Do You Need to Wait for the Voice Prompt After Parallel Parking?

After parallel parking, you need to wait for the voice prompt indicating a pass. Below are specific tips for the second subject of the driving test: Slow Speed: Maintaining a slow speed is the fundamental rule for practicing the second subject of the driving test. Ensure the vehicle doesn't come to a complete stop, but keep the speed as slow as possible. A slower speed allows ample time to adjust each step of the operation. Adjust Rearview Mirrors Properly: After getting into the car, always adjust the rearview mirrors properly. This is particularly crucial for parallel parking and side parking. Master the Three-Point Alignment Method: The three points refer to the driver's eyes, reference points on the car, and reference points on the ground. During the second subject's operations, it's essential to accurately identify and observe these points to ensure precise positioning.

I remember in the driving test's Subject 2, after reversing into the parking space, you must wait for the voice prompt to say "Pass"—this is a mandatory rule set by the exam system. You need to park the car accurately, ensuring the wheels are within the lines without exceeding the boundaries, and then the system will evaluate. It waits a few seconds before announcing the result. If you pass, you can proceed; otherwise, you fail and must retry. I've seen many trainees rush to drive off before the announcement and end up being disqualified, which they deeply regretted. So, it’s crucial to stay calm and not move until the voice clearly confirms the result. During the actual test, if there’s no sound, don’t panic—quickly raise your hand and report to the examiner to check the system to avoid wasting time. For the reversing exercise, practice lingering a bit after parking to build the habit. This will make the test smoother, give beginners more confidence, and help them adapt to road changes while reducing the risk of scratches.

On the day of my reverse parking test for Subject 2, I was so nervous that my palms were sweaty. After parking the car, I held my breath waiting for that voice prompt. It took quite a while before it leisurely announced 'Passed'—I jumped for joy immediately. You must wait for the voice prompt; otherwise, the system assumes you didn't complete the test. The system might be slow or laggy, but patience always pays off—don't guess the outcome and drive away prematurely. A friend of mine hastily got out of the car, and since no announcement was made, they failed, wasting one attempt. Thankfully, they passed the retake after rigorous practice. My advice is to practice counting silently for three seconds after parking during training to simulate waiting for the voice prompt—this builds a habit, making you naturally confident during the actual test. In real driving, reverse parking relies on mirrors—there's no voice prompt. New drivers should prioritize safety.

After completing the reverse parking test, you must wait for the system's voice announcement to confirm a pass. This is an ironclad rule in the driving test and cannot be skipped. I didn't dare to move until it finished speaking. In actual driving, you don't need to wait for the voice—just estimate the parking space with your eyes and park, which is much simpler. During my test, I also waited anxiously, but the rules are like this to avoid misjudgment. If the system seems stuck, wait a moment. If there's no sound, notify the examiner. Practice patience and wait for the voice to develop good habits—accurate reversing will reduce scrapes. Beginners shouldn't rush onto the road; practice parking maneuvers a few more times to pass the test quickly.
