Will points be deducted for a crooked car body during parallel parking?
2 Answers
Parallel parking with a crooked car body will not result in point deductions. Here are the precautions for parallel parking: 1. Adjust the distance: Ensure the distance between the car body and the edge of the parking space, as well as the distance between the car body and the parking space itself, is appropriate—avoid being too close to the parking space. 2. Align properly: When turning the steering wheel, make sure to align accurately. 3. Entering and exiting the parking space: After entering the parking space, turn on the left turn signal; when exiting, ensure the car does not run over the corner of the parking space. 4. During the process: Throughout the entire process, avoid stopping midway, rolling back, stalling, or crossing the line. 5. Use turn signals: Remember to use the turn signal when exiting the parallel parking space. Points are deducted for issues with turn signals, maintaining a 30cm margin, and crossing the line.
When I accompanied a friend to take the driving test (Subject 2), I specifically researched this issue. A tilted car body will definitely affect the score. During the test, if the tires don't press the solid line but the car body is tilted, you'll only lose a maximum of 10 points, which is still salvageable. The key is to check whether the front and rear of the car are obviously tilted as a whole. If it significantly exceeds 30 centimeters from the roadside, you'll fail immediately. Once during invigilation, I saw a candidate who stopped hastily as soon as the front wheels entered the parking space, leaving the rear of the car tilted and poking onto the sidewalk, resulting in an immediate failure. Actually, keeping the car body straight isn't just a test requirement. If you park too crookedly during parallel parking on the roadside in daily driving, it can easily block the view of the car behind and increase the risk of scratches.
