How Many Class Hours Are There for Driving Test Subject 2?

C1 driver's license Subject 2 requires 16 class hours, while C2 driver's license Subject 2 requires 14 class hours. Examination Content for Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, consists of five assessment items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through an S-curve. In some regions, there is a sixth item: high-speed toll card collection. Important Notes for Subject 2 Test: During the preparation before getting into the car, you must adjust the seat and fasten the seat belt before verifying your fingerprint; each test item in the examination area is monitored by GPS positioning. The control line (yellow dotted line) for each item represents the examination area for that item. Once the front of the vehicle crosses the control line, it means you have entered the examination for that item and must complete the test according to its rules; before proceeding to the next test item, always check if there is a vehicle ahead still undergoing the test. If there is a vehicle in the test area ahead, you must stop and wait before the yellow line of that item and must not enter.

In my experience, the required hours for Subject 2 are usually quite strict, typically ranging between 10 to 16 hours depending on local regulations, but the exact number depends on the driving school and local DMV requirements. The allocated hours cover key skills practice such as reverse parking, parallel parking, and hill starts, with each item having a specific time proportion—for instance, reverse parking usually takes up the bulk. Insufficient practice hours often lead to mistakes among trainees. I've instructed many students, and shorter practice hours increase their stress levels, resulting in lower pass rates. Therefore, I recommend not rushing to cut down practice hours when learning to drive—completing the full hours diligently ensures safety. Nowadays, some regions have even increased practice hours for intensive training, reflecting the growing emphasis on road safety.

Back when I was learning to drive, the required hours for Subject 2 felt quite lengthy, roughly around 12 hours in total. The training included learning how to control the clutch and steering wheel, as well as repeatedly practicing parking maneuvers in simulated test environments. The instructor always emphasized making proper use of the allocated hours, warning against cutting corners to save time, as that could lead to mistakes when actually driving on the road. The hour allocation was set by the driving school according to standards, with specific time assigned to each exercise to gradually build a solid foundation. Looking back now, although the long hours were tiring, they were absolutely worth it—they helped me develop meticulous driving habits.

From a policy perspective, the required hours for Subject 2 in driver's license tests have become increasingly standardized. While training durations might have been shorter in the past, modern regulations typically mandate 10 to 15 hours of practice, aiming to reduce accidents caused by novice drivers. The curriculum covers every aspect of closed-course driving, such as hill starts and curve navigation, ensuring each maneuver is thoroughly practiced. Insufficient training carries significant risks—data I've reviewed shows higher pass rates among students who complete the full hours. This reflects progress in road safety awareness.
