Subject 2 requires a total of 26 class hours, including 2 hours for theoretical knowledge and 24 hours for practical driving. Only after completing all 26 hours can you schedule the Subject 2 driving test. If the required hours are not met, you are not allowed to take the test. The maximum number of class hours allowed per day is four. Here are some relevant details: 1. Each class hour lasts 60 minutes, with effective teaching time no less than 45 minutes. Additionally, each student's daily classroom learning and practical driving time cannot exceed 4 hours, meaning a maximum of 4 class hours per day. Any excess time will not be recorded by the system. 2. In most regions, the Subject 2 test includes five items: reversing into a parking space, stopping and starting on a slope, making a 90-degree turn, parallel parking, and driving through curves. All five items must be passed in one attempt to pass the test. 3. The test offers two chances: the initial test and a retest. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it immediately. If you fail the retest, you must wait 10 days before scheduling another test. 4. After the test, candidates should leave the testing area promptly and avoid disturbing others. They must also follow the staff's instructions to sign and confirm their test results at a designated location. Failure to sign will invalidate the results.

Let me tell you as an experienced driving instructor, the minimum for Subject 2 is 40 hours. You must complete 10 hours of theory before getting in the car. Difficult parts like reverse parking and parallel parking each take at least 8 hours, with the remaining time spent on hill starts and curves. The key is not just focusing on clocking hours—we've had students fail despite completing all 40 hours. I recommend practicing more on weekdays; weekends are overcrowded, and three hours then are less effective than one hour normally. Remember, your training card must be inserted into the instructor's car timer to count. Skipping classes and getting caught means starting over!

As a coach with eight years of experience training students, the requirements for Subject 2 are very clear: a minimum of 40 hours for C1 manual transmission and 38 hours for automatic transmission. The key points are strictly enforced—for example, you must complete a full 8 hours of reverse parking practice before you can schedule the test. Nowadays, the electronic check-in system can't be fooled. Last time, a student used my card to clock in for them, and it resulted in immediate suspension of training. My genuine advice: come at 6 AM for the early session to get three extra practice rounds, avoid the summer rush when students pile in, and remember that a retest requires an additional 6 hours of practice.

Haha, reminds me of the days when I was learning to drive and constantly outsmarting my instructor! I was scheduled for a total of 42 hours for Subject 2, but continuous practice actually works best. Parallel parking took the most time—I scraped the curb five times before finally passing. Here's a little secret: rainy days mean fewer training cars, so you can practice more. Bringing a pack of cigarettes for the instructor might buy you extra time, but you still need to clock in 40 hours on the electronic training card yourself. If you fail the test due to nerves, retaking it requires an additional 10 hours of practice—costly and time-consuming!

According to the 2023 driving test regulations, Subject 2 adopts a segmented training system: 8 hours for basic driving in the first stage, 16 hours for field projects in the second stage, and 16 hours for road driving in the third stage. Taking the Shenzhen test site as an example, 85% of the trainees pass within 45-50 hours, with the highest average retraining rate of 37% for hill-start parking. It is recommended to avoid the peak period of 18:00 when booking through the Driving Test Treasure APP, otherwise the actual practice time may be less than 70 minutes in 2 hours.

Are Automatic Transmission Cars Easy to Operate?

Automatic transmission cars are easy to operate. The most direct difference between automatic and manual transmission cars lies in the difficulty of operation. Automatic transmission cars have different gears set for starting, accelerating, and stopping, making them very convenient to use. In contrast, manual transmission cars require the driver to handle all these operations themselves. The "P" on the gear of an automatic transmission car stands for parking, meaning this gear must be used when parking. When you shift the gear lever to "P" while parking, the car's internal system will automatically lock, preventing the car from moving. If you need to stay parked for a long time or before getting out of the car, be sure to engage the handbrake and promptly shift the gear to "P." However, it's important to note that when using this gear, you must wait until the car has completely stopped before shifting to "P," otherwise, it may cause wear and tear on the car's internal components. The correct sequence is: shift to "P," turn off the engine, and then engage the handbrake. The "R" gear is used for reversing, whether it's an automatic or manual transmission car. When reversing, automatic transmission cars behave differently from manual ones because they cannot achieve semi-engagement, making it harder to sense the car's condition. Therefore, extra caution is needed when using the accelerator pedal during reversing. Generally, you must press the safety button to use this gear. It is strictly prohibited to shift to "R" before the car has completely stopped, as this can damage the engine.

What is the 12123 Study to Reduce Points?

