Can I switch to automatic transmission if I fail the manual transmission subject two test?
2 Answers
If you fail the subject two test, you cannot directly switch to automatic transmission. If you want to learn automatic transmission vehicles, you need to cancel the manual transmission application and retake all subject tests. Here are some considerations for the driver's license test: 1. Test scheduling: The vehicle management office arranges tests according to the scheduled test center and time. After passing subject one, applicants can schedule subject two or subject three road driving skill tests. If the vehicle management office cannot arrange subject two or subject three tests within 60 days, applicants may choose to schedule tests at other test centers within the province. 2. Scheduling methods: The vehicle management office uses a nationwide unified test scheduling system, providing internet, telephone, and service window options for applicants to schedule tests.
I failed the manual transmission subject two test twice last time and was really frustrated, so I went to the driving school to ask if I could switch to automatic transmission. They said it was possible but required some paperwork. The manual transmission subject two test involves more complex operations like hill starts, while switching to automatic transmission simplifies the test content and reduces some items. After retraining for a month, I passed the test. Switching to automatic transmission may cost a few hundred yuan for conversion fees, retraining, and retaking subject two. Subject one results are usually retained, saving you from retaking the theoretical part. Learning automatic transmission is much easier and more suitable for urban driving conditions. Learning to drive is really a test of patience. Choosing automatic transmission from the start gets you on the road faster, unless you plan to drive sports cars with manual transmission in the future—otherwise, there's no need to waste time and energy on the clutch. Remember to check the specific regulations of your local driving school before switching, as policies vary by region to avoid pitfalls.
