How long does it usually take to practice using the clutch?

Operating the clutch is one of the tasks in Subject 2 of the driving test. Normally, it takes about half a month to practice for Subject 2. The exact time required varies depending on individual skill levels and schedules. Key points for clutch control: Lift your left leg and press the clutch pedal all the way down quickly. When releasing, place your heel on the ground and use it as support. Release the clutch quickly for the first third, steadily for the middle third, and lift it directly for the final third. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination and focuses on field driving skills. The test items include: Reverse parking into a garage: Reverse into the garage from the right starting point, then drive to the left and reverse into the garage again before returning to the starting point. No stopping is allowed during the process. Parallel parking: Drive the vehicle to a position parallel to the garage, then reverse into the garage without any pauses. 90-degree turn: Complete the turn in one go without crossing the line or stopping. Hill start and stop: The examinee must drive to the hill start test point, ensuring the front wheels stop exactly on the line. After passing, the examinee must perform a hill start without rolling backward. Any mistake will result in point deductions or failure. S-curve driving: Navigate through a lane with two turns greater than 40 degrees in one go without stopping, crossing the line, or going out of bounds. The test is scored out of 100, with criteria for failure, 20-point deductions, 10-point deductions, and 5-point deductions. A score of 80 or above is required to pass. Poor clutch control can lead to difficulty in shifting gears, affecting normal driving. If the clutch itself malfunctions, the vehicle may experience clutch slippage, reduced power, or even complete failure to move.
