According to Article 40 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses", for first-time applicants or those applying to add a permitted vehicle type, the applicant must meet the following requirements when scheduling the Subject 2 test: For small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled, wheeled self-propelled machinery, trolleybuses, and tram permitted vehicle types, the test can be scheduled 10 days after obtaining the learning driving certificate. For large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, and large truck permitted vehicle types, the test can be scheduled 20 days after obtaining the learning driving certificate. Each Subject 2 test appointment includes 2 attempts. If the first attempt fails, a free retake is allowed. If the retake is not taken or still fails, the test session ends, and a new Subject 2 test can be scheduled after 10 days. Within the validity period of the learning driving certificate, the number of Subject 2 test appointments must not exceed 5. If the fifth attempt still fails, the results of other passed subjects will be invalidated. To continue learning, the applicant must restart from Subject 1. Subject 2 test content: Driving a motor vehicle to complete test items in a designated area; mastery of motor vehicle driving skills; ability to judge the spatial position of the vehicle. Subject 2 is also known as the small road test and includes five mandatory items: reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start, right-angle turn, and curve driving. Subject 2 test precautions: After getting in the car, adjust the seat and mirrors to a suitable position and state, and always fasten the seatbelt. For parallel parking, find the correct angle, turn the steering wheel quickly, react promptly, and coordinate with the car's speed. For hill starts, remember to engage the handbrake, turn on the left turn signal when starting, release the handbrake, stabilize the clutch, and gradually release the clutch while pressing the accelerator to avoid stalling or rolling back. For right-angle turns, locate the point quickly and turn in coordination with the car's speed to avoid deviation. For curve driving (S-turn), slow down and proceed carefully. Those with good driving sense during practice may pass quickly in one go. For reverse parking, control the speed, identify reference points, and make minor adjustments if deviations are observed in the mirrors. The driving test consists of 3 subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."
