Is it suitable to take the Subject 2 driving test on a rainy day?

[DelBriella]

It is not suitable to take the Subject 2 driving test on a rainy day. Below are relevant details about the Subject 2 test: Subject 2 penalty details: Not wearing a seatbelt deducts 100 points, starting the car without the gear in neutral deducts 100 points, not using the turn signal or using it incorrectly deducts 10 points, stalling the car once deducts 10 points, driving over the edge line deducts 100 points, stopping for more than two seconds during the test deducts 5 points, not following the designated route or sequence deducts 100 points, failing to park the car in the designated spot during reverse parking deducts 100 points, and the car body crossing the line deducts 100 points. Subject 2 test precautions: Before starting, clean the side mirrors and window frames outside the car. Adjust the side mirrors and seat inside the car and secure them. Always remember to fasten the seatbelt. During the reverse parking test, it is best to choose the parking spot at the very back. You can stop and wait before entering the parking spot. Once inside, there will be a broadcast saying "Reverse parking test begins."

As an experienced driver, I think taking the driving test (Subject 2) on rainy days is not ideal. The road surface is wet, and tires are prone to skidding. For maneuvers like starting on a slope, it's easy to roll back or stall with just a little carelessness, significantly increasing the risk. Visibility is also blurred by the rain; without timely use of the wipers, it's hard to see reference points during reverse parking or parallel parking, leading to a higher error rate. I advise learners to contact the driving school in advance to clarify the test center's policy—some places may postpone the test if the rain is too heavy. If rescheduling isn't possible, be extra focused while driving, reduce speed, start and turn slowly, and remember that braking distance increases under slippery conditions. Bring rain gear to avoid getting wet before getting out of the car, ensuring safety comes first.

Last year when I took the driving test (Subject 2), it was pouring rain and I felt extremely nervous. During the hill start, because the road was slippery, I pressed the accelerator a bit too hard, causing the wheels to spin and nearly lose control. Fortunately, I immediately released the accelerator and adjusted. The examiner was watching, and perhaps considering the weather conditions, wasn't too harsh. Throughout the test, I was extra cautious—for example, leaving more space when reversing into the parking space to avoid scratches and keeping the speed very slow. Taking the test in the rain really tests your nerves. It's helpful to practice more on wet road simulations during preparation, take deep breaths before starting to stay calm, and accumulate more experience to better handle unexpected situations.

Driving skills need to be adjusted on rainy days, especially for projects like Subject 2. For example, when starting on a slope, gently press the accelerator to avoid wheel spin caused by excessive throttle; when reversing or turning, reduce the speed by half due to weaker tire grip. The wipers must be used properly to clear rainwater from the windshield and ensure clear visibility. If it rains during the test, check if the vehicle's wipers are functioning well and pay attention to turning on the lights to help identify boundaries. Overall, take your time to do a careful job and avoid rushing for quick results.
