Can Subject 2 and Subject 3 be Scheduled Together?
2 Answers
Yes, they can be scheduled together for consecutive tests. According to Article 36 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": The vehicle management office shall arrange the tests according to the scheduled test site and time. After passing Subject 1, the applicant can schedule Subject 2 or Subject 3 road driving skills test. In areas with the necessary conditions, the applicant can simultaneously schedule Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills tests and take them consecutively upon successful scheduling. Subject 2 Test Notes: The first thing after getting in the car is to adjust the seat and rearview mirrors to a suitable position and state, and always fasten the seat belt. (This seems like a no-brainer, but such basic mistakes are most likely to occur when nervous or flustered). For parallel parking, remember to find the right angle, turn the steering wheel quickly, and react promptly in coordination with the car's speed. For hill starts, remember to pull the handbrake, turn on the left turn signal when starting, release the handbrake, stabilize the clutch, and gently press the accelerator while releasing the clutch to avoid stalling or rolling back. For right-angle turns, react quickly to turn once the reference point is found, always coordinating with the car's speed to prevent deviation. For curve driving (S-turns), the safest method is to slow down. Those with good driving sense during practice can pass through swiftly in one go. For reverse parking, control the speed carefully, find your reference points, and make minor adjustments if you notice any deviation in the rearview mirrors. Subject 3 Test Notes: Pre-driving preparation: Walk around the car to check tire pressure and the vehicle's exterior. Before opening the door, check for passing vehicles or pedestrians. In-car preparation: Maintain a calm mindset, adjust the seat, check if the rearview mirrors need adjustment, inspect the handbrake, gear, and seat belt. Starting: Check if the dashboard is normal, look at the interior and exterior rearview mirrors, and turn your head to observe traffic behind you—make the movement noticeable for the examiner. Straight-line driving: Keep the car moving straight and turn off the turn signal. Control speed appropriately, maintain a safe distance, and monitor the rearview mirrors for sudden situations. Gear operation: Shift gears smoothly without looking down at the gear lever. Road and traffic handling: Overtaking: Choose the right moment to overtake promptly. Use turn signals when changing lanes. Oncoming traffic: Slow down in advance and proceed with caution. Lane changing: Observe carefully before changing lanes, confirm safety, then turn on the signal. Check the mirrors again to confirm safety before smoothly steering into the desired lane and turning off the signal. Pedestrian crossings: Slow down in advance and yield courteously to pedestrians and vehicles. Intersections: Observe carefully and slow down or stop if necessary. Follow the correct lane based on the driving direction. Pulling over: Slow down, assess road conditions, and choose a parking spot. Park smoothly with the body and wheels aligned. Exiting: Only exit after the computer announces the test is over. Always check the left rearview mirror for safety before opening the door.
I just got my driver's license not long ago, thinking back on the subjects two and three. Actually, they can be scheduled together. In most places, like my city, after passing subject one, you can directly choose the date in the online booking system, provided there are available slots. I tried booking both at once—the advantage is saving time and money; you can take subject three right after subject two without making a second trip. But there are risks too: if you fail subject two, the booking for subject three might be automatically canceled, wasting effort and requiring rebooking. I suggest making sure you've practiced enough, like driving steadily in the driving school's simulation area before booking subject three. Don’t forget to check the local traffic management app or ask your instructor about the latest policies, and don’t rush too much to avoid affecting your test mindset. Overall, it's very convenient, but you should decide based on your personal preparation.
