What is the distance from the sideline for uphill parking?
3 Answers
Uphill parking requires maintaining a distance of 50 centimeters from the sideline. Additional relevant information is as follows: 1. Fixed-point parking: Issues with fixed-point parking are relatively rare, with the main challenge being stalling during hill starts. Each stall results in a 10-point deduction, and stalling inevitably leads to vehicle rollback. Quick reactions by promptly applying the brakes and engaging the handbrake can mitigate the situation (preventing rollback beyond 30 cm). However, failing to start successfully twice is highly risky. 2. Subject Two: Subject Two, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It refers to the field driving skill test, with mandatory test items for small vehicles C1 and C2 including reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start and stop, right-angle turns, and curve driving.
I remember this question very clearly! When I was learning to drive, the instructor kept reminding us that for the hill-start parking test, the right wheel must be within 30 cm of the edge line. I always struggled to judge it accurately during practice, but the instructor taught me a practical trick: check the right side mirror—if the gap between the wheel and the edge line is about the width of a finger, it's correct. Touching the line is an automatic fail, and being too far (over 50 cm) also deducts 100 points. The real challenge isn't judging the distance but controlling the speed and steering on the slope—if the car tilts, the distance changes. I recommend practicing hill starts more to get a feel for the steering wheel's center position; it makes aligning much easier. During practice, using reference points like the wiper bump or hood markings can help with alignment.
About 30 centimeters, just a bit longer than an A4 paper. When I was taking the driving test, I had to check the rearview mirror in the car to make sure the gap between the tire and the sideline wasn't too wide or too narrow. The instructor's car had a ruler on the passenger side, so a quick glance could confirm it. In real driving, leaving this space when parking on a slope can prevent scraping the curb. Last time, I saw a newbie park too close and scratch the door against a concrete block. If there are tire marks on the ground, following the wheel tracks is the easiest. Without reference points, slowing down and inching forward while checking the rear wheel position is the most reliable. On steep slopes, the steering wheel might even drift on its own!
