How Long Does It Take to Learn Automatic Transmission Subject 2?
2 Answers
After passing Subject 1 of the driving test, you can schedule the Subject 2 test 10 days later. Generally, these 10 days can be used to start learning Subject 2, which typically requires about 15 days of study. Each test session offers two attempts. If you fail, you need to reschedule the test after another 10 days. Below is an introduction to the driving license test: 1. Subject 1: Tests knowledge of road traffic laws, regulations, and related information. The structure and basic question types of the test database are formulated by the Ministry of Public Security, while provincial traffic management departments under the public security authorities establish the test database for their respective provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) based on local conditions. 2. Subject 2: Tests field driving skills, including: reversing into a parking space, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, driving along a curve, and parallel parking. In cities like Shanghai, Subject 2 includes nine mandatory test items: reversing into a parking space, turning at a right angle, parallel parking, driving through a tunnel, stopping to take a card, driving along a curve, making a U-turn on a narrow road, emergency stopping, and stopping and starting on a slope. 3. Subject 3: Tests road driving skills, including basic items such as preparation before driving (walking around the vehicle counterclockwise, fastening the seat belt, turning on the left turn signal, shifting gears, releasing the handbrake, and honking the horn), starting, driving straight, changing lanes, passing intersections, parking by the roadside, crossing pedestrian crosswalks, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night. 4. Subject 4: Tests knowledge of safe and civilized driving, covering related information on safe and civilized driving.
I got my automatic transmission driver's license last year, practicing for about two weeks for the second subject. The key is to understand the five test items: reverse parking, parallel parking, S-curve, right-angle turn, and hill start (though it's simpler for automatic transmission). I practiced for one hour daily and more on weekends. At first, I kept crossing the lines during reverse parking, but later realized that adjusting the rearview mirrors and the timing of steering were crucial. The instructor said automatic transmission is 30% faster than manual because you don't have to worry about the clutch. But staying calm is more important—a girl in our batch practiced for 20 days but was so nervous her hands shook, and it took her three attempts to pass. My advice is not to obsess over practice time; memorize the reference points for each item, do a simulation at the test site, and you're basically ready to take the test in about ten days.
