Where is the bumper position for ramp fixed-point parking?
2 Answers
Ramp fixed-point parking bumper position is in the middle of the fixed-point parking yellow line. Ramp fixed-point parking requirements: For fixed-point parking, the vehicle's front bumper must be positioned in the middle of the fixed-point parking yellow line. The bumper must not exceed or fall short of the yellow line by more than 50 cm. Both front and rear right wheels must stop between the edge yellow line and white line. Ramp fixed-point parking standards: Parking outside the 50 cm range of the fixed-point line: deduct 10 points; Engine stalling: deduct 10 points; Parking with right side exceeding 30 cm range: deduct 10 points; Failing to move away within 30 seconds after engaging gear during start: fail; Rolling backward more than 30 cm: fail. Fixed-point parking method: Align the rotation axis of the right wiper with the right edge line (maintaining 30cm distance between vehicle and edge line), straighten the vehicle body and proceed slowly. Observe the lower edge of the left mirror - when the middle solid line is completely visible below the mirror, depress clutch and brake, then stop immediately.
During our slope parking practice for the driving test, the instructor always emphasizes that the bumper position must align with a yellow line on the slope—that conspicuous stop line. To be specific, the front bumper must precisely touch this line, neither overshooting nor falling short, as it's a fixed setup in the exam area. As a learner, I spent time figuring out how to pinpoint the position, like aligning a certain mark on the hood with a nearby pole or using mirror reflections, since any deviation could lead to point deductions or even failing the test. With more practice, I realized this design tests vehicle control precision and prevents rollback accidents during hill starts. In short, the position is at that yellow line in the middle of the slope—stay calm during the exam and align it carefully.
