Is the Accelerator Pedal Not Used in Subject Two?
1 Answers
Subject Two examination does not require the use of the accelerator pedal. Subject Two is a closed-course driving test where the entire test can be completed in first gear without needing to press the accelerator. During the Subject Two test, examinees have limited driving skills and lack adaptability in operating within the restricted course. Excessive speed can easily lead to crossing lines or even collisions. To facilitate novice drivers in controlling the vehicle speed, the test vehicle's idle speed is set relatively higher. Engaging first gear or reverse gear without applying throttle is sufficient to complete all test items. In many places, to prevent examinees from mistakenly pressing the accelerator, the accelerator pedal is temporarily sealed or even removed. Additional Information: The principle of "Steady, Accurate, and Firm" in clutch control: Firm: When depressing the clutch pedal, press it firmly all the way down to engage the gear. Accurate: Learn to accurately find the semi-engagement point by sensing the "body vibration." Steady: Lift the clutch pedal slowly and steadily without rushing. More practice with the clutch is essential for examinees to gain confidence and truly familiarize themselves with clutch operation. The "Golden Three Principles" of reference points: Learning to correctly identify reference points is crucial in Subject Two. Whether it's reverse parking, parallel parking, curve driving, right-angle turns, or hill starts, each requires concentrated attention on reference points. Typically, instructors teach how to identify reference points during initial training sessions. However, it is important for learners to independently find suitable reference points for observation.
