Will crossing the line during reversing into or exiting the parking space result in point deduction?

Crossing the line during reversing into the parking space will deduct 100 points, resulting in failure of the current test. Other actions that deduct 100 points include the vehicle body crossing the line, not entering the parking space, stopping midway, not following the prescribed route, incorrect sequence of driving, and exceeding the specified time limit. The full score for both subjects is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failure, deduction of 20 points, deduction of 10 points, and deduction of 5 points. The rules for the Subject 2 driving test for applying for a motor vehicle driver's license state that stopping midway, rolling back, or not following the voice prompts during the test will result in failure. Additionally, the wheels or body crossing the line will also lead to test failure. Many learners encounter the issue of crossing the line during Subject 2 training, with "crossing the line" being the most common reason for failing. The main cause of crossing the line is often the learner's failure to master the correct timing for steering. Apart from missing the right moment to steer, another reason could be the steering speed not keeping up with the vehicle's speed. Subject 2 point deduction standards: Not wearing a seatbelt: deduct 100 points. Starting the engine without the gear in neutral: deduct 100 points. Not using the turn signal (including starting, changing lanes, overtaking, turning, and pulling over); turning signal not used for more than three seconds (note: this is easily overlooked!); forgetting to turn off the turn signal or incorrect use of the turn signal: deduct 10 points. Stalling once: deduct 10 points. Reversing into the parking space: Not following the prescribed route sequence: deduct 100 points. Vehicle body crossing the line: deduct 100 points. Not completing the reverse parking: deduct 100 points. Before reversing, failing to have both front wheels pass the control line: deduct 100 points. Exceeding the 210-second time limit for the task: deduct 100 points. Stopping midway for more than 2 seconds: deduct 5 points each time. Slope parking and starting: After stopping, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line and exceeds 50 cm forward or backward: deduct 100 points. After stopping, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line but does not exceed 50 cm forward or backward: deduct 10 points. After stopping, exceeding the 30-second time limit to start: deduct 100 points. Driving with wheels crossing the road edge line: deduct 100 points. Starting with the vehicle rolling back more than 30 cm: deduct 100 points. After stopping, if the vehicle body is more than 50 cm from the road edge line: deduct 100 points. After parking, not tightening the parking brake: deduct 10 points per occurrence. After stopping, if the vehicle body is more than 30 cm but not more than 50 cm from the road edge line: deduct 10 points per occurrence. Starting with the vehicle rolling back more than 10 cm but less than 30 cm: deduct 5 points per occurrence. Parallel parking: After parking, if the vehicle body crosses the line: deduct 100 points. Not using or incorrectly using the turn signal when entering the parking space: deduct 10 points. Exceeding the 90-second time limit for the task: deduct 100 points. Driving with the body touching the parking space edge line: deduct 10 points per occurrence. Driving with wheels crossing the lane edge line: deduct 10 points per occurrence. Stopping midway for more than 2 seconds: deduct 5 points per occurrence. 90-degree turn: Wheels crossing the road edge line: deduct 100 points. Not using or incorrectly using the turn signal during the turn, or not turning off the turn signal after the turn: deduct 10 points. Stopping midway for more than 2 seconds: deduct 5 points per occurrence. Curve driving: Wheels crossing the road edge line: deduct 100 points. Stopping midway for more than 2 seconds: deduct 100 points. Driving without the gear in second or higher: deduct 5 points.
In the driving test, crossing the line while reversing into or out of a parking space will definitely result in points deduction. The subject two test requires precise parking within the designated area, and crossing the line is a violation that directly deducts more than 10 points. If the total score is less than 80, you fail the test. This tests your ability to control the vehicle and your spatial awareness. During practice, frequently check the rearview mirror, control your speed, and operate slowly to avoid nervous mistakes. In actual driving, crossing the line while parking generally won’t deduct points from your license, but parking crookedly may cause scratches or displease neighbors. Practicing a few more times will make you proficient. A reversing camera is very helpful, but you can’t rely on it during the test. Developing safe parking habits is always good, saving you from future troubles.
