Can I Bring a Seat Cushion for the Subject 2 Driving Test?

You can bring a seat cushion for the Subject 2 driving test. Below is a partial introduction to the Subject 2 test: 1. Reverse Parking: The main points for deduction in reverse parking are crossing the line, failing to enter the parking space, exceeding the time limit, and not following the designated route. After the new regulations were implemented, a time limit was added for reverse parking—it must be completed within 210 seconds. Exceeding this time will result in a failing grade. During the test, you must first reverse into the right parking space, then the left one. Not following this sequence will also result in a failing grade. Pay attention to maintaining a 30cm margin when reversing. 2. Parallel Parking: The main points for deduction in parallel parking are related to turn signals, maintaining a 30cm margin, and crossing the line. When entering the test area, turn the steering wheel to the right in advance and align the highest point of the windshield wiper with the roadside line to adjust the 30cm margin. When exiting the parking space, check the rearview mirror carefully to prevent the wheels from crossing the line on either side. 3. Right-Angle Turn: The main points for deduction in the right-angle turn are related to turn signals and crossing the line. After entering the test area, incorrect operation of the turn signal will result in a 10-point deduction. Once in the right-angle turn, adjust the car body to maintain a 30cm margin from the line to prevent the wheels from crossing the line.
Last year when I took the driving test for Subject 2, I specifically asked about this. Test centers usually allow examinees to bring their own seat cushions, especially for adjusting the driving height. For example, since I'm relatively short, bringing a thin cushion made it easier for me to see the dashboard and roadside markings. The staff didn't mind during the test, as long as the cushion wasn't loose or obstructing pedal operation. I recommend consulting your instructor or the test center hotline before the exam to confirm specific rules. Don't decide last minute; practice with it beforehand to get used to it, so you can focus more on technical movements during the test. After all, the key point of Subject 2 is safety, and as long as the cushion doesn't wobble and affect driving, it's generally fine.
