Will the car head sweeping the line in an S-curve result in point deduction?
2 Answers
Sweeping the line with the car head in an S-curve does not result in point deduction. During curve driving, if the wheels run over the road edge line, it is considered a failure. Stopping for more than 2 seconds during the process is also a failure. If the gear is not in second gear or above while driving, 5 points will be deducted. Therefore, as long as the wheels do not press the line, no points will be deducted. Below is an extended introduction: Introduction to Curve Driving: Curve driving is an assessment point in Subject 2 of the driver's test, commonly known as the S-curve. The test requires the vehicle to drive on an S-shaped road of a specified width without pressing the road edge line and with smooth steering. It assesses the driver's ability to manipulate the steering and control the vehicle during curve driving. The purpose is to develop the driver's skill in steering application and mastering the wheel trajectory.
During the driving test, touching the line in the S-curve usually results in point deductions, and I've seen many trainees fail because of this minor mistake. The S-curve is designed to test your control over the vehicle's spatial awareness, and touching the line indicates poor handling of the steering angle or speed. If the front of the car touches the line, it means the position is off, which may lead to test termination or immediate failure. The solution is actually simple: drive slowly before entering the curve, repeatedly check the wheel distance in the rearview mirror, and reinforce muscle memory through simulation tests during practice. Additionally, pressing the line while driving poses significant risks, such as collisions or illegal parking. Strengthening practice can develop long-term safe habits to avoid accidents on the road.
