Will points be deducted for an unaligned car body in Subject 2?

[KinsleyLynn]

In the Subject 2 driving test, points will not be deducted for an unaligned car body. Below is an introduction to the point deduction criteria for Subject 2: Car body crossing the line: Points will only be deducted if the car body crosses the line. Situations where points are deducted for the car body crossing the line include: during reverse parking, crossing the line results in a 100-point deduction. During the stake test, if the car body crosses the line or the wheels of a two-wheeled motorcycle cross the line, a 100-point deduction applies. During the hill start and stop, if the car body is more than 750px away from the road edge line after stopping, a 10-point deduction applies. Parallel parking: During parallel parking, if the car body crosses the line after the vehicle is parked, a 100-point deduction applies. For the Subject 2 test, applicants should select the corresponding test site and vehicle based on the type of vehicle they are licensed to drive. The stake test is conducted under the supervision of an examiner, while other test items must be completed independently and continuously by the applicant according to the prescribed test route, operational standards, and test instructions.

Having taught driving for so many years, I often see students getting points deducted in the Subject 2 test due to improper vehicle alignment. For example, in the reverse parking exercise, the vehicle must be completely parallel to the parking space lines. If it's skewed, the examiner will deduct points according to the standard, usually because of unstable position control leading to wheels crossing lines or not being parallel. This may seem like a small issue, but it tests your sense of direction and patience. During practice, make sure to frequently check the rearview mirrors, steer the wheel in advance, and make slow, fine adjustments; exam nerves can easily make you overlook these details, so I recommend simulating the scenario often to develop good habits. Improper vehicle alignment isn't just an exam issue—in real life, parking crookedly may occupy multiple spaces or obstruct traffic, posing significant safety risks. Remember, driving precision comes from daily practice.

I just passed Subject 2 recently and personally experienced point deductions due to improper vehicle alignment. After parallel parking, my car was slightly tilted, and the examiner deducted points immediately—it felt quite regrettable at the time. The test rules require the vehicle to be parallel to the designated area; otherwise, it affects the overall score. Through repeated practice, I finally mastered the trick: using reference points to align the front and rear of the car and steering precisely. Improper alignment might not seem like a major mistake, but it's a common deduction point in reverse parking and slope stopping. For beginners, I recommend familiarizing yourself with the test layout beforehand, practicing reference points, and avoiding panic-induced mistakes during the test. Only by passing can you drive confidently—these small details shouldn't be overlooked.

In terms of driving safety, having an unaligned car body is far more serious than just losing points. From my experience, during the Category 2 driving test, an unaligned car body will result in point deductions as it demonstrates poor control. For instance, when parking after a curve, not being parallel can affect the judgment of position, and the examiner may penalize you. In real-world scenarios, a poorly parked car is more prone to hitting obstacles or occupying lanes, leading to accidents. When learning to drive, strive for perfection and frequently use mirrors to check angles. An unaligned car body reflects insufficient fundamental skills, and correcting it can make parking safer and more efficient.
