There are 5 items in Xiamen's Subject 2. The order of the Subject 2 test is to first take the forward and reverse parking, followed by parallel parking, curve driving, right-angle turning, and slope fixed-point parking and starting. The most difficult one is the first item: forward and reverse parking. Reverse parking: It is widely recognized as the most difficult subject in the Subject 2 test, and the difficulty lies in how to grasp the timing of steering. Slope fixed-point parking and starting: Rolling back and stalling during starting are common problems on the slope. If the car shows signs of rolling back during the process of releasing the brake, immediately step on the brake and clutch to stabilize the vehicle, and then restart according to the previous method. Right-angle turning: There are many methods to pass the right-angle turning, and the simplest one is to quickly turn the steering wheel to the end when the engine hood covers the opposite yellow line.

I have been a driving instructor in Xiamen for many years. The second subject of the driving test uniformly consists of five items: reversing into a garage to practice reversing skills, requiring precise spatial positioning; parallel parking simulates roadside parking, paying attention to turning angles to avoid scratches; stopping and starting on a slope checks clutch control, with preventing rollback being the key point; turning at a right angle tests steering flexibility, just don't cross the line; curve driving practices continuous steering, maintaining a steady speed to pass. The test venues in Xiamen are mostly located on the island or in Xiang'an District. Usually, practice is done with a training car. The items are not difficult, the key lies in mastering the details. It is recommended to rest well the day before the test and not drink too much water to avoid affecting performance. Stay calm during the test, and you'll pass naturally. These skills are extremely helpful for everyday driving.

I just passed my Subject 2 driving test last week, and it's still fresh in my memory! Here in Xiamen, Subject 2 consists of five fixed items: parallel parking is the most challenging as panicking easily leads to hitting the poles; side parking resembles real-life scenarios, requiring precise parking positions; the hill start is dreaded for stalling, so gently pressing the clutch is key; right-angle turns depend on timing, with full steering lock applied without haste; and the S-curve demands smooth navigation through continuous bends. The Jimei test center has new facilities, and a few pre-test practice sessions made it easier to handle. My instructor said each item represents everyday driving scenarios, and with more practice, it becomes second nature. After passing, I felt a great sense of achievement and more confident about driving in the future.

I clearly remember taking the driving test in Xiamen before. The five items in Subject 2 were all practiced: reversing into the garage to build basic skills, parallel parking to increase practicality, stopping on a slope to prevent accidental sliding, turning at right angles to improve flexibility, and driving on curves to enhance control. Now, after years of driving, I see young people taking the test, and it's still the same routine. The key is not just to focus on the number of items but to practice more on-site to reduce mistakes.

Buddy, talking about the Xiamen Subject 2 driving test, I heard there are only five items: reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start, right-angle turn, and curve driving. Each is quite practical. For reverse parking, don't hit the sidelines; for parallel parking, align with the markers; for hill start, prevent rolling back; for right-angle turn, don't clip the corner; and for curve driving, rely on your feel for the car. It's recommended to find a partner to help track time during practice. The Xiamen test site is crowded, so don't be late. Taking the test once will show you how important the details are.

As a car enthusiast, the details of Subject 2 are quite fascinating to me. Xiamen's standard five items: reversing into the garage tests spatial perception, parallel parking examines judgment, hill start assesses clutch control, right-angle turns evaluate steering precision, and curve driving practices continuous operation to cultivate basic skills. Preparing with an APP to simulate real-site conditions works well; familiarizing yourself with each item helps avoid minor mistakes and makes the test go smoothly.

More Q&A

What is the body length of the Hongqi H9?

The length, width, and height dimensions of the Hongqi H9 are 5137mm/1904mm/1493mm, which are official data. The length of the Hongqi H9 refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the vehicle. The width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle. The height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the supporting plane of the vehicle. The turbocharged engine of the Hongqi H9 has a maximum power of 185kW and a maximum torque of 380 Nm. This engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 252 and a maximum torque speed range of 1800 to 4000 rpm. It features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. This engine is paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. There are national regulations regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard "GB1589-89," the total width of a vehicle does not include side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. In other words, under national standards, the significance of vehicle width data is to ensure enough space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the requirements of public road usage.

What does the tire size 205/55R16 91H mean?

205 represents the tire's section width of 205 millimeters, 55 represents the tire's aspect ratio, R stands for radial tire, 16 indicates the rim diameter of 16 inches; 91 is the tire's load index; H represents the tire's speed rating. Tire size specification example (taking 195/55R15 as an example): 195 is the section width, which is the area of the tire that can contact the ground, measured in millimeters; 55 is the tire aspect ratio, which is the ratio of the tire's section height to section width. R is the construction mark, with R being the abbreviation for radial tire, while bias-ply tires are represented by the letter "B". Passenger car tires are generally radial tires. 15 is the tire's inner diameter, also known as the wheel diameter, usually measured in inches. Tires also have speed rating letter markings, indicating the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Letters from A to Z represent certified speed ratings ranging from 4.8 km/h to 300 km/h. Common speed ratings include Q for 160 km/h, R for 170 km/h, S for 180 km/h, H for 210 km/h, V for 240 km/h, and W for 270 km/h. Precautions for replacing car tires: When selecting tires, the specifications should be the same as the previous tires and must match the other tire on the same axle, such as speed rating, load index, tread pattern, brand, size, etc., to ensure safe driving. The valve stem should also be replaced because after changing tires, the aging cycles of the new tire and the valve stem differ. During the new tire's lifespan, the valve stem may develop issues, which are not easily noticeable. Therefore, it is best to replace the valve stem when changing tires. Installation direction and inflation: If using the original equipment tire, follow the manufacturer's installation requirements. For non-original tires, generally, the side with the production date should face outward. If it is a directional tire, align the arrow on the wheel with the car's forward direction during installation. During inflation, you can fill the tire to the maximum allowed pressure and then reduce it to the manufacturer's specified standard pressure.

