Does Subject 2 Test Include Lighting?

Subject 2 does test lighting. Turning on lights is required during starting, hill starts, and exiting from parallel parking. Below is a detailed introduction to the Subject 2 test: 1. Overview: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and refers to the field driving skill test. For small vehicles (C1/C2), the test items include five mandatory components: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving on a curve. 2. Others: If you fail the Subject 2 test for the first time, you can retake it once. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the current test session ends, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of scheduled tests for Subject 2 and Subject 3 (road driving skill test) must not exceed five times.
I just passed Subject 2 last month, and the instructor said at this stage I should just focus on practicing reversing and hill starts. On the exam day, I didn't even touch the light switch—the whole time was spent controlling the clutch and steering wheel. When reversing into the parking space, I was practically twisting the steering wheel into a pretzel, let alone worrying about the lights. It's Subject 3 that tests the light simulation, where you'll need to remember to switch between high and low beams. For now, you should practice parallel parking and right-angle turns more—don't even think about the lights.
