Is the Parking and Card Retrieval Test Part of Subject 2 or Subject 3?
2 Answers
Parking and card retrieval is part of Subject 2. Below is a detailed introduction to the precautions for parking and card retrieval: 1. Avoid crossing the line: When entering the parking and card retrieval section, in addition to looking at the front of the car and aligning the body, you should also pay attention to the rearview mirror to prevent the rear wheels from crossing the line. 2. Find the correct position: During the test, control the speed, find the correct parking position, and stop in time. Otherwise, missing the correct position will make it impossible to retrieve (or swipe) the card, or reversing to adjust the position will result in failing the test. 3. Control the distance: Similar to parallel parking, the parking position for card retrieval must be well-controlled—you cannot cross the line, but you also cannot be too far away. Exceeding 500mm will result in a deduction of 100 points.
I remember just passing my driver's license test last month. There was indeed a parking card retrieval segment in the third subject test, specifically during the roadside parking section where the examiner would simulate taking a card at a toll booth. The key is to maintain steady speed control—avoid stalling or crossing lines. On my first attempt, I got so nervous that my car's front end veered off, costing me points. Honestly, the crucial factors are practicing spatial awareness and keeping calm, as this is an essential daily driving skill. Don't underestimate it—always check mirrors in advance for safety. Mastering this actually helps with other road test components too. Now that I drive regularly, I've gotten quite comfortable with this maneuver—it's second nature.
