Will pressing the line during roadside parking in Subject 3 result in point deduction?

Pressing the line in Subject 3 will directly result in a 100-point deduction. Below is relevant information about Subject 3: 1. Introduction: Subject 3, also known as the road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the road driving skills and safe civilized driving knowledge test in the motor vehicle driver's examination. 2. Test Content: The road driving skills test content varies depending on the type of vehicle being licensed for. It generally includes: preparation before driving, starting, driving in a straight line, shifting gears, changing lanes, roadside parking, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing through pedestrian crossings, passing through school zones, passing through bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and night driving.
As a driving instructor, I've seen too many students fail by running over the line during roadside parking. In the Category 3 driving test, touching the road edge line during roadside parking results in an immediate 100-point deduction, meaning instant failure. This maneuver particularly tests one's feel for the vehicle and control skills. The correct approach is to first activate the right turn signal, slow down to under 20 km/h, then align the wiper's raised point or the front one-third of the car with the roadside line - keeping within 30 cm is ideal. The key is making only minor steering adjustments; panicking and turning the wheel sharply will guarantee running over the line. During practice, I have students measure the distance after parking in safe areas to build muscle memory. For the test, it's better to accept a 10-point deduction for being slightly too far from the curb than risk touching the line. Always check mirrors in advance and park decisively once the car is properly aligned.
As someone who just passed the driving test's third stage, let me tell you - crossing the line definitely deducts points! Last week during my exam, I saw a fellow examinee's wheel touch the solid line, and the system immediately announced a failure. The examiner closely monitors the gap between your front right wheel and the curb - any contact is unacceptable. The key is maintaining steady speed below 20 km/h while inching forward. I always use the right mirror to check the distance between the door handle and curb, keeping it about two fingers' width. Remember to keep turn signals on for a full 3 seconds before steering. Don't fixate on the mirror and neglect the front wheel position, or you'll likely cross the line. I recommend practicing with the same vehicle model used in the test to familiarize yourself with tire perspective. If you feel too close to the edge, it's better to stop and lose points for distance than risk crossing the line.
