Parallel parking, curve driving, right-angle turn, hill start and stop, pole test, single-plank bridge crossing, narrow gate passing, bumpy road driving, simulated highway driving, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnel passing, simulated rainy/foggy weather driving, simulated slippery road driving, and emergency handling—totaling 14 items in the B1 driver's license Subject 2 test. Below are the details of the B1 Subject 2 test items: Pole test: Reverse into the B garage from the starting point and stop correctly, then move the car twice forward and twice backward to shift to the A garage and stop correctly. Proceed forward to exit from the B garage to the control line, reverse into the A garage and stop correctly, then move forward back to the starting point. The vehicle must not stop during movement, and the total time must not exceed 8 minutes. Parallel parking: After parking the vehicle to the right in front of the garage, reverse into the garage in one go without stopping. The wheels must not touch or cross the lane or garage boundary lines. Single-plank bridge crossing: During the test, the vehicle must not stop, and the wheels must not fall off the bridge. Narrow road U-turn: Park the vehicle to the right at the U-turn section, complete the U-turn within no more than three forward and two backward movements. The test time must not exceed 5 minutes. Continuous obstacle crossing: Use second gear or higher to drive over the obstacles (round cakes) without touching, scraping, or running over them. The wheels must not cross the road edges. The vehicle must not stop during the process. Right-angle turn: Drive the vehicle along the designated route, making a right-angle turn from left to right or right to left in one go without stopping. The wheels must not touch the lane boundary lines. Hill start and stop: Control the vehicle to stop accurately and start smoothly without rolling back. The start time must not exceed 30 seconds. Simulated highway driving: After entering the highway via the ramp, turn on the left turn signal, look back to observe traffic, and accelerate to merge into the lane at the minimum speed limit. Turn off the signal after merging. When changing lanes, turn on the turn signal for the intended lane, observe traffic, and change lanes safely. When exiting the highway, adjust speed and lane in advance based on exit signs. Simulated emergency handling: During normal driving, one of the following emergencies will be randomly simulated via voice or lights: If an obstacle suddenly appears ahead, brake immediately and stop quickly. After stopping, turn on the hazard warning lights. In case of a tire blowout or other vehicle malfunction on the highway, slow down appropriately, observe following traffic, park safely on the emergency lane, turn on hazard lights, prompt passengers to move behind the guardrail, place warning signs correctly, and simulate calling for help. Simulated tunnel driving: Observe tunnel road signs before entering, follow instructions, slow down, turn on headlights, and honk. Honk again and turn off headlights when exiting. Do not honk in no-honking zones. Simulated rainy/foggy weather driving: Slow down. Adjust wiper speed based on rain intensity. In fog, turn on fog lights, position lights, headlights, and hazard warning lights. Simulated slippery road driving: Slow down before entering, then drive at low gear with steady control. Simulated continuous sharp turns on mountain roads: Slow down before turns, stay to the right, honk before entering, and avoid occupying the opposite lane. Bumpy road driving: Slow down before entering and pass slowly without stopping. Narrow gate passing: Drive through the three gates at no less than 10 km/h without touching the hanging poles.

I just passed the B1 Subject 2 driving test, which consists of 9 items, each testing driving skills. The pole test requires precise reverse parking, the slope start practices clutch control to prevent rollback, parallel parking assesses parking ability, the single-plank bridge demands accurate crossing without wheel deviation, curve driving evaluates corner control, right-angle turns assess steering timing, the narrow gate teaches passage through tight spaces, continuous obstacles simulate variable road conditions, and the undulating road handles bumpy terrain. The test was stressful, and I spent weeks practicing, especially on the pole test and narrow gate which were prone to mistakes. I recommend simulating the test environment more, enhancing steering wheel feel training, as practice makes perfect. Don't forget to bring your ID and keep a steady mindset—the goal is to pass safely.

Having been in the driver training circle for a long time, I fully understand the importance of the B1 Category 2 test. The inclusion of 9 items is not arbitrary: the pole test evaluates reversing skills, the hill start assesses clutch coordination, the parallel parking checks parking ability, the single-plank bridge, S-curve, and right-angle turn measure steering precision, the narrow gate trains spatial awareness, the continuous obstacles test comprehensive adaptability, and the bumpy road evaluates shock absorption response. These designs ensure drivers can safely operate medium-sized buses. Trainees often struggle with the single-plank bridge and continuous obstacles, so I emphasize practicing with real vehicles and repeatedly rehearsing on the training ground. Remember, focus on details like speed control and blind spot observation, and thorough preparation is key to passing on the first attempt.

My child is preparing for the B1 Subject 2 driving test, which includes 9 items: pole test, hill start, parallel parking, single-plank bridge, curve driving, right-angle turn, width-limited gate, continuous obstacles, and bumpy road. Each item has its significance. For example, the single-plank bridge trains precise tire contact, and curve driving improves safety on bends. The test is moderately difficult but requires carefulness. It is recommended to visit the test site early to familiarize with the route, practice timed simulations regularly, and not neglect angle adjustments in parallel parking. Stay calm and avoid nervous mistakes. With good practice, driving on the road will be more confident and safe.
