2 Answers
Subject 2 can be taken in a different location. Below is the relevant introduction to Subject 2: Introduction to Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination and refers to the field driving skills test. Subject 2 Test Content: For the C1 license, the test items include five mandatory components: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curves). In some regions, there is a sixth component: high-speed toll card collection. For the C2 license, the test includes four mandatory components: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curves).
Recently, I've been preparing for my driver's license test while working in another city, and whether I can take the second subject exam in a different location has been a big concern. I consulted the driving school, and they said the policy has been relaxed now, allowing exams to be taken in different places. This has been in effect since 2019, as the Ministry of Public Security's regulations permit cross-provincial exams. The process is quite simple: bring your ID card and proof from your original driving school, then make an appointment at the local vehicle management office or driving test center. I took the test in Guangzhou while my hometown is in Sichuan, so I didn't have to travel back, saving on high-speed rail tickets and accommodation costs. However, it's important to note that appointment times may vary by region, so it's best to check the local requirements one or two weeks in advance. Taking exams in a different location is particularly convenient for working professionals or students. I know many friends who passed this way without any hassle. Remember to practice more on the local standard test site before the exam to avoid being unfamiliar with it.
