Can You Stop the Car During the Second Driving Test?

You can stop the car during the second driving test. In the C1 Category 2 driving test, stopping is allowed as long as it is not an illegal stop. The C1 Category 2 driving test includes five mandatory items: 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). Some regions also include a sixth item: high-speed card collection. Points Deduction for Parallel Parking: If the vehicle exceeds the line after stopping in the garage, or if the task completion time exceeds 90 seconds, 100 points will be deducted. Failing to use or incorrectly using the turn signal when exiting the garage will also result in a 100-point deduction. If the vehicle body touches the garage line or the wheels touch the lane boundary line during driving, 10 points will be deducted each time. Stopping for more than 2 seconds during the process will result in a 5-point deduction each time. Points Deduction for Reversing into a Garage: If the task completion time exceeds 210 seconds, if the vehicle does not follow the prescribed route or sequence, if the front wheels do not pass the control line before reversing, or if the vehicle fails to enter the garage, 100 points will be deducted. Stopping for more than 2 seconds during the process will result in a 5-point deduction each time.

In the Subject 2 driving test, stopping is basically not allowed during the execution of test items. I remember when I took the exam, the instructor repeatedly emphasized that the vehicle must maintain continuous movement during item execution, especially during maneuvers like reverse parking and parallel parking. If the car stops for more than 2 seconds, the testing system will automatically detect it and deduct points, or even result in an immediate failure in severe cases. One of my friends failed because they nervously pressed the brake and paused briefly during the curve driving section, resulting in a zero score and having to retake the test. From a safety perspective, the test is designed to assess whether you can smoothly control the vehicle in simulated scenarios to avoid potential hazards. During practice, focus on coordinating the clutch and throttle to maintain a slow, steady speed and prevent the car from stopping. Of course, brief adjustments at the starting point or designated positions are allowed, but stopping mid-maneuver is absolutely prohibited. Prepare mentally, stay steady, and pass with confidence.

Last time I almost had a problem during my driving test for Subject 2. I was a bit slow when starting the car during the hill-start parking exercise, and the car stopped for too long, resulting in point deductions. The instructor said stopping during Subject 2 exercises is a major taboo, as it relates to the assessment of continuous operation skills. If you stop halfway on the slope or during reverse parking, the system will detect it and record a mistake. I recommend practicing more with simulation software, maintaining a speed of around 5 km/h to avoid sudden braking. From a safety perspective, stopping may cause loss of vehicle momentum, leading to operational errors such as hitting the line or deviating from the track. In short, before the test, make sure you are familiar with the rules, transitions between exercises should be smooth, and avoid stopping in the middle. More training will help overcome nervousness.

As a seasoned driver with years of experience, I see that the regulations for the Subject 2 driving test stipulate that stopping during the test items will result in point deductions. For example, during reverse parking, stopping may cause positional deviations affecting the score. Technically speaking, the vehicle needs to maintain slow, continuous movement to precisely control the direction, as stopping interrupts stability. Before the test, it's crucial to do more simulation practice, and mastering clutch coordination is key.
