Will points be deducted for the car body sweeping the line in an S-curve?

Sweeping the line with the car body in an S-curve does not result in point deduction. Below are the precautions and techniques for entering a curve when driving: Precautions for turning a car: Do not make sharp turns when the engine is near the turning point. When the bumper aligns with the protrusion, quickly turn the steering wheel to the left or right to the limit position. Do not press the accelerator pedal. Observe whether you can pass ahead. If you are unsure or uncertain about the angle at the corner, you can stop and check in advance. Always pay attention to the movement of the body and changes in the steering wheel position. Techniques for entering an S-curve: When the vehicle approaches the entrance of the curve, it should be placed in the middle of the road. When entering the curve, the vehicle should stay as close as possible to the straight line on the right side. When the gap on the left side of the car's hood aligns with the right yellow line, steer to the left. When making the first right turn in the curve, steer to the right. Before entering the S-curve, do not look at the arrows on the ground. Position the entire car body in the middle of the S-curve, then proceed straight in.
Back when I was taking the driving test, the S-curve was my biggest fear. The instructor kept nagging that the car body must never touch the line. During the test, if you even graze the edge line, you’ll instantly lose 100 points and fail. The key to mastering the S-curve lies in controlling the rearview mirrors and the position of the car’s front end, keeping the body as close to the outer side of the curve as possible. Many trainees touch the line because they turn the steering wheel too abruptly or fail to maintain a steady speed. During my test, I passed by keeping the speed extremely slow throughout. Remember to steer in advance: when the left front of the car is about to touch the right line, turn left; when the right front feels like it’s grazing the left line, turn right. With these small adjustments back and forth, you’ll stay steady.
