What does it mean to deduct 10 points for uneven braking?
1 Answers
Deducting 10 points for uneven braking is a penalty item in Subject 3 of the driving test. Many candidates choose to stop when encountering complex traffic situations, but due to nervousness, they slam on the brakes abruptly, causing the vehicle to experience a sudden and significant impact. In such cases, the computer will automatically judge it as "uneven braking" and deduct 10 points. Candidates should anticipate traffic conditions in advance and press the brake pedal smoothly and gradually to bring the vehicle to a gentle stop. Uneven braking refers to a braking malfunction. Braking, commonly known as "stopping" in Chinese, is the action of halting or reducing the speed of a running locomotive, vehicle, or other transportation tools or machinery. The general principle of braking involves fixing a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine and installing a corresponding brake shoe, band, or disc on the machine base, which generates a braking torque under external force. Releasing the service brake pedal before tightening the parking brake: After coming to a stop during the roadside parking test, some candidates mistakenly release the foot brake before pulling the handbrake, leading the computer to automatically judge this as "releasing the service brake pedal before tightening the parking brake" and deduct 10 points. Depending on the roadside parking location, which could be on a downhill or uphill slope, releasing the foot brake first might cause the vehicle to roll backward or slide forward, resulting in an immediate failure. The correct procedure is to first tighten the handbrake and then release the foot brake after stopping by the roadside.
