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.
