How to Avoid Crossing the Line in Subject 2?

[StTaylor]

For navigating S-curves, there is a mnemonic technique: "Left point aligns with the right line, right point aligns with the left line." The left and right points refer to the top corners of the car's front. This means when turning in a particular direction, use the corresponding top corner to follow the opposite side's road edge line. Below is an introduction to Subject 2: Definition: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment, specifically referring to the field driving skills test. Objective: Master the basic driving operation essentials and possess fundamental vehicle control abilities; proficiently grasp the basic methods of field and road driving within the test area, capable of reasonably using vehicle controls and correctly managing the vehicle's spatial position, ensuring accurate control over the vehicle's position, speed, and route.

The key to avoiding crossing lines in Subject 2 lies in mastering the basics. Before each test, I adjust the seat to the optimal position so I can see the edge of the front hood. Clutch control should be as gentle as stepping on an egg, with the speed slow enough to clearly see every inch of the white line. Steering must be decisive but not abrupt—for example, turning half a meter early for right-angle turns and correcting afterward if needed. Rearview mirrors should be adjusted to see the rear wheels, focusing on the distance between the tires and the line during reverse parking. The timing of straightening the steering wheel is crucial; I mark a reference point on the A-pillar of the training car for alignment. During practice, I had a friend record videos to study the wheel tracks repeatedly, which made the actual test much smoother.

Avoiding the pressure lines is like playing a real-life racing game. I rely heavily on the coordination of the three rearview mirrors, such as straightening the steering wheel when I see the corner of the parking space in the left mirror while reversing into a spot. I control the speed using the half-clutch technique, with my right foot lightly resting on the brake, ready at any moment. Steering wheel operations need to be crisp but not too forceful, and I judge the timing of turning in advance when making a turn. Remember to keep the front of the car moving with the rhythm of the road; if you feel the tires are about to touch the line, steer slightly in the opposite direction. I also practice in open areas by simulating the test course with chalk, repeatedly practicing entering and exiting at different angles. Now, I can even calculate the exact position of the wheels with my eyes closed.

I believe mindset and focus are more crucial. During the test, take deep breaths to steady your heartbeat and fix your gaze between the white line and the wheels. Your left foot on the clutch should feel glued to the floor, maintaining a snail's pace. When turning the wheel, count three seconds silently and rotate at a steady speed to avoid jerking the wheel and causing the car to skid. Pay special attention to hill starts, as they're prone to nervousness and crossing lines—first release the clutch until the car slightly vibrates, then release the handbrake. Before each practice, check the rearview mirror angles to ensure clear visibility of the tire tracks.
