According to the 'Motor Vehicle Driver Training and Examination Syllabus,' for the commonly tested C1 and C2 driver's licenses, a minimum of 16 hours is required for Subject 2. Below is a detailed introduction to the Subject 2 examination: Overview: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviation for the field driving skills test. The C1/C2 test items include five mandatory components: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves. Additional Information: If the first attempt at Subject 2 is unsuccessful, a retake is allowed. If the retake is not taken or is still unsuccessful, the examination is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skills test permit, the number of times Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills tests can be scheduled for examination must not exceed five.
I personally experienced this last year when getting my driver's license - you must complete at least 12 hours of practical training for Subject 2 before being eligible to schedule the exam. The driving school system strictly tracks training hours. I went three times a week to practice reversing into garages, parallel parking and other maneuvers. At first it felt quite boring, but gradually I realized the time investment was worthwhile as it helped prevent nervous mistakes during the test. Calculating it out, each session lasts 45 minutes, totaling 14-16 sessions equivalent to about 12 hours. My advice is don't slack off - plan your schedule in advance, preferably practicing several times a week in distributed sessions. This helps reinforce skills without causing excessive fatigue. After completing the training, I passed the test on my first attempt, thanks to that solid practice foundation.
