Generally, the class hours for C1 Subject 2 are 16 hours, while for C2 Subject 2, it's 14 hours. However, the actual time required may vary depending on individual progress. Faster learners may need less time, while others may require more. Duration of Subject 2 Class Hours: Each class hour is 60 minutes, with effective teaching time not less than 45 minutes. Additionally, each student's daily classroom learning and practical operation time should not exceed 4 hours; that is, a maximum of 4 class hours can be logged per day, and any excess will not be recorded by the system. Notes for Subject 2 Exam: Drive the car to the stop line position for the right reverse parking, stop when your shoulder aligns with the stop line, and shift into reverse gear to start the parking. When entering the side parking test area, use the raised part of the wiper as a reference to follow the road edge line. Before entering the curve driving test area, position the vehicle slightly to the left to enter the curve. After driving into the curve, exit from the other end. Upon entering the right-angle turn area, determine whether it's a right or left turn. Before ascending the slope, maintain a 30 cm distance between the vehicle body and the road edge line, and drive straight.

Back when I was learning to drive, the instructor had a pretty clear schedule arranged. For Subject 2, you usually need to practice for 16 to 24 sessions, depending on the driving school's arrangement and local regulations. The new rules are stricter now, requiring at least 6 dedicated sessions for challenging maneuvers like reverse parking and parallel parking. My instructor even had me do extra practice for hill starts twice. Honestly, the number of sessions isn't the main point—what really matters is developing muscle memory to steer without looking at your hands and release the clutch without glancing down. My advice is not to just focus on the session count. Reviewing your driving recorder footage after each practice session will help you improve faster, ensuring you can stop within 30 cm of the line on the slope during the test.

Last time when I accompanied my cousin to the driving school for registration, I specifically asked about the required hours. The DMV mandates a minimum of 16 sessions, but driving schools usually extend it to around 20 sessions. Among the five items in Subject 2, the curve driving and right-angle turning seem simple but are actually the most prone to crossing lines. Just these two items alone added 3 extra sessions for me. Remember to adjust the seat and mirrors before each practice—this small detail can prevent 80% of mistakes. The coach privately mentioned that the real concern isn't whether the hours are sufficient, but rather avoiding the car's front sweeping the line during reverse parking in the exam—this has an extremely high failure rate.

Just checked the latest driving test syllabus. The standard requirement for C1 license Subject 2 is 16 class hours, but cities like Shenzhen mandate 20 hours, while Hangzhou adds simulation courses. During my training, I spent 5 hours practicing reverse parking but still couldn't align properly - later realized the rearview mirrors were adjusted too high. The most dreaded test item is actually the hill start: you must complete the handbrake start within 30 seconds, and this segment fails at least 30% of candidates. Recommend extra rainy day practice - mastering clutch control on wet roads shows true skill. New test sites now include narrow road U-turns, so be sure to check local exam rules in advance.
