Can You Stall the Engine in Subject Two?
2 Answers
You only need to complete tasks such as reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving on a curve, then return to the starting point after the assessment. There is no need to stall the engine. Here is an introduction to Subject Two: 1. Introduction One: Subject Two, 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. 2. Introduction Two: The test items include five mandatory tasks: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving on a curve. Here are the precautions for Subject Two: 1. Introduction One: Do not wear items that obscure your face when taking photos, such as scarves, masks, hats, etc. 2. Introduction Two: When getting into the car, actively show your ID card, adjust the seat, turn on the left turn signal, fasten the seat belt, release the handbrake, and enter the test area only after hearing that the identity verification is successful. 3. Introduction Three: If the vehicle ahead is reversing into a garage, wait outside the arrow until the vehicle ahead moves to parallel parking before starting your test. 4. Introduction Four: For parallel parking, align with the reference point ahead, avoid pressing the solid lines on both sides, and keep the right wheel 20-50 cm away from the garage line. 5. Introduction Five: Wait for the vehicle ahead to exit before entering the curve driving test. If there is a vehicle ahead, wait outside the arrow. 6. Introduction Six: When starting on a slope, do not wait for the computer voice announcement because you must complete the starting action within 30 seconds. Do as you usually practice to ensure a smooth start without stalling or rolling back. 7. Introduction Seven: For turning at a right angle, control the speed carefully—do not go too fast. Align with the reference point, straighten the direction, identify the point ahead, and quickly turn the steering wheel fully to the left.
Having driven for many years, I recall that occasional stalling during the Subject 2 driving test can happen, especially during the hill start. If the clutch is released too quickly, the engine may stall, and the examiner usually deducts 5 to 10 points. However, stalling once typically won’t fail you—just avoid doing it repeatedly. The key is to practice mastering the half-clutch feel: release the clutch slowly while gently pressing the accelerator to maintain RPM. Once the car moves, keep your feet steady. Stay calm during the test—if you stall, don’t panic. Immediately shift to neutral, restart the engine, and continue driving without letting it ruin your overall performance. At the driving school, find an open space to repeatedly practice starting until it becomes instinctive, so you won’t fumble during the exam. On rainy days, pay extra attention to slippery roads and maintain even smoother clutch control. In short, minor mistakes are inevitable, but minimize them and prioritize safety above all.
