Can I Bring a Mobile Phone for Subject 2 Driving Test?
2 Answers
Mobile phones are not allowed during the driving test. Below is relevant information: Failure: If you fail the Subject 2 test on the first attempt, you can retake it once. If you do not attend the retest or fail again, the current test session ends, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of scheduled attempts for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skill tests must not exceed five. If the fifth attempt is still unsuccessful, the passing scores of other subjects will be invalidated. Notes: Dress comfortably and prepare mentally before the test; during reverse parking, pay attention to key points—do not turn left or right. When parallel parking, ensure the rear wheels do not cross the edge line, adjust the distance properly, remember to use the turn signal and honk. For sharp turns, identify the reference point and turn the steering wheel decisively; during curve driving, enter the curve with a wide turn, maintain a steady speed, and avoid crossing any lines. After the test, drive the car back to the starting position, sign for confirmation, and then turn off the engine.
I remember when I was an instructor, the most frequent reminder to students before the test was to lock their phones in the locker first. Phones are strictly prohibited in the waiting area and the test vehicle throughout the exam, even if they are turned off. Once, a student kept their phone in their pocket, and the metal detector beeped, resulting in them being asked to leave the exam site, wasting their test opportunity. The rules are so strict mainly to prevent cheating, as the exam system is sensitive to electronic signals. Moreover, the second subject requires high concentration, and even a phone vibration could make you forget to turn the steering wheel. It's advisable to hand over your phone to a family member accompanying you in advance and retrieve it directly at the signing area after the test, which is both worry-free and safe.
