The ten-day retake period for Subject 2 does not include Sundays. Below is detailed information about 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 skills test. For small vehicles (C1/C2), the 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. 2. Additional Information: If a candidate fails the first attempt at Subject 2, they are allowed one retake. If the candidate does not attend the retake or fails the retake, the test session is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skills test permit, the number of test appointments for Subject 2 and Subject 3 (road driving skills test) must not exceed five times.
As a student who just passed the Subject 2 test, I remember when I needed to retake it, the driving school instructor said those ten days are counted consecutively, including weekends. For example, if you fail the test on Friday, the next day (Saturday) counts as the first day, not just weekdays. It sounds a bit urgent, but it's actually to ensure the schedule isn't delayed. I experienced this myself, but luckily, I could practice on weekends—just needed to plan my time in advance. I suggest you ask your instructor directly or check the driving school notice, as local policies might differ. By the way, regarding the retest, practice parallel parking and hill starts a few more times. Get the details right, and you'll pass—no need to stress too much!
