Can I Take the Subject 2 Test Without an ID?

[VanLeilani]

You cannot take the Subject 2 test without an ID card. However, if your ID card is lost or expired, you can use a temporary ID. If you do not have an ID card and need to use a temporary ID, you must inform the driving test instructor in advance and follow the driving school's arrangements for the test. According to Article 19, Paragraph 1 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," "first-time applicants for a motor vehicle driving license must fill out an application form and submit their identity proof." Therefore, you can take the Subject 2 test with a temporary ID. Additionally, please note that the validity period of a temporary resident ID is three months. You can take the Subject 2 test within this period, but you will not be allowed to enter the test site if the ID expires. Therefore, make sure to take the test within the validity period of the document. If the temporary ID expires due to special circumstances, you should promptly apply for a formal ID or a new temporary ID. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment and refers to the field driving skills test. For small vehicles (C1/C2), the test items include five mandatory components: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves (commonly known as the S-curve). Some regions may include a sixth item: highway card collection. According to Article 25 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), starting from June 1, 2021, the C2 and C5 Subject 2 tests no longer include the stopping and starting on a slope component. For large vehicles (AB licenses), Subject 2 covers 16 items: According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the AB license Subject 2 test includes the following 16 items: reversing into a parking space, passing through continuous obstacles, driving through curves, highway simulation test, narrow gate, bumpy road, single-plank bridge, narrow road U-turn, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, highway emergency accident handling, mountain road simulation, turning at a right angle, rain and fog weather simulation, highway tire blowout, and tunnel simulation driving.
