How Many Days of Practice Are Required Before Taking the Driving Test (Subject 2)?
2 Answers
In theory, an average beginner student starting from scratch typically requires about 5 days to grasp the fundamental essentials and techniques of each item in Subject 2. The remaining time needed for comprehension varies from person to person. Extended information is as follows: Introduction: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviated term for the field driving skills test subject. Test Content: For small vehicle C1 license, the test items include five mandatory components: reverse parking (garage), parallel parking, hill start and stop, right-angle turn, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curve). Some regions may include a sixth item: high-speed toll card collection. For C2 license, the test comprises four mandatory items: reverse parking (garage), parallel parking, right-angle turn, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curve).
As a driving instructor, I've seen thousands of students. The time needed for Subject 2 practice mainly depends on individual driving sense: Young people with good hand-foot coordination usually need just 15 days with 2 hours daily practice, but must meet two conditions: first, clutch control must be stable enough to prevent stalling; second, they must be able to independently complete reverse parking with 100% accuracy. Middle-aged students are advised to practice 3-5 extra days, focusing particularly on preventing rollback during hill starts. Before the test, conduct at least 3 on-site mock exams at the test center, paying special attention to aligning the wiper blade reference points with ground markings.
