In the Subject 2 driving test, a score of 80 or above is required to pass, and deducting more than 20 points will result in failure. Additional information: 1. Subject 2 test items: 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. It includes five items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, right-angle turns, curve driving, and stopping and starting on a slope. 2. Notes: Starting from June 1, 2021, the 'stopping and starting on a slope' item will be removed from the Subject 2 test for small automatic transmission vehicle driver's licenses.

The Subject 2 driving test has a total score of 100, and you need at least 80 to pass. Losing more than 20 points means an automatic failure. Here are some mistakes that will cost you 100 points immediately: hitting or crossing the line during reverse parking, the same goes for parallel parking; if you park more than 50 cm from the curb or roll back more than 30 cm on a slope, it’s game over; stopping for more than 2 seconds during the test is an instant fail, even if it’s just stalling and not shifting to neutral before restarting. Some students practice well but forget to fasten their seatbelt, failing as soon as they start—what a shame. Every time I see students fail because of these small details, I feel it’s crucial to remind them in advance.

As a veteran driving instructor, I always emphasize the critical mistakes that result in an immediate 100-point deduction during exams. For instance, touching the line with the front wheels during reverse parking means an automatic fail. Similarly, failing to stop the car's front within the marked line on the slope with significant deviation leads to failure. Additionally, stalling or stopping arbitrarily during the test is prohibited unless specific tasks allow it. Recently, one of my students touched the line during a 90-degree turn, resulting in a 100-point deduction and an immediate retake. Moreover, basic errors like not wearing a seatbelt or adjusting mirrors properly are equally fatal. New learners often overlook these seemingly simple actions, only to stumble because of them.

Last month, I just passed the Subject 2 test, and my biggest worry was getting a full 100-point deduction and failing directly. These situations will definitely cause you to fail during the test: reversing over the line, parallel parking over the line, exceeding the parking limit on the slope, stalling without shifting to neutral. On my first attempt, I was so nervous that I rolled back more than 30 cm on the slope start, resulting in a 100-point deduction. Also, make sure to fasten your seatbelt and ensure the gear is in neutral before starting, otherwise, it's game over as soon as you get in the car. Only after completing the test did I understand why the instructor always said Subject 2 is a test of details—a slight oversight can cost you big points.
