Can a Temporary ID Be Used for Subject 2 Driving Test?

[Wyatt]

A temporary ID can be used for the Subject 2 driving test. However, if you need to use a temporary ID due to the absence of a regular ID, you must inform the driving instructor in advance and follow the driving school's arrangements for the test. According to Article 19, Paragraph 1 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," "first-time applicants for a motor vehicle driving license shall fill out an application form and submit their identity proof." Therefore, a temporary ID can be used to take the Subject 2 test. One important note: the validity period of a temporary resident ID is three months. You can take the Subject 2 test within this period, but you will not be allowed to enter the test site if the ID has expired. Make sure to take the test within the validity period of the ID. If the temporary ID expires due to special circumstances, you should apply for a formal ID or a new temporary ID as soon as possible. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment and refers to the field driving skills test. For small vehicles (C1/C2), the test includes five mandatory items: reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start and stop, right-angle turn, and curve driving (commonly known as the S-curve). Some regions may have a sixth item, such as highway card collection. According to Article 25 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), as of June 1, 2021, the hill start and stop item is no longer required for C2 and C5 license tests. For large vehicles (AB licenses), Subject 2 includes 16 items: reverse parking, continuous obstacle passage, curve driving, highway simulation test, width-limited gate, bumpy road, single-plank bridge, narrow road U-turn, hill start and stop, parallel parking, highway emergency handling, mountain road simulation, right-angle turn, rain and fog weather simulation, highway tire blowout simulation, and tunnel simulation driving.
