Different regulations may require varying hours of study, typically around 11 hours. Here is relevant information about Subject 2: 1. Key Points: Adjust the seat and rearview mirror to your preferred position, fasten the seat belt. Control the vehicle speed (mainly by adjusting the clutch pedal height, and slightly pressing the brake if necessary, but avoid stopping completely). The principle is 'slow speed, quick steering.' You can stop and wait between test sections, but once entering the test area, stopping midway during operation is not allowed. Listen carefully to voice prompts and wait for the computer to confirm your operation (about 3 seconds) before proceeding to the next step—do not rush. Avoid incorrect steering. 'Look at the front when moving forward, look at the rear when reversing, steer toward the direction you want'—steering while stationary is not recommended (though not penalized); it's better to stop with the wheels and steering aligned. 2. Main Content: Reverse parking into a garage requires finding the right reference points, reversing in from one side, driving out, and reversing in from the other side. Parallel parking requires the examinee to drive the car sideways into the parking space and engage/disengage the handbrake. Driving on a curved path is the simplest part; follow the instructor's guidance to find reference points and trace the curb with the front of the car. For a sharp turn, observe the reference point and turn the steering wheel sharply. Stopping and starting on an uphill slope requires precise stopping position—inaccurate positioning will result in points deduction. When starting, find the half-clutch point carefully to avoid stalling, and remember to engage/disengage the handbrake.

When I was learning to drive and preparing for the Subject 2 test, I specifically checked the national regulations, which require a minimum of 16 training sessions, each lasting 45 minutes, totaling about 12 hours. This regulation is designed to ensure that students master basic skills such as reversing into a garage, stopping on a slope, and parallel parking, to avoid failing the test or causing accidents on the road. The driving school I attended emphasizes quality and arranges courses step by step: three practice sessions per week, including familiarization with vehicle control and test route. However, in reality, some people learn quickly and may get the hang of it in just two weeks; others, like me, learn more slowly and took a few extra hours to pass confidently. Don’t just focus on the minimum requirements—practice is key. Failing the test means having to relearn, which wastes both time and money. Remember, safety comes first. The training hours are set based on traffic department safety standards to prevent new drivers from rushing onto the road and causing accidents.

As someone who has worked in a driving school for many years, I understand that the mandatory 16-hour requirement for Subject 2 is well-founded. When designing this system, it took into account the proficiency tests for various maneuvers by beginners, such as right-angle turns and curve driving. Each student progresses differently: those with natural talent might pass with fewer than 16 hours, but most need the full practice time. Driving schools teach in batches, first explaining key control points in stages, then arranging practical exercises; insufficient hours can affect exam pass rates. It's advisable to follow the instructor's plan and not rush to save hours—solid skills ensure you avoid basic mistakes while driving. The core lies in developing safe habits; the required hours are just a starting point, and real driving requires much more experience.

I'm a college student who just passed the Subject 2 driving test. The regulation states that a minimum of 16 training hours is required to register for the exam. I chose a certified driving school and practiced twice a week, covering maneuvers like reverse parking and hill starts—it was challenging but fun. The hour-based system helps beginners gradually understand vehicle dynamics. Insufficient practice? You'll likely panic and fail the test—I've seen classmates retake the course. Actual time investment varies: naturals pass with fewer hours, while slow learners like me needed extra days. The school offers flexible scheduling—don't just meet the minimum threshold. Mastering skills for safe driving matters most.
