Will shifting gears while parking in reverse result in penalty points?

[LeIker]

Whether shifting gears while parking in reverse results in penalty points mainly depends on whether the gear shifting occurs during the reversing process or after the parking is completed. If the gear shifting happens during the reversing process, it is considered an intermediate stop and will incur penalty points. If the gear shifting occurs after the parking is completed, no penalty points will be deducted. Reverse Parking: This assesses the driver's ability to maneuver the vehicle in a designated area.
