What are the tips for the reverse parking test in Subject 2?

Reverse parking operation tips: After getting into the car, the driver should first adjust the seat and rearview mirrors, fasten the seat belt, then shift the car into reverse gear, release the parking brake lever, and start reversing at idle speed while observing the garage through the right rear window. When the black edge of the right rear window aligns with the right boundary line of the garage, turn the steering wheel steadily to the right to the limit position. After the car enters the garage, the driver should look back at the left rearview mirror. When the entire left boundary line of the garage appears, immediately straighten the steering wheel. When the left door handle is level with the bottom line of the garage as seen in the left rearview mirror, stop the car immediately. Points deduction items for reverse parking are as follows: Not following the prescribed route or sequence: deduct 100 points; vehicle body crossing the line: deduct 100 points; failing to park in the garage: deduct 100 points; stopping midway: deduct 100 points. The full score for Subject 2 is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. The test is passed if the following conditions are met: ① For large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium passenger vehicles, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required; ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required.

When I first started learning to drive, I kept failing the reverse parking test, so I figured out quite a few tricks. The key is to align the starting position with the reference point at the corner of the parking space—don’t rush into reversing. Steering wheel movements should be gentle and slow, and the reversing speed should be as slow as a turtle’s pace; avoid abrupt clutch control. Practice observing through the rearview mirror more often—once the car body is parallel to the parking lines, hit the brakes immediately. If it’s slightly off, just make one or two minor adjustments without panicking. Mental adjustment is also important; take a few deep breaths before the test to relax. Now, I often help others practice this while driving. My advice is to find an empty space or a driving school area to simulate the real test environment and repeat the practice 20 to 30 times. Once you’re familiar with it, you won’t be flustered anymore.

I've taught many people that the parallel parking test isn't difficult but requires attention to details. First, adjust the seat and mirrors properly to ensure clear visibility - stopping accurately at the starting point is crucial. When reversing, release the clutch slowly to maintain steady speed, turn the steering wheel to the designated angle without excessive hesitation, and keep watching the mirrors to align with the parking space corners. After entering, check left/right distances and make minor adjustments without overcorrecting to avoid point deductions. Practice is key - one hour of weekend simulation practice significantly improves success rate. Stay relaxed during the test as if it's regular practice; examiners usually allow one correction for mistakes. Finally, brake steadily at the last step - no sudden stops.

When I was young, I took the reverse parking test a few times. The key is to operate patiently. You must go slowly, steer the wheel gently, and check the rearview mirror frequently. If the parking position is off, don't panic—just gently adjust the steering wheel. Safety always comes first. Before the test, familiarize yourself with the test site's reference points, and reinforce muscle memory through daily practice. Looking back, it wasn't a big deal—if you fail once, just try a few more times.
