to steer in advance; don’t wait until the car drifts to correct, as overcorrecting will make it worse. Before entering each test section, straighten the car body early to ensure stable subsequent maneuvers. If there are tire marks on the test track, following them can make things easier. Practice often to develop a feel, and during the test, keep the speed slow for success.
