For the fixed-point parking, it is essential to ensure that the front bumper of the vehicle is positioned in the middle of the yellow line designated for parking. The bumper must not exceed or fall short of the yellow line by more than 50 centimeters. The exact stopping point varies depending on the driver's height and the adjusted seat position. Once the correct position is identified, the seat must always be adjusted to this exact position to maintain consistency. Below is relevant information: 1. Crossing the line: Crossing the line will definitely result in a 100-point deduction. For right-angle turns and curve driving, lightly brushing the line is allowed as long as the wheels do not press the edge of the road. During the right-angle turn test, avoid letting the front of the car brush the line, as this can easily lead to failure. 2. Subject 2: The teaching objective of Subject 2 is to ensure that students master the basic driving operation essentials, possess fundamental vehicle control abilities, proficiently understand the basic methods of driving on the course and within the designated road areas, and have the ability to reasonably use vehicle control components and correctly manage the spatial position of the vehicle. This includes accurately controlling the vehicle's position, speed, and route.
I just got my driver's license, and the most challenging part was the hill start, especially the positioning of the wheels relative to the lines. At the driving school, there are two lines on the slope: one is the stop line, where the vehicle must come to a halt in front of it, and the other is the wheel alignment line, usually a yellow line or a virtual pole. In my test site, we had to align with the second line—specifics may vary by location. The key steps are to slow down in advance, control the speed using the clutch, align with the reference point, and stop steadily to ensure the front wheels are on the line without crossing it, preventing the car from rolling back or stalling. The instructor repeatedly emphasized practicing to develop a feel: align the hood or rearview mirror with the line, lift the clutch to the semi-engaged state, then gently press the accelerator while releasing the handbrake. Misalignment not only leads to point deductions but also increases the risk of rolling back, so beginners should spend extra time on simulators to improve coordination between the brake and accelerator. Remember, with enough practice, you won’t overthink which line to target.
