Has the Subject 2 Test Items Been Increased?

Added highway toll card collection and simulated tunnel driving. Here are the specific details: 1. Highway Toll Card Collection: The first new item added to Subject 2 involves parking the test vehicle properly, then smoothly collecting the card from the card dispenser before starting. During practice, the main focus is mastering the distance between the vehicle and the card dispenser. Parking too far away may result in not being able to reach the card, thus affecting the overall traffic situation. 2. Simulated Tunnel Driving: Upon entering the tunnel, the low beam headlights must be turned on due to the significant difference in light levels inside and outside the tunnel. Sounding the horn serves as a warning to other vehicles. Once inside the tunnel, changing lanes is strictly prohibited; otherwise, crossing the edge line will result in failing the test. When approaching the tunnel exit, the low beam headlights should be turned off and the horn sounded again to ensure a smooth exit and successful completion of the test.
As a driving school instructor with years of experience, I'm often asked by students whether the Category 2 test items have changed. Now I can tell you that some additions have indeed been made in recent years. The standard core items remain unchanged - reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start, and right-angle turns are still being tested. However, for safety considerations, some regions may have added simulated scenarios. For instance, some cities have incorporated rainy or foggy driving tests to help students learn vehicle control in adverse weather conditions. Adjustments have also been made for automatic transmission vehicles, such as simplifying the test by removing the hill start section. I advise beginners to pay close attention to driving school notifications during practice, as policies may vary by location. The Category 2 test isn't overly difficult, but it requires focus on every detail and avoiding excessive nervousness.
