Is stopping allowed during the Subject 2 driving test?
2 Answers
Stopping is not allowed during the Subject 2 driving test, as the grading criteria consider any mid-test stopping as a failure. Below are precautions for the Subject 2 test: Entering the waiting hall: After entering the waiting hall, candidates must observe the examination room discipline, refrain from making noise or moving around arbitrarily. If they need to leave temporarily during the waiting period, they must apply to the staff for exit registration. After getting in the car: Quickly adjust the seat and rearview mirror, fasten the seat belt, and after all preparations are complete, verify fingerprints and enter the corresponding test lane according to voice prompts. During the test: Each test item in the examination room is monitored by GPS positioning. The control line (yellow dotted line) of each item represents the test area of that item. Once the vehicle's front crosses the control line, it means entering the test for that item, and the test must be completed according to the rules of that item.
I just passed my driving test last year. For the reverse parking and parallel parking tasks in Subject 2, any pause is not allowed. The instructor strictly required maintaining slow and smooth movement throughout the entire process. If you stop for more than two seconds midway, the system will detect it and directly deduct points or even result in a fail. This is mainly because in actual driving, unexpected pauses increase the risk of collisions, such as causing loss of vehicle control when operating in tight parking spaces. During practice, I often used the clutch to control the speed to develop a feel for it. Before the test, I also simulated various scenarios to ensure smooth and uninterrupted movements. Remember, each operation has a time limit, and pauses not only affect your score but may also lead the examiner to question driving safety. So, practicing a few more times with friends before the test is very helpful.
