How many items are there in the C1 Subject 2 test in 2021?
2 Answers
The C1 Subject 2 test is mainly divided into five items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, curve driving, right-angle turning, and stopping and starting on a slope. For automatic transmission (C2) Subject 2, stopping and starting on a slope is not tested. A C1 driver's license allows driving small and micro passenger vehicles, among others. C1 test has four subjects in total, with other items as follows: Subject 1: Mainly tests basic knowledge of road traffic; Subject 3: Mainly tests 16 driving skills including vehicle preparation, starting, and straight-line driving; Subject 4: Mainly tests the requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, similar to Subject 1, both are theoretical tests. Subject 2 test tips: 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, do not stop unless the voice prompts a failure. The secret to reversing into a garage is: the point to turn the steering wheel fully, the 30 cm point to straighten, and the point to stop in the garage. For parallel parking, remember to find the right angle, turn the steering wheel quickly, react quickly, and coordinate with the vehicle's speed. For stopping on a slope, remember to pull the handbrake, start with the left turn signal, release the handbrake, stabilize the clutch, and step on the accelerator while releasing the clutch to avoid stalling or rolling back. For right-angle turning, find the reference point before turning and coordinate with the vehicle speed. For curve driving (S-curve), slow down. When reversing into a garage, control the speed, find the reference point, and know how to make minor adjustments if there is any deviation observed in the rearview mirror. Subject 2 deduction items: Reversing into a garage: Vehicle body out of line, deduct 100 points, judged as unqualified; failure to enter the garage, deduct 100 points, judged as unqualified; stopping midway, deduct 5 points each time; failure to complete the test within the specified time, deduct 100 points, judged as unqualified; Parallel parking: After the vehicle stops in the garage, the body out of line deducts 100 points, judged as unqualified; stopping midway, deduct 5 points each time; tires or body touching the edge line during driving, deduct 10 points; failure to complete the test within the specified time, deduct 100 points, judged as unqualified; Curve driving: Wheels pressing the road edge line, unqualified; stopping midway, unqualified; driving gear not in second gear or above, deduct 5 points. Right-angle turning: Wheels pressing the road edge line, unqualified; stopping midway, deduct 5 points each time. Stopping and starting on a slope: After the vehicle stops, if the front bumper of the car or the front axle of the motorcycle is not on the pole line and exceeds 50 cm front or back, unqualified; starting time exceeds the specified time, unqualified; after the vehicle stops, if the front bumper of the car or the front axle of the motorcycle is not on the pole line and does not exceed 50 cm front or back, deduct 10 points; after the vehicle stops, if the body distance from the road edge line exceeds 30 cm but not 50 cm, deduct 10 points. Failure to tighten the parking brake after stopping, deduct 10 points.
I remember when taking the C1 driver's license test for Subject 2 in 2021, there were a total of five items: reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start and stop, right-angle turn, and curve driving. These items may not sound like much, but each one really tests your basic skills. Reverse parking was the hardest—newbies often end up crooked or crossing the line. Parallel parking requires precise distance control and is super practical in real-world driving. Hill starts must avoid rolling back, or you'll lose points. Right-angle turns seem simple, but taking them too sharply can cause issues. Curve driving, also called S-turns, demands speed control to prevent scraping. During practice, I often trained until dark, focusing on repeatedly simulating test conditions—not just relying on memorizing reference points, as real driving depends on your eyes and instincts. Passing Subject 2 means moving on to Subject 3 road test, and I feel these fundamentals are crucial for safe driving. Always ask your instructor for tips during practice—it saves a lot of trial and error. Passing on the first try is ideal, but don't get discouraged if you need retakes; persistence is key.
