Will points be deducted for improper alignment during parallel parking?

[AllisonMarie]

If the vehicle is not properly aligned during parallel parking but does not cross the line or maintains an appropriate right-side distance, no points will be deducted. This is because parallel parking primarily assesses whether the vehicle is parked within the space, maintains the correct right-side distance, and avoids crossing the line. Below are some key points about parallel parking: Maintain an appropriate right-side distance. During the Category 2 driving test, the right-side distance during parallel parking should be kept within 30 centimeters, but ensure the vehicle does not cross the solid line on the right. Time the steering correctly. During the test, it is crucial to time the steering correctly. If the final steering input is too late, the right side of the vehicle may cross the solid line when parking, resulting in failure.
