Do I need to bring my ID card for the simulated driving test (Subject 2)?
2 Answers
You need to bring your ID card. Here are the relevant details: Test scheduling: In April 2016, the "Decision on Amendments" was officially implemented, allowing self-study and self-testing for small cars. Subjects 2 and 3 can be scheduled simultaneously and taken consecutively. Test techniques: Start the car in low gear; before entering the right-angle turn, drive close to the right side, keeping the right wheels about 0.1 meters away from the right edge of the road. When the driver aligns with the inner right-angle point, quickly turn the steering wheel to the left to its limit position; when the left rear wheel passes the inner right-angle point, gradually steer right to exit the road.
Bringing your ID card for the simulated Subject 2 test is indeed a good idea. I used to frequently help others practice driving and found that driving schools may also require identity verification during mock exams, similar to the official test. The Subject 2 simulation focuses on practicing field driving skills like reverse parking and parallel parking. If you forget your ID, staff might deny entry, wasting both time and money—especially since simulation fees aren’t cheap. Carrying your ID ensures smooth participation and builds good habits. By the way, it’s also advisable to bring water and a notebook to jot down mistakes for improvement. The key to passing the driver’s license test is thorough preparation. While identity verification seems minor, forgetting it could cause big issues. Mock tests are invaluable—missing one means losing a chance to sharpen your skills.
