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

[SanBrooke]

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