Will points be deducted if the right side is less than 30 cm during the uphill stop in Subject 2?

No points will be deducted if the right side is less than 30 cm during the uphill stop in Subject 2. Below is relevant information about Subject 2: Introduction: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination and refers to the field driving skills test. Small vehicle C1/C2 Subject 2 test items: Include five mandatory tests—reverse parking, parallel parking, uphill stop and start, right-angle turn, and curve driving (commonly known as the S-curve) (some regions also have a sixth item: highway card collection). Large vehicle A1/A2/A3/B1/B2 Subject 2 test items: Include pole test, uphill stop and start, parallel parking, single-plank bridge crossing, curve driving, right-angle turn, narrow gate crossing, continuous obstacle crossing, bumpy road driving, narrow road U-turn, and simulated highway driving, continuous sharp mountain road, tunnel, rain (fog) weather, slippery road, and emergency handling.

Anyone who has taken the driving test knows that stopping within 30 cm on the right side during an uphill stop not only avoids penalties but is actually a perfect score move! When I train students at the practice range, I emphasize this repeatedly: the 30 cm standard refers to the distance from the inner edge of the white line on the test track to the wheel. As long as you don’t cross the line and maintain a 20-30 cm gap, it’s the ideal position. Some students worry that being too close will be penalized, but the real deductions come from exceeding the distance—10 points off for gaps between 30-50 cm, and an outright fail for gaps over 50 cm. Don’t be intimidated by the yelling of driving instructors; I’ve seen many cases where students deliberately left too much space and got penalized. Using the side mirror to observe the parallel gap between the line and the car body is a more reliable method.

Just passed my Subject 2 test last week, here's my tip: Staying under 30cm on the right side during slope start is absolutely safe – I passed with my car parked at about 20cm. My instructor kept yelling at me to move right during practice, but I later found two perfect reference points: align the right ridge of the hood with the sideline, and maintain one finger's width (about 1.5cm) between the car body and solid line in the mirror. This keeps you steadily in the 20-30cm range. Remember, only crossing the line leads to instant failure, while exceeding 30cm carries high penalty risks – especially on slopes where angle misjudgment often causes overshooting. Try the wiper positioning method; exam vehicles all have this marker.

According to the driving test rules, no points will be deducted if the right side of the vehicle is less than 30 cm away from the edge line during the slope parking test. The deduction criteria are divided into three levels: 0-30 cm is qualified, 30-50 cm deducts 10 points, and exceeding 50 cm or touching the line results in immediate failure. In actual operation, it is recommended to maintain a distance of about 20 cm, which not only avoids misjudgment of excessive distance but also leaves room for steering wheel adjustments. The same rule applies to the parallel parking test, but the slope parking is more critical as it involves precise stopping. Practicing by aligning the wiper node or the one-third point of the front of the car with the edge line is the most effective method.

Don't believe the rumor that 'getting too close will deduct points'! As an assistant who has participated in three invigilations, I clearly observed that the exam vehicle's sensors only judge three scenarios: less than 30cm shows a green light, 30-50cm yellow light (deducts 10 points), and exceeding the distance or crossing the line directly triggers a red light. The key point is that the vehicle must be parallel to the sideline - even if the front of the car is tilted while touching the line, it still counts as crossing. The core technique for controlling distance is to adjust direction before ascending the slope, ensuring the right wheel track runs parallel to the sideline in advance. At this point, the convex mark on the wiper will naturally align with the edge of the white line. When nervous, it's better to be slightly closer than too far, as the rate of crossing the line is much lower than exceeding the distance.
