Is Subject 2 Too Difficult or Am I Just Stupid?
2 Answers
No, Subject 2 is generally challenging. The difficult aspects of the driving license Subject 2 test include: Reversing into a parking space: This is widely considered the hardest part of the Subject 2 test, with the main challenge being timing the steering correctly. Hill start and stopping on a slope: Rolling back or stalling during the start is a common issue on slopes. If the car shows signs of rolling back while releasing the brake, immediately press the brake and clutch firmly to stabilize the vehicle, then restart using the same method. Right-angle turn: There are several methods to navigate a right-angle turn, the simplest being to turn the steering wheel quickly when the hood covers the opposite yellow line.
Honestly, I've seen too many people break down during driving practice. Cursing themselves for being stupid when hitting the line during parallel parking, slamming car doors when steering too late in reverse parking—it's all too common. You need to understand that driving school training cars are completely different from exam vehicles, even the rearview mirror angles vary. It's extremely common to fail Subject 2 three or four times—just last year, our local test center statistics showed a 40% failure rate on the hill start alone. This has nothing to do with being smart or not; it's purely a matter of practice making perfect. My advice? Don't just stare blankly at the lines in the mirror. Ask your instructor to help you identify that hidden reference point on the door handle—these little tricks work far better than rote memorization.
