How many points are deducted for braking in Subject 2?

[VivienneDella]

In Subject 2, as long as the vehicle does not stall or stop during the test items, braking is considered for safety reasons when the speed is too fast, and no points will be deducted. Below is relevant information about Subject 2: Introduction: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and refers to the field driving skill test. Test Content: For the C1 license, the test items include five mandatory items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, making a right-angle turn, and driving through curves (commonly known as S-curves). In some regions, there is a sixth item: high-speed card collection. For the C2 license, the test items include four mandatory items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, making a right-angle turn, and driving through curves (commonly known as S-curves).

From my research on driving test regulations, I understand that pressing the brake pedal itself doesn't directly incur penalties in the Subject 2 exam - what matters is whether the operation outcome complies with rules. For instance, during the hill start project, improper brake control causing the vehicle to stop outside designated lines or roll back beyond permitted distance typically results in a 10-point deduction. Similarly, stalling due to excessive braking also deducts 10 points. With a total score of 100, candidates can pass as long as cumulative deductions don't exceed 20 points, so brake-related issues aren't necessarily fatal. Trainees should practice simulating test scenarios more often, focusing on coordinating clutch and brake operation to minimize sudden stops. I recommend reviewing test video replays frequently to familiarize yourself with standard deduction points - this way you won't make mistakes due to panic during the actual exam.

Last time I took the driving test for Subject 2, I didn't brake properly on the slope, causing the car to roll back 20 cm, which deducted 10 points. My heart was racing, but luckily I passed overall. Another friend failed because they hesitated too much and braked excessively during the reverse parking, exceeding the time limit and losing all 100 points. Whether braking deducts points depends on the test requirements: for example, in parallel parking, braking steadily without crossing lines is fine, but frequent braking that delays time will cost points. During practice, the instructor always reminded us to brake lightly to maintain rhythm. Nervousness in the test can easily lead to mistakes, so I suggest everyone practice the movements thoroughly to reduce unnecessary pauses and avoid point deductions.

From the experience of training students, points are often deducted for braking on slopes due to inaccurate parking positions or stalling, resulting in a deduction of around 10 points. The key lies in control rather than the action itself. I emphasize smooth deceleration and timely adjustments to prevent vehicle stalling or crossing boundaries. Each test item has timing requirements, and reckless braking wastes opportunities and easily leads to point deductions. Mastering basic skills such as maintaining consistent speed is crucial.

Improper braking may lead to point deductions, such as a 10-point deduction for position deviation during hill parking or point deductions for stalling, which test the precision of your driving control. In principle, incorrect braking affects vehicle balance and timing. The exam emphasizes safe practical operation, and moderate use is acceptable.

In Subject 2, brake-related penalties are common minor issues, such as a 10-point deduction for rolling back on a slope. I also experienced this during my test but managed to compensate with the total score. Practice more on brake control during training, stay relaxed during the exam, and don’t stress over small mistakes. Improving your skills naturally reduces errors.
