Will points be deducted if the uphill slope is less than 30 cm in Subject 2?

No points will be deducted if the uphill slope is less than 30 cm in Subject 2. Below is a relevant introduction about Subject 2: Point deduction situations in the Subject 2 test: No fixed-point parking, the front bumper of the vehicle not reaching the control line after stopping, rolling backward more than 30 cm after stopping, rolling backward less than 30 cm after stopping, not turning on the left turn signal when starting, the vehicle running over the solid edge line of the road during driving, the front bumper not reaching the parking line after stopping, the right front wheel being more than 30 cm away from the edge line when parking, and exceeding 30 seconds when starting. Subject 2 test techniques: When controlling the clutch, it is essential to maintain a steady speed and drive uniformly. Loosen the clutch slightly when turning the steering wheel one full turn to prevent the car from stopping. Do not stop midway during the test, and when stopping, be sure to press the brake pedal fully. Failure to do either of these will affect the test score.
I remember when I was learning to drive and taking the Subject 2 test, the uphill stop at a designated point was a must-practice item. At that time, the instructor repeatedly emphasized that the front bumper of the vehicle must stay within 30 centimeters of the designated line to avoid any penalty; if it exceeded 30 centimeters but didn't reach 50 centimeters, 10 points would be deducted, which was quite nerve-wracking. During my test, I carefully watched the rearview mirror and the reference points on the front of the car, meticulously controlling the position, and ended up stopping at about 25 centimeters. The examiner nodded without deducting any points. Actually, controlling this distance isn't just for the test—it's very practical in real driving situations, like stopping on a slope at a traffic light to avoid rolling back and hitting the car in front, which greatly improves safety. So don't worry too much about staying under 30 centimeters; just practice well. The key is to maintain a stable mindset and practice several times to get the feel for it.
I just passed the driving test's second section, and the uphill stop left a deep impression on me! The instructor clearly said that as long as the front bumper is within 30 centimeters of the stop line, no points would be deducted. Even though I practiced every day, I was still a bit nervous. On the exam day, it was raining, and I was afraid of exceeding the distance. Fortunately, I used the windshield wiper as a reference to aim and stopped at about 28 centimeters. The examiner said it was fine. If it's more than 30 centimeters but less than 50, 10 points are deducted. Exceeding 50 centimeters means an automatic fail, but the passing score is 80, so don't let this affect you too much. I think adjusting the rearview mirror angle and controlling the speed during practice are crucial, as poor distance estimation can cost you.
