How many total training hours are required for Subject 2?

Subject 2 requires 24 training hours, consisting of 2 hours of theoretical instruction and 22 hours of practical operation. Below are the key points to note for the Subject 2 test: 1. Reverse Parking: The main deduction points for reverse parking include running over lines, failing to enter the parking space, exceeding the time limit, and not following the designated route. After the new regulations, reverse parking now has a time limit of 210 seconds; exceeding this time results in failure. During the test, perform right-side reverse parking first, followed by left-side reverse parking. Not following this sequence will result in failure. Pay attention to maintaining a 30cm margin from the side. 2. Parallel Parking: The main deduction points for parallel parking involve turn signals, maintaining a 30cm margin, and running over lines. When entering the test area, steer right in advance and align the highest point of the windshield wiper with the roadside line to adjust the 30cm margin. During reverse parking, remember the first right full-lock point, straightening the wheels, then left full-lock, parking in the space, and activating the left turn signal. When exiting, observe the rearview mirrors to prevent the wheels from running over the lines. 3. 90-Degree Turn: The main deduction points for the 90-degree turn involve turn signals and running over lines. Activate the turn signal upon entering the test area and turn it off after the voice prompt. Incorrect turn signal operation deducts 10 points. After entering the 90-degree turn, adjust the vehicle to maintain a 30cm margin from the side line, similar to parallel parking. When performing the full-lock turn, slightly release the clutch to prevent stalling or stopping midway. Straighten the vehicle only after the rear wheels exit the turn to prevent
I just finished my Subject 2 driving test recently, and I remember the required training hours are quite fixed, usually at least 16 hours. However, these 16 hours aren't just about practicing randomly—they must be allocated according to regulations: 4 hours for reverse parking, 4 hours for hill start and stop, and the remaining 8 hours divided among parallel parking, right-angle turns, and curve driving. When I was clocking in at the driving school, I also noticed that every student had to record their training hours via facial recognition, and the system was extremely strict—even one minute short wouldn't count. I suggest you ask the driving school clearly when signing up if they offer a package that covers training hours. Some schools provide extra practice time, as 16 hours might not be enough for beginners, especially for mastering basics like clutch control. During actual practice, the instructor will arrange flexibly based on your progress. For example, my cousin, who learned to drive an automatic, had 2 hours less hill practice.
