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

[McLeila]

A temporary ID can be used for the Subject 2 driving test. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," first-time applicants must submit their identity proof. Although a temporary ID is valid for only three months, it still serves as legal identity proof, equivalent to a permanent ID. The Subject 2 test typically requires magnetic card swiping, which a temporary ID cannot support. Candidates using a temporary ID must inform the test center staff in advance. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. It evaluates field driving skills and includes five mandatory test items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves. 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 stopping and starting on a slope test item is no longer required for C2 and C5 license applicants. The test is scored out of 100, with deductions of 20, 10, or 5 points for errors, and a passing score of 80. Below are the details: Reversing into a Garage: Reverse from the starting point on the right into the garage, then drive to the left and reverse in again before returning to the starting point. No stopping is allowed during the process. Parallel Parking: Drive the car parallel to the garage, then reverse into it without any pauses. Turning at a Right Angle: Complete the turn in one go without crossing lines or stopping. Stopping and Starting on a Slope: Drive to the slope test area, ensuring the front wheels stop on the line. After passing, proceed to start on the slope without rolling back. Any mistake may result in point deductions or failure. Driving Through Curves: Navigate a lane with two turns exceeding 40 degrees in one go without stopping, crossing lines, or leaving the lane. Subject 2 Test Tips: Adjust the seat and mirrors to your preference and fasten your seatbelt before starting. For parallel parking, find the right angle quickly, steer promptly, and coordinate with the car's speed. On the slope, engage the handbrake, signal left when starting, release the handbrake, and balance the clutch and throttle to avoid stalling or rolling back. For right-angle turns, react swiftly to the reference point while matching the car's speed to prevent deviation. For curve driving (S-turns), the safest approach is to slow down, though skilled drivers may pass quickly. When reversing into a garage, control the speed, identify reference points, and make minor adjustments if needed by checking the mirrors.
