How to Control the Vehicle Speed in Subject 2?

[SanMaggie]

You can practice controlling the vehicle speed through the following three methods: 1. Practice independently before the test to familiarize yourself with the distances between various items in Subject 2. 2. Coordinate the clutch and brake properly. Keep the vehicle moving in a straight line while continuously pressing and releasing the clutch to observe changes in speed and sense the vehicle's vibration state. Press the clutch quickly and release it slowly, with minimal amplitude at all times. Use light braking to achieve deceleration. 3. Master the steering wheel rotation angle. When turning the steering wheel to its limit, slightly reserve some space with your left foot to prepare for lifting, as locking the wheels creates forward resistance, slowing down the vehicle.

I've been teaching driving for many years and have seen too many students struggle with unstable speed control in Subject 2. For manual transmission vehicles, the clutch is the key—gently lift your left foot slowly to find that semi-engaged position, and the speed will remain slow and steady. For automatic transmission, lightly press the accelerator. During reverse parking or parallel parking, driving too fast can cause you to miss reference points or cross lines; driving slowly allows you to clearly observe the surroundings and operate precisely. Be especially careful with hill starts—unstable speed can lead to stalling or rolling back. Beginners often rush; I recommend practicing starting and stopping for half an hour in the training area first to get a feel for the coordination between the clutch and brake. Stay relaxed, and with more practice, the foot control will come naturally. Controlling speed isn’t difficult—the key is to practice more and get familiar with your car's condition.

When I first started learning Subject 2, I always had trouble controlling the speed—too fast and I'd hit the poles, too slow and the car wouldn't stop steadily. The uncoordinated clutch operation often caused stalling, which was super annoying. Later, I learned a trick: during S-turns or right-angle turns, lightly rest your right foot on the brake to control speed without stomping on it; when releasing the clutch with your left foot, lift and press slowly, practicing repeatedly. After each practice session, I noticed my speed control improved, and my pass rate for the exercises increased significantly. Don't be afraid to make mistakes—ask your instructor for tips and stick to practicing half an hour daily. Once you master speed control, the entire Subject 2 becomes much smoother.

When teaching my child to drive, I often remind them that speed control is fundamental. Simply put: for manual transmissions, gently release the clutch; for automatic transmissions, lightly press the accelerator—don’t drive too fast. In the Subject 2 test items, like hill parking, slower speeds ensure safety; for reverse parking, moving slowly allows better visibility of reference points. Stay calm, don’t rush to finish. Practice more, and you’ll naturally find the right balance. Steadiness is key.

Unsteady speed control is often caused by panic and flustered movements. I recommend taking deep breaths during the test and focusing on footwork—release the clutch slowly and keep your right foot ready on the brake. Maintain the half-engaged clutch state for manual transmissions, and gently press the accelerator for automatic transmissions. All items in Subject 2 require low-speed precision, such as parallel parking where slowing down allows for better angle adjustment. Practice more to develop muscle memory, and speed control will become natural.
