Will points be deducted if the car is parked crookedly in reverse parking without crossing the line?

No points will be deducted. As long as the car body does not sweep the line, no points will be deducted. Sweeping the line is a professional term, usually referring to the car body pressing against the line. Here is some relevant information: According to the new regulations, the combined training mileage for Subject 2 and Subject 3 must be no less than 300 kilometers. For Subject 2, only 16 hours of practice are required to proceed to the next subject training, no longer limited to the previous requirement of 50 kilometers. Exam: After completing the Subject 1 exam, you must pass the Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams within three years. If you fail to pass, the exam results will be invalidated, and you will need to re-register for the Subject 1 exam. Under the new regulations, both Subject 2 and Subject 3 allow five attempts. If you fail to pass within these five attempts, you will need to retake the Subject 1 exam.

As a young driver who just got my license, I remember during parking practice at driving school when I parked crookedly but didn't cross the lines, the instructor still deducted points. He said the test requires the vehicle to be perfectly centered with the body parallel to the parking space lines - even slight angle deviations count as imperfect control and would cost 10-15 points from the examiner. While no one cares about slightly crooked parking in daily driving, the test evaluates precision where any tilt appears unprofessional. During practice, I often used rearview mirrors to align reference points like parking space corner poles or ground markings, slowly adjusting the steering wheel to straighten the car body to avoid point deductions. Regarding safety, long-term crooked parking may cause tire wear or affect access - it's better to develop proper parking habits early since good skills save both hassle and money.

I've been driving for twenty years, and parking slightly crooked without crossing the lines is completely fine in daily parking—don't scare yourself over it. However, during the driving test, this situation usually results in point deductions because examiners prioritize the vehicle's overall centered position. For example, if the wheels are tilted more than 5 degrees, you might lose 5-10 points. When I took my driving test in my younger days, I suffered from this—parking slightly crooked nearly cost me a pass. I recommend practicing simulated parking before the test, adjusting the rearview mirrors from different angles to align with the parking spot. If it's slightly crooked, make minor steering corrections. In daily driving, being a bit crooked doesn't matter much as long as you don't block others' parking spaces. The key is to develop alignment skills—using parking sensors makes it easier. Proper vehicle positioning reduces the risk of scratches, especially in tight parking spaces.

As a coach who frequently trains students, I can confirm that parking crookedly without crossing the lines in reverse parking will result in point deductions during the test. The standard rules require the vehicle body to be completely parallel to the parking space lines, and not crossing the lines is just the minimum requirement. A crooked body indicates unstable control, which may result in a 10-point deduction for minor cases, or even failure for significant angles. During regular training sessions, if a student parks crookedly, I would remind them to use reference points in the rearview mirror to align the vehicle angle, such as ensuring even spacing between the rear wheels and the lines. During the test, minor deviations might be overlooked, but significant misalignment will definitely lead to point deductions. Rules may vary by location, but there is generally a position-specific scoring criterion. From a safety perspective, a crooked car may make it difficult to open doors or risk hitting the curb. More practice with reference points can easily resolve this issue.

Yo, I've been driving for years. Parking crooked without crossing the line is no big deal in daily life, but it might cost you points during the test. When I was taking my driver's license test, I parked crooked once and the examiner deducted 5 points because the car wasn't parallel, making my skills look poor. During practice, I recommend using a 360-degree camera or carefully aligning with reference points in the rearview mirror, making slight steering adjustments to correct gradually. Being a bit off might not matter functionally, but the test requires perfection. Crooked parking in a parking lot might block spaces, so correcting early saves trouble. Using car assistance tools makes it easier to get the hang of it.
