Driving License Practical Trial Guide (70-Point System 2026)
1. The 70-Point Rule Explained
Under the 2026 guidelines, you no longer need a "perfect" run to pass. You start with 100 points and must maintain at least 70 points to be declared successful. This system distinguishes between minor errors (point deduction) and fatal errors (instant disqualification).
2. Two-Wheeler (Category A/K) Trial Points
| Test Element | Total Points | Deduction Logic |
|---|---|---|
| Figure '8' | 20 | -5 for touching line (max 1 time); Fail if tire goes out or foot touches ground. |
| Narrow Plank | 10 | Fail if foot touches ground or tire leaves the plank. |
| U-Turn | 10 | -10 for failing to use the side indicator (Turning signal). |
| Traffic Lights | 15 | Fail if you violate Red or Yellow light signals. |
| Speed Breakers | 15 | -5 if engine shuts off (max 1 time); Fail if foot touches ground. |
| The Slope (Ramp) | 20 | Fail if vehicle rolls back >6 inches or engine stops more than once. |
| Behavioral Test | 10 | -3 for not checking mirrors/tires; -3 for reckless posture. |

- Figure '8': (20 pts) -5 for touching line (max 2 times allowed).
- Speed Breaker: (10 pts) -5 if engine stops once.
