Is an ID card required for the Subject 2 mock test?

An ID card is required for the Subject 2 mock test. Here is some relevant information about Subject 2: Exam Appointment: In April 2016, the "Decision on Amendments" was officially implemented, allowing self-study and self-testing for small cars. Subject 2 and Subject 3 can be scheduled simultaneously and taken consecutively. Exam Tips: Key Points for Right-Angle Turn Operation: Start the car in low gear; before entering the right-angle turn, drive close to the right side, keeping the right wheels about 0.1 meters away from the right edge of the road. When the driver aligns with the inner right-angle point, quickly turn the steering wheel to the left to the limit position; when the left rear wheel passes the inner right-angle point, gradually steer right to exit the road.

When I was practicing driving, my coach repeatedly emphasized that you must bring your ID card to the simulated training ground for Subject 2. Because the simulated training is actually an important part before the exam, the driving school needs to verify your identity information to prevent someone else from practicing for you. Moreover, you need to swipe your ID card during the simulation to record the training time—without it, you simply can't enter the training area. Once, I forgot to bring mine and was sweating with anxiety. In the end, I had to take a taxi home to get it, which took two hours and almost caused me to miss that day's training. My suggestion is to put your ID card in your bag the night before, along with your phone and keys, so it's less likely to be forgotten. By the way, it’s best to carry it during regular training sessions too, as the coach might arrange a simulation on short notice—better safe than sorry.

I remember my cousin went for his Subject 2 driving test simulation last week and proudly showed off his ID card in the family group chat before leaving. That day, he waited at the driving school for three hours because the two people ahead of him didn't bring their ID cards, and the system couldn't verify their identities, so everyone was stuck and couldn't proceed. Bringing your ID isn't just a rule—it's crucial for the entire training process. If you really forget it, don't panic. Many driving schools now accept electronic IDs, so you can apply for one in advance on Alipay as a backup. Still, a physical ID is the safest bet since training grounds might have unstable signals. Oh, and wearing a pair of comfortable flat shoes to the simulation is ten times more useful than worrying about your ID.

Bring it! This is a hard rule. Last year when I volunteered at the driving school, I saw many students stuck at the entrance of the simulation area because they didn't bring their ID cards. The instructor was hopping mad—the system only recognizes ID card swipes for registration, and without the card, you can't even touch the steering wheel. The unluckiest was Xiao Wang, who booked a prime time slot but ended up making a wasted trip. Nowadays, driving schools are all electronically managed, and your ID card is your pass. If you're afraid of losing it, use a cardholder and don't stuff it with loose change to avoid bending. By the way, a reminder: don't drink too much water before the simulation—having to leave for the bathroom and queue up again is a real time-waster.
