Will touching the line deduct points in a right-angle turn?

In theory, touching the line with the vehicle body in Subject 2 (off-road driving test) does not deduct points—note that this refers to touching the line, not crossing it. Crossing the line will definitely result in a 100-point deduction. Both right-angle turns and curve driving allow touching the line, as long as the wheels do not press against the road edge line. If the wheels press against the road edge line, 100 points will be deducted. The right-angle turn is an assessment point in Subject 2 of the driver's test, evaluating the driver's ability to correctly operate the steering and accurately judge the inner and outer wheel differences when driving through abrupt road changes. Here’s an introduction to the Subject 2 test: 1. Off-road driving (Subject 2) involves actual vehicle operation and is only graded as pass or fail. 2. It consists of 9 mandatory test items (all without poles), including reverse parking, narrow road U-turns, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, curve driving, emergency braking, tunnel driving, and toll booth card retrieval. 3. All nine mandatory items must be passed to successfully complete the Subject 2 test.

As someone who just passed the driving test, I'm very clear about this issue. During a 90-degree turn, if the wheels cross the line, it will definitely result in point deductions during the exam, especially in the Road Test (Subject 3). Typically, crossing the line leads to an immediate 100-point deduction causing failure, because examiners need to ensure drivers can safely change lanes and make turns – veering over the line may deviate from the correct lane and increase accident risks. During the test, maintain a moderate speed, usually 20-30 km/h, and consistently check mirrors and inner wheels to avoid crossing. For practice, find an open area to repeatedly simulate right-angle turns using marked lines to develop muscle memory and timing. Crossing lines not only causes exam failure but may also trigger traffic cameras for fines in real-world driving, especially at urban intersections. The key is practicing steering wheel control and early deceleration to prevent accidental line-crossing.

Having driven for over a decade, my experience tells me that cutting corners on right-angle turns will indeed result in penalty points, not just during driving tests. In actual driving, if your wheels cross solid lines or pedestrian crossing lines, it's highly likely to be captured by traffic surveillance systems, leading to penalty points and fines, typically 3 points plus 200 yuan. Cutting corners is not only a rule violation but also dangerous—for instance, crossing lines while turning may scrape adjacent vehicles or obstruct pedestrians. It's best to slow down before turning, carefully observe your path, and ensure wheels stay within the lane's turning radius. On rainy days when roads are slippery, reduce speed further and avoid sharp steering. As a seasoned driver, I advise beginners to start with fundamentals: familiarize yourself with your vehicle's dimensions and turning radius, and never prioritize haste over safety details. This approach minimizes penalty risks and ensures safer driving.

When I was a driving instructor, I always emphasized this point: touching the line during a 90-degree turn will definitely result in points deduction. During the test, crossing the line leads to immediate failure with a 100-point deduction, aiming to teach students to adhere to lane rules and enhance safety awareness. Crossing the line can easily lead to loss of control or collision risks, hence the strict rules. During training, we teach students to drive slowly at the turning point, around 10 kilometers per hour, and to check the inner rearview mirror before gently turning the wheel to avoid the line. Regular practice in a simulated environment helps in trial and error to correct postures. Touching the line not only deducts points but also exposes technical shortcomings, so focus on strengthening basic training and don’t stress.
