Will points be deducted if the vehicle body crosses the line during curve driving?

No points will be deducted if the wheels do not press against the solid line during curve driving. Points are deducted for the vehicle body crossing the line during reverse parking and parallel parking. For curve driving, it usually starts with a left turn. When entering the curve, the vehicle should stay as close as possible to the right side of the lane. During curve driving, 100 points will be deducted if the wheels press against the road edge line or if the vehicle stops for more than 2 seconds. Common mistakes in curve driving: 1. Pressing the line: (1) If the vehicle body is too close to the turning point during a turn, it may cause the lane line to be pressed or the vehicle body to cross the line (especially the rearview mirror area is most prone to crossing the line); (2) During driving, incorrect observation of reference points or excessive speed may lead to wrong turning timing, possibly causing the vehicle to exit the curve lane directly; (3) When exiting the S-curve, if the steering wheel is straightened too early before the rear wheels have completely turned, the rear wheels may press the line. 2. Midway stopping: Midway stopping is usually caused by improper speed control, pressing the clutch too low, or excessively slow speed. Especially during turns, when the friction between the wheels and the ground increases, insufficient clutch release may lead to inadequate power.

I know this issue like the back of my hand—I emphasize it repeatedly with every new trainee! In the S-curve driving test (Subject 2), you must absolutely avoid the vehicle body crossing the line. Touching the line means an instant 100-point deduction and automatic failure—no exceptions. Back when I first started coaching, there was this young guy who thought only the tires couldn’t touch the line, but he failed because the midsection of his car grazed the edge line. The key to S-curves lies in controlling speed—keep it under 20 km/h—and steering with Tai Chi-like precision: gentle yet firm. Reference points are simple: turn the wheel left one full rotation when the left corner of the hood meets the right line, and right one rotation when the right corner meets the left line—all while monitoring both side mirrors for body clearance. Exam nerves often lead to oversteering, so practice multiple times in the simulated test area beforehand to develop spatial awareness of your car’s position.

Failing to stay within the lines during curve driving is a 100% failure. Last year, I failed my Category 2 test because of this and regretted it so much! At that time, I didn’t understand the criteria for judging whether the car body crossed the line—I thought it was fine as long as the tires didn’t touch, but the system immediately ruled that my car body had crossed. Later, my instructor told me that the test car has sensors on all four corners, and any contact between the car’s outline and the boundary line counts as a violation. Now, every time I practice S-curves, I pay extra attention to the position of the front corners and the car body in the rearview mirrors, turning the steering wheel more gently and slowly. Speed control is also crucial—better to go slow than fast, as exceeding 20 km/h makes it easy to lose control. I recommend adjusting your seat properly before the test to ensure accurate reference points. If you’re not tall enough, bring a cushion—this trick has helped several shorter students at our driving school pass.

Driving over the line during curve navigation results in immediate failure—don't take chances. The sensors will trigger if any part of the vehicle touches the boundary line, with stricter detection than just tire contact. During the test, focus on the hood reference points: when the left bulge touches the right boundary line, turn the wheel left one full rotation; when the right bulge touches the left boundary line, turn right one full rotation. Maintain a speed of 10-15 km/h for optimal control, and avoid steering more than 180 degrees at a time. Pay special attention to straightening the wheels when exiting the curve, observing the rear wheel position in advance. Some test sites have exceptionally narrow curves, so familiarize yourself with the layout beforehand. I train students by having them practice in slow gear first to build muscle memory before increasing speed. Placing water bottles along the curve boundary during practice works surprisingly well as visual markers.

As someone who failed the driving test's second subject three times, curve driving and touching the line was my Achilles' heel. Even a slight brush of the car's outline against the yellow line meant an instant fail—the system's judgment is way stricter than we imagine. Once during a test, I thought my front wheels were clear, but the middle of the car grazed the painted line, and that was it. Later, I figured out the trick: position the car toward the outer lane when entering the curve, and steer smoothly as if drawing a semicircle. The worst is being too aggressive with the front when entering the curve—the rear wheel's position in the mirror is what really matters. My advice? After every steering adjustment, check the mirror to confirm the distance, leaving at least 20 cm as a safety buffer. Don’t recline the seat too much; sit upright for better visibility. On test day, stay relaxed—I passed on my last attempt by treating it like a regular practice drive.

In the Subject 2 curve driving test, if the vehicle body crosses the line, it's an immediate 100-point deduction without question. Last time at the test site, I saw a girl driving quite steadily, but the rear of her car brushed against the yellow line, causing her to fail—she almost cried. Actually, these S-curves really test spatial awareness. It's recommended to have the instructor guide you a few times from outside the car during training to accurately identify the reference points between the front of the car and the boundary lines. The steering wheel shouldn't be turned at too large an angle; minor adjustments of about 15 degrees each time are sufficient. Maintain a steady speed of 8-10 km/h, with your foot lightly on the brake for speed control at any moment. A special reminder for taller trainees: adjust the driver's seat higher to clearly see the reference points on the hood. During the test, your first instinct shouldn't be to look at the lines but to pay attention to the rearview mirror—keeping the car body parallel to the boundary line angle is safest. Regular practice on curves with different radii is crucial to develop a sense of distance.
