How many points can be deducted at most to pass the Subject 2 test?

Subject 2 test allows a maximum deduction of 20 points to pass. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the full score for the Subject 2 test is 100 points. For large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required to pass, while other vehicle types require a score of 80 or above. Below is relevant information about Subject 2: 1. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment and refers to the field driving skills test. The test items for small cars C1/C2 include five mandatory tests: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-turns). Some regions also include a sixth item: high-speed toll collection. 2. The number of Subject 2 test attempts is limited to five: Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of attempts for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skill tests cannot exceed five. If the fifth attempt is still unsuccessful, the results of other previously passed subjects will be invalidated. 3. Test content: For small cars, small automatic transmission cars, small automatic transmission cars for the disabled, and low-speed trucks, the test includes reversing into a garage, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, curve driving, and right-angle turns.
I was extremely nervous during the test. The field driving section has a total score of 100, and you need at least 80 to pass, meaning you can only lose up to 20 points. Last time, I made a small mistake—during parallel parking, the front of the car slightly touched the line, which cost me 5 points. Fortunately, I kept steady on the other tasks. The key is to avoid major mistakes, like having the wheels cross the line by more than 50%, which results in a full 100-point deduction and an immediate fail. So during practice, I focused on checking the mirrors to control the distance and drove slowly without rushing. I passed that time with 18 points deducted—barely made it. My advice is to get enough sleep before the test to stay sharp; better focus means fewer deductions. But in real driving, safety always comes first.
I often tell beginners this: the field test is scored out of 100, with 80 being the passing mark. You can still pass even if you lose up to 20 points. But pay attention to the deduction rules: stalling at start-up deducts 10 points, stopping midway deducts 5 points, and the car body crossing the line deducts 100 points, resulting in immediate failure. Therefore, the key to practice lies in the details, such as checking the angle when reversing into the garage and completing it in one go. I recommend using a mobile app to simulate practice—it's free and convenient, helping to reduce mistakes in the actual test. Losing more than 20 points means failing, leading to retakes that cost both money and time. Practice several times in advance to ensure stability.