What are the tips for Subject 2?

When you feel the front of the car tilting upward and the rear descending, the engine speed is generally around 1500 rpm, with the needle dropping two small squares, and the car slightly shaking. At this point, keep both feet still, quickly release the handbrake lever with your right hand all the way down, and the car will start moving slowly. If the car doesn't move, slightly lift the clutch pedal by two or three millimeters while gently pressing the accelerator, and the car will start. Note: Do not press the accelerator too hard; the engine speed should not exceed 2000 rpm. Sometimes the examiner may close the throttle, so pay attention to the clutch. Don't lift it too quickly; be more cautious. When you feel the car is about to move, quickly release the handbrake without hesitation. Single-sided bridge: First approach the left single-sided bridge. The left edge of the front hood is the guiding point for the left front wheel's path to the left bridge. After the front wheel leaves the left bridge, turn right. When you see the right bridge approaching the left edge again, turn back to the left. When the right bridge is near the middle of the front car, turn right a little more than one full circle to get onto the bridge. Then make minor adjustments to the direction. Remember the extension line of the right bridge; the path of the right front wheel should be within 20 cm of the middle of the front car. Continuous obstacles: Also known as riding obstacles. First, adjust the car to tilt left and align the first and second obstacles in a straight line with the car. When passing the second obstacle, look at the third obstacle in front of the left side of the car. When the left front wheel is in position, turn left. When you can't see the obstacle for one or two seconds, immediately turn right a little more. Look ahead at the fourth obstacle; when it's about to disappear from the right front of the car, turn left by about two positions, or a little more than one full circle. You can also see the fifth obstacle in the middle of the left side of the car. Move forward slightly, then turn right. Look at the fifth obstacle, turn left when the left front wheel is in position, and turn back when it's no longer visible. When aligned with the second and third obstacles, you can complete the task by riding over the sixth obstacle.

What Are the Hazards of Speeding While Driving a Car?

The hazards of speeding while driving a car are as follows: Hazard 1: Increased vehicle wear. High-speed operation increases the working intensity and load on the vehicle, accelerating the wear and damage of components. Hazard 2: Reduced reaction ability. Due to high speed, the driver's focus tends to be fixed farther ahead, narrowing the field of vision. Objects outside the window often pass by in a flash, while it takes about 0.4 seconds for a person to sense a target within their field of vision and an average of 1 second to clearly identify it. In case of sudden danger, there is insufficient time to judge and take emergency measures. Hazard 3: Extended reaction distance. When a vehicle is traveling at 60 km/h, the average person takes about 0.7 to 1.0 seconds from realizing the danger to applying the brakes, resulting in a reaction distance of approximately 17 meters (free-running distance). At 120 km/h, the reaction distance increases to about 39 meters (free-running distance), doubling the distance. Hazard 4: Extended braking distance. As speed increases, the vehicle's braking performance decreases, the friction coefficient drops, and the braking distance lengthens, making it difficult to stop the vehicle promptly when needed. Hazard 5: Disruption of normal traffic flow. Speeding inevitably leads to frequent overtaking and encountering oncoming vehicles, increasing the driver's psychological stress and disrupting the normal flow of traffic. If the driver's adaptability is weak, they may be overwhelmed by sudden dangers, losing control of the vehicle. Hazard 6: Worsened accident consequences. The kinetic energy of a moving object is proportional to its mass and the square of its speed. Experiments show that when a vehicle hits a concrete wall at 60 km/h, the impact is equivalent to falling from a height of 14 meters (5 stories). At 100 km/h, the impact is equivalent to falling from 39 meters (13 stories), leading to extremely severe consequences.

What to do when ETC sometimes doesn't respond?

If your ETC sometimes doesn't respond, you can go to the ETC expressway to check, or pull over after exiting the toll station and ask the toll station staff. There are mainly 4 reasons why ETC may not respond: 1. Driving too fast through the ETC lane: Currently, the recognition speed at ETC toll stations in China is 30km/h. To ensure successful recognition, it is recommended to keep your speed below 20km/h, otherwise the vehicle information may not be recognized. Additionally, if you drive too fast and the distance to the vehicle in front is less than 10 meters, you might end up paying for the vehicle in front. 2. The ETC tag has expired: In this case, the ETC display will usually show messages like "No OBU" or "Electronic tag expired." This happens if the ETC device becomes loose, falls off, or is dismantled, causing the anti-tamper switch to pop out and reset all data. 3. ETC has no power or other malfunctions: There is no exact rule for how often to charge ETC devices. For solar-powered ETC devices, even if not used frequently, it is recommended to charge them every 3 months to avoid affecting their lifespan due to battery self-discharge. 4. Using someone else's ETC card: The ETC card inserted in the OBU will be detected by the RUS in the lane, using the electronic tag to communicate with the lane antenna via microwaves, automatically completing the entry/exit information reading and payment without stopping, recording the vehicle information and deducting the toll. At the same time, the lane barrier will automatically lift, allowing the vehicle to pass. One vehicle can only use one ETC card, but one ETC card can be bound to multiple vehicles for payment.
