Do I Need to Practice Driving for Subject 2 Every Day?
2 Answers
You can practice driving for Subject 2 every day. Daily practice can enhance driving skills and increase the pass rate of the exam. The practice for Subject 2 of the motor vehicle driver's license requires meeting the required training hours, with a maximum of four hours per day (equivalent to four training hours). Other practice time beyond this is not counted. Here is an introduction to Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It refers to the field driving skill test. For the C1 license, the test items include five mandatory components: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, making a right-angle turn, and driving through an S-curve (some regions also include a sixth item: collecting a toll card on a highway).
As someone who has passed the driving test, I believe that for Subject 2, daily practice isn't necessary—the key is practicing the right methods. When I was preparing, I went to the driving school three times a week, focusing on two-hour sessions each time, with rest days in between. This actually helped me retain the skills better because I approached each practice session with fresh eyes to analyze issues like hitting the line while reversing. Practicing every day can lead to fatigue, causing inaccurate steering and forming incorrect muscle memory. I recommend practicing every other day, supplementing with instructional videos on mobile apps for reference points, and using toy cars to simulate routes on weekends—saving time while being efficient. I passed the exam on my first try, proving that frequency isn't the focus; correcting mistakes and reviewing are the core. Nowadays, new learners even use VR simulators for assisted practice, which works even better.
