Is it a big deal if the car door is not closed after the Subject 2 test?

It is not a big deal if the car door is not closed after the Subject 2 test, as long as the voice announcement says "test passed," which means the test has ended. All standards are based on the voice announcement. However, remember to pull the handbrake and shift to neutral. If the car rolls away after getting out and causes an accident, compensation may be required, and it could also be deemed as a test failure. Relevant details are as follows: Test scheduling: Small cars can be self-taught for direct testing; Subject 2 and Subject 3 can be scheduled and taken consecutively. Deduction codes and items: 10101 Not using seat belts or wearing safety helmets as required, 10102 Blocking or turning off in-car audio and video monitoring devices, 10103 Not following the examiner's instructions while driving.
Forgetting to close the car door after passing the Subject 2 driving test is indeed quite serious. Looking back, my driving instructor repeatedly emphasized safety first during my lessons—the end of the test is just the beginning. However, leaving the door open after parking could lead to accidents. For instance, strong winds might suddenly slam the door shut, potentially injuring someone or damaging the vehicle. Even in parking lots, an unclosed door could be accidentally bumped, causing scratches. While failing to close the door during the test is a point deduction, neglecting it afterward doesn’t directly affect your score but fosters a bad habit. Such oversight could lead to accidents when driving on the road. I’ve seen new drivers face major issues due to these small oversights, so developing the habit of closing the door properly—whether during or after the test—is crucial. Securing the door protects both yourself and others, taking little time but saving a lot of trouble.
As a novice who just got my driver's license, I think forgetting to close the door after Subject 2 should not be overlooked. During the exam, the inspector checking if the car door is closed is a mandatory item. If it's not closed, you could lose points or even fail. After the exam, it's not a huge problem, but with other trainees or vehicles moving in the area, an open door increases the risk of collision. I personally experienced a minor accident where the car slid because the door wasn't closed, but fortunately, it was noticed in time. The instructor taught that exams cultivate good habits, which extend to daily driving as matters of life and safety. Every time you park and get out of the car, you should instinctively look back to check if the door is closed. This is not just about order but also reduces trouble.
