How many items are there in the C1 Subject 2 test?
3 Answers
The C1 Subject 2 test is mainly divided into five items: reverse parking, parallel parking, curve driving, right-angle turning, and slope fixed-point parking and starting. In some areas, there is a sixth item: high-speed card collection. For automatic transmission (C2), the slope fixed-point parking and starting are not tested. A C1 driver's license allows driving small and micro passenger vehicles, among others. Introduction and tips for the Subject 2 test: During the Subject 2 test, before driving, be sure to adjust the seat height, adjust the rearview mirror to ensure a wide field of vision, and fasten the seat belt. During the test, as long as the voice does not indicate failure, do not stop. Parallel parking: Park the car in the parking space without pressing or sweeping the lines. Tips: Remember to find the right angle, turn the steering wheel quickly, react promptly, and coordinate with the car's speed. Slope fixed-point parking: Drive the car slowly up the slope and stop within the designated area. Tips: Remember to pull the handbrake, turn on the left turn signal when starting, release the handbrake, stabilize the clutch, and gently press the accelerator while releasing the clutch to avoid stalling or rolling back. Right-angle turning: Prepare to turn 90 degrees while driving straight without pressing or sweeping the lines. Tips: Find the reference point before turning and coordinate with the car's speed. Curve driving (S-curve): Drive slowly through the S-curve without pressing or sweeping the lines. Tips: Control the speed, slow down, and coordinate the timing of the car's front turning. Reverse parking: Reverse the car into the garage without stalling or pressing/sweeping the lines. Tips: Control the speed, find the reference point, and make slight adjustments when observing deviations in the rearview mirror. C1 driver's license test passing standards: Traffic regulations and related knowledge—90 points to pass. Field driving—80 points to pass. Road driving—80 points to pass. Safe and civilized driving. The C1 test has a total of four subjects. The other three items are as follows: Subject 1: Mainly tests basic road traffic knowledge. Subject 3: Mainly tests 16 driving skills including preparation for driving, starting, and straight-line driving. Subject 4: Mainly tests safe and civilized driving operation requirements, similar to Subject 1, both are theoretical tests.
When I was studying for my C1 driver's license, I thoroughly researched Subject 2. I heard there are five test items in total: reversing into a parking space (reverse parking), parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, 90-degree turns, and curve driving, commonly known as the S-curve. During that practice period, I went to the driving school several times a week. The instructor watched us repeat the drills over and over. Reverse parking was particularly challenging for spatial awareness, parallel parking required precise alignment within the marked space, hill starts would stall if you weren't careful, and both 90-degree turns and S-curves demanded controlled speed to avoid crossing lines. Every mistake drew nagging from the instructor, and the pre-test pressure was intense—luckily, I passed on my first attempt. Looking back now, those fundamental skills are genuinely useful for daily driving; parking maneuvers don’t faze me at all.
As a driving instructor who has taught many students, I can clearly tell you that the C1 Subject 2 test consists of five fixed items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving. When training beginners, we focus on these areas. For example, reversing into a garage requires practicing over ten times to get the hang of it, parallel parking teaches key positioning techniques, starting on a slope requires coordinating clutch release with the accelerator, right-angle turns have a small turning radius and are prone to errors, and S-curves require practicing slow-speed steering control. All five items must be passed in the exam—failing any one means failure overall—so I recommend doing a few practice simulations beforehand.