Study to Reduce Points related information is as follows: 1. Concept of Study to Reduce Points: Study to Reduce Points is for drivers holding a driver's license who have been penalized with points due to traffic violations. By participating in online traffic safety learning and passing the exam, they can have their points reduced. 2. Online Learning: To apply for 'Study to Reduce Points' online learning, continuous study for at least 5 minutes is required, which counts towards cumulative learning time. Accumulating 30 minutes of study within 3 days counts as one session. After meeting the learning time requirement, you can apply to take the online exam within 7 working days. If the exam is not passed, a make-up exam can be taken within 24 hours, with a limit of 2 make-up attempts. 3. Exam Method: The exam randomly selects 20 questions from a question bank, with a maximum of 60 seconds to answer each question. Accumulating 3 wrong answers or unanswered questions due to timeout results in exam failure and exit from the exam. On-site learning must last at least 1 hour each time, followed by an exam. 4. Reduction Rules: After receiving traffic safety education as required, eligible drivers can have points deducted from their existing accumulated points, with a maximum reduction of 6 points. However, this cannot be used to reduce points for traffic violations that have not yet occurred. Passing the online learning and exam reduces 1 point per session; passing on-site learning and exam reduces 2 points per session; participating in traffic safety public activities reduces 1 point per session.

Can a C2 license drive a semi-automatic car?

C2 license holders can drive semi-automatic cars because semi-automatic refers to automatic transmission vehicles, which fall within the permissible driving scope of a C2 license. Therefore, according to driving license regulations, C2 license holders are allowed to operate semi-automatic cars. Automatic transmission vehicles do not require gear shifting during driving, whereas manual transmission vehicles need timely gear changes to adjust vehicle speed and engine torque variations. In addition to automatic transmission cars, C2 license holders can also drive small and micro automatic transmission passenger vehicles, as well as light and micro automatic transmission cargo vehicles. Vehicles that cannot be driven with a C2 license: Large vehicles, such as those with more than nine seats or with a body length significantly exceeding six meters, cannot be driven with a C2 license. Additionally, even if the vehicle has fewer than nine seats and a body length under six meters, it cannot be driven if it has a manual transmission. Driving such vehicles without the proper license is considered unlicensed driving and may result in penalties such as fines and demerit points if caught. Type of semi-automatic cars: Semi-automatic cars belong to the automatic transmission category. They are equipped with a semi-automatic accelerator, which differs from the accelerator in manual transmission vehicles. The semi-automatic accelerator can only be used for acceleration or deceleration and does not allow gear selection, whereas manual transmission vehicles enable free gear selection in conjunction with clutch operation for skilled and flexible driving. Moreover, semi-automatic cars do not have a clutch pedal, meaning there is no clutch operation involved, confirming that semi-automatic cars are automatic transmission vehicles.

Within how many days should I register my car after a color change?

After applying a wrap at a certified modification shop, the shop will provide the owner with a receipt or invoice. The owner can register the change at the vehicle management office within 10 days from the date the invoice is issued. According to Article 56 of the "Regulations on the Registration of Motor Vehicles," if the vehicle's color is changed without registering the modification as required, the traffic management department of the public security authority may issue a warning or impose a fine. The vehicle may also be impounded and required to be restored to its original color. To apply for a change in the vehicle's body color, the following documents must be submitted in accordance with the "Road Traffic Safety Law": "Application Form for Modification Registration of Motor Vehicles," identity proof of the vehicle owner and their agent, the motor vehicle registration certificate, and the motor vehicle driving license. According to Article 6, Chapter 2 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law," if the area of color change does not exceed 30% of the vehicle's surface, no modification registration is required. Conversely, if it exceeds 30%, the change must be registered, and the registration must be completed within 10 days after the color change. Important considerations for vehicle color changes: Before changing the vehicle's color, consult the local vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to confirm whether the area permits changing the vehicle's color using wraps. If the region does not support this method, the modification cannot be registered, and the wrap must be completely removed to restore the vehicle's original color. Additionally, according to the "Regulations on the Registration of Motor Vehicles," owners are no longer required to apply to the vehicle management office in advance. They can first change the vehicle's color, install body kits, replace the engine, etc., and then apply for modification registration with the vehicle management office. According to Article 10, registered motor vehicles must apply for modification registration under the following circumstances: Change of body color. Replacement of the engine. Replacement of the body or frame. Replacement of the entire vehicle due to quality issues. Change from commercial to non-commercial use or vice versa. The owner's residence moves out of or into the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office. Furthermore, according to Article 15 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles must be painted with designated patterns and equipped with alarms and signal lights as required. Other motor vehicles are prohibited from using patterns, alarms, or signal lights that are specific to or resemble those of the aforementioned vehicles.
