How many points can be deducted in Subject 2?

[McJaxon]

Subject 2 allows a deduction of up to 100 points. Below is an introduction to the examination subjects: 1. Subject 1: Road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge examination. The structure of the exam question bank and the basic question types are formulated by the Ministry of Public Security, while provincial traffic management departments under the public security authorities establish the exam question bank for their respective provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) based on local conditions. 2. Subject 2: Field driving skills examination. The test items include: reversing into a garage, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, driving along a curve, and parallel parking. In cities like Shanghai, Subject 2 consists of nine mandatory test items: reversing into a garage, turning at a right angle, parallel parking, driving through a tunnel, stopping to take a card, driving along a curve, making a U-turn on a narrow road, emergency stopping, and stopping and starting on a slope. 3. Subject 3: Road driving skills examination. The basic test items include: preparation before driving (walking around the vehicle counterclockwise, fastening the seat belt, turning on the left turn signal, shifting gears, releasing the handbrake, and honking the horn), starting, driving straight, changing lanes, passing through intersections, parking by the roadside, passing through pedestrian crossings, passing through school zones, passing through bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night.

The total score for Subject 2 driving test is 100 points, and the passing score in most regions is 80, meaning you can afford to lose up to 20 points and still pass. From my personal exam experience, there are many common point deductions, such as 10 points for crossing or going out of the line during reverse parking, 10 points for improper side parking, 10 points for stalling or rolling back on a slope start, and another 10 points for crossing the line during a right-angle turn. I also remember the points emphasized by the instructor during practice—forgetting the turn signal or exceeding the time limit at the start can cost you 10 points per mistake. The key is to simulate the real test environment frequently, develop a feel for the car, and minimize basic errors. Stay calm under pressure; don’t clutch too hard out of nervousness, or you’ll likely lose points. Solid practice reduces the chance of accumulating excessive deductions.

When learning to drive and taking the Subject 2 test, the instructor repeatedly reminded me that there is a maximum limit on the points that can be deducted. The total score is 100 points, and the passing score is usually 80 points, so I can only afford to lose a maximum of 20 points to pass. Specifically, points are deducted for various operations: 10 points for crossing the line during reverse parking, 10 points for touching the edge during parallel parking, 10 points for stalling during hill starts, and 10 points for mistakes during right-angle turns. I advise beginners not to overlook details, as even improper seat and mirror adjustments can lead to point deductions, which can add up and exceed the limit. During practice, pay extra attention to distance and reference points, and simulate the test to reduce unexpected errors. Stay relaxed, control your speed well, and master the clutch’s semi-engagement to minimize point deductions. Remember, the test is a one-time opportunity—don’t let small mistakes accumulate into big problems. Ensure your deductions stay within 20 points, and you’ll be safe.

For the Subject 2 driving test, the maximum deduction is 20 points below the passing score of 80 out of 100. Common point deductions include 10 points for hitting the line while reversing and 10 points for stalling on a slope. Just practice more and stay calm during the test.
