Can I Take Leave for Subject 2 Driving Practice?
3 Answers
Subject 2 driving practice can be taken leave for. Here is the relevant information about Subject 2: 1. Introduction: Subject 2, short for the field driving skill test, includes five mandatory test items for small vehicles C1 and C2: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves (commonly known as S-curves). Some regions also include a sixth item: high-speed toll card collection. 2. Content: The test requires mastering basic driving operation essentials and having fundamental vehicle control abilities; being proficient in basic methods of field and road driving within the test area, capable of reasonably using vehicle control components and correctly controlling the spatial position of the vehicle, and accurately controlling the vehicle's driving position, speed, and route.
Last year when I was getting my driver's license, I also struggled with this issue. Of course you can take leave during Subject 2 driving practice! But the key is to communicate with your instructor in advance, preferably calling one day ahead to explain the situation. Instructors are usually understanding - after all, everyone has emergencies sometimes. However, don't take leave too frequently. The most important thing in Subject 2 is maintaining continuity in your driving feel, as maneuvers like reverse parking and parallel parking require muscle memory. I suggest treating driving practice like clocking in for work. If you must take leave, try to schedule it during non-critical learning phases, such as the buffer period after completing curve driving. When you return from leave, remember to proactively ask your instructor for make-up lessons - don't wait to be scheduled. Also, some driving schools will count absences against your total course hours, and too many unexcused absences may require paying extra for additional practice time.
As a veteran instructor who has trained over a thousand students, I must say taking leave for Subject 2 practice is extremely common. The key is to follow the rules: send a WeChat notice half a day in advance – last-minute cancellations annoy coaches the most. We typically teach according to schedules, and one student's delay holds up the entire group. If you must take leave, afternoon sessions are recommended as mornings are prime time for new content instruction. Make-up lessons depend on coach availability, with peak seasons potentially requiring two-week waits. Remember, missing three or more sessions usually means extra training – that additional cost could be better spent on a nice meal. Actually, rainy days offer the best practice conditions with clear road markings and no sun – taking leave then is truly a waste.
