How Many Chances Are There for the Subject 2 Driving Test?
2 Answers
Under the new driving test regulations, there are five opportunities for the initial test and retest for Subject 2 (totaling ten chances). This means that each time a candidate takes the exam, they will have one initial test and one retest opportunity. If both attempts are unsuccessful, the candidate must reschedule the test (up to five times in total). However, passing any one of these attempts is considered a success. If all ten attempts are unsuccessful, the results of other previously passed subjects will be invalidated. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and refers to the field driving skills test. For small vehicles (C1 and C2), the test items include: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves (five items in total).
I was really nervous when taking the Subject 2 driving test. During the first attempt at reverse parking, I didn't position the car properly and crossed the line, resulting in failure. Fortunately, the examiner immediately arranged a retest. On the second try, I took a deep breath and proceeded slowly, passing successfully. The general rule is that each Subject 2 test session gives you two attempts: the initial test and one immediate retest. If both attempts fail, you'll need to reschedule for another test session, usually waiting several days and paying a retest fee. It's recommended to practice mock test scenarios frequently, familiarize yourself with the parking lot environment and vehicle operations to minimize mistakes. Regular training and staying relaxed are crucial – for example, warming up before the test by watching tutorial videos to avoid panicking like I did.
