Not wearing a seatbelt: deduct 100 points. Not closing the car door properly: deduct 100 points. Stalling once: deduct 10 points. Failing to stop at the designated point: deduct 100 points; after the vehicle stops, if the front bumper does not reach the control line: deduct 100 points.

I'm quite familiar with the marking rules for Subject 2 of the driving test. As a coach with years of teaching experience, I often remind students to pay attention to details. The total score for Subject 2 is 100, with a passing mark of 80. Points are deducted in various operations, such as 10 points for crossing the line during reverse parking, 10 points if the front bumper is more than 50cm away from the stop line during hill start, and 10 points for stalling once during starting. Accumulating more than 20 points in deductions means failure. The electronic equipment during the test is very sensitive, and even small mistakes are caught. Practice is key, especially controlling speed and direction during parking and turning. Don't rush to drive too fast; keeping a calm mindset makes it easier to avoid deductions. Simulating the test atmosphere during regular practice and familiarizing yourself with each point can greatly improve the pass rate. After all, the driving test emphasizes mastering the basics and details.

I just passed the second driving test recently, and the whole process was intense and thrilling. The scoring starts deducting from 100 points. During my test, I lost 10 points for parking slightly off the mark on the slope, and another 10 points for slightly crossing the line while reversing, totaling a 20-point deduction—just enough to pass. Common deductions include stalling (10 points) and exceeding the time limit for parallel parking (5 points). Crossing the line is the most dangerous, as a single mistake could waste months of practice. My advice is not to rush during the test—take your time, take a deep breath after completing each maneuver. Practice more at the driving school to get used to the strict electronic evaluation, and mastering clutch control is key—fewer mistakes mean fewer deductions naturally.

What is the S gear for?

The S gear in a car represents the sport mode of the vehicle. Sport Mode: In fact, S is the abbreviation for sport. In sport mode, the car's performance in various aspects will be enhanced, and the acceleration performance will be stronger. Sport mode is often used for overtaking or climbing hills. After engaging sport mode, the car's gear will drop quickly, with a certain delay in shifting, and the engine can maintain high RPM for an extended period. The car will operate at low gear and high RPM for a longer time, allowing it to generate greater torque and instantly boost the car's speed. Sport mode can be switched freely, and you don't need to press the brake to switch to sport mode while driving. Disadvantages of Sport Mode: It will increase the car's fuel consumption, and rapid acceleration may reduce the comfort level of the vehicle.

What does M/S mean?

In automobiles, M/S refers to the manual mode and sport mode gear positions in automatic transmission models. Currently, car brands that feature both M/S modes simultaneously include BMW's gear lever (commonly known as the "chicken stick") and some Japanese Toyota off-road models. Below are introductions to manual mode and sport mode: Manual Mode: Manual mode, indicated by "+/-", allows shifting into manual mode when placed in this position, enabling manual gear changes using the +/- function. Sport Mode: Sport mode automatically adjusts engine speed and corresponding shift timing, delaying upshifts or advancing downshifts to maintain higher engine speeds. This provides a more noticeable acceleration feel but inevitably results in higher fuel consumption.

What are the differences between automatic and manual transmissions?

Automatic and manual transmissions differ in terms of operation difficulty and safety performance. Below are detailed explanations of these differences: Operation difficulty: Automatic transmission vehicles primarily rely on the hydraulic torque converter's hydraulic transmission and automatic shifting principle to perform gear changes. Even beginners with limited automotive knowledge can quickly master it, with lower labor intensity and a more relaxed driving experience. Manual transmissions mainly depend on the driver's physical operation of the clutch pedal to shift gears, making the operation relatively cumbersome. It requires drivers to possess higher driving skills, resulting in greater labor intensity. Safety performance: Coasting in neutral with a manual transmission may lead to risks such as understeer or drifting. Additionally, if the engine stalls during idle, the vehicle will lose power steering and brake boost, increasing safety hazards during driving. Automatic transmission vehicles cannot coast in neutral, as they maintain continuous power support throughout the entire journey, making driving safer.
