Can the clutch be fully released in Subject 2 of the driving test?
2 Answers
Subject 2 clutch can be fully released. Here is the relevant introduction: Clutch: The clutch is located in the flywheel housing between the engine and the gearbox, and the clutch assembly is fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws. The output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the gearbox. Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviation for the field driving skills test. For the C1 license, the test items include 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-turns), which are five mandatory test items (some areas also include a sixth item, high-speed card collection). For the C2 license, the test items include reversing into a garage, parallel parking, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves (commonly known as S-turns), which are four mandatory test items.
I remember when I was taking the driving test for Subject 2, the instructor kept emphasizing the importance of clutch control. Can the clutch be fully released? The answer is yes, but it depends on the situation. During daily practice, I found that after the vehicle is moving smoothly, such as when driving straight or completing a reverse parking maneuver, it's perfectly fine to release the clutch completely. However, if you suddenly release the clutch fully during startup or on a slope, the car may jerk or even stall, which would cost you points during the test. My experience is that clutch operation should be gradual: first give a little gas, slowly release the clutch, and only fully release it once the car starts moving. This not only avoids the embarrassment of stalling at startup but also makes the operation smoother. The role of the clutch is to connect the power; once fully released, the vehicle runs freely. Before the test, practice more with the half-clutch state and learn to adjust flexibly according to the speed—don't rush it.
