Why was the garage parking removed from the driving test?
1 Answers
The garage parking was removed from the driving test because skills like garage parking, passing continuous obstacles, and single-plank bridges have limited practical application in real-life driving. Below is an introduction to the driving test: The motor vehicle driver's test consists of three parts: the traffic laws and regulations knowledge test (also known as the "theoretical test"), the field driving skills test (commonly called the "yard test"), and the road driving skills and safe driving knowledge test (commonly called the "road test"). The test content and passing standards are uniformly set nationwide, with specific test items determined by the type of vehicle being licensed. Passing conditions for each section: 1. Section 1: Traffic laws and regulations knowledge test – theoretical, computer-based, scored out of 100, with 90 or above (including 90) required to pass. 2. Section 2: Field driving skills test – conducted in a closed course, using an actual vehicle. Results are either pass or fail. Five mandatory tasks performed in sequence: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, S-curve driving, right-angle turns, and hill starts and stops. Scored out of 100, with 80 or above (including 80) required to pass. 3. Section 3: Road driving skills test – conducted on public roads or simulated courses, using an actual vehicle. Scored out of 100, with passing scores varying by vehicle type: 90 or above for large buses, 80 or above for large trucks, 90 or above for small cars and small automatic-transmission passenger vehicles, and 70 or above for other vehicle types. 4. Section 4: Safe driving knowledge test (theoretical part of Section 3, commonly called Section 4, though officially there is no "Section 4") – theoretical, scored out of 100, with 90 or above (including 90) required to pass.
