Is there a safety officer next to the subject 2 test?

Subject 2 test generally does not have an on-board safety officer. Here is more related introduction: Introduction to Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation of the field driving skill test subject. The test items for small cars C1 and C2 include five compulsory tests: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving on a curve (commonly known as the S-curve) (some areas also have a sixth item of high-speed card collection). Teaching objectives: Master the basic methods of driving on the field and on the road, have the ability to reasonably use vehicle control components and correctly control the spatial position of the vehicle, and be able to accurately control the driving position, speed and route of the vehicle.
During the Subject 2 driving test, there are indeed safety-related personnel supervising on site. I remember when I was taking my driver's license test, while performing the reverse parking maneuver on the driving school grounds, the examiner sat in the passenger seat watching me closely, holding a scoring sheet to record details. Although Subject 2 doesn't have a dedicated safety officer sitting in the car ready to intervene like in the road test, the examiner's role is to ensure the safety and reliability of the testing process, preventing accidents caused by student errors. For example, during the hill start project, they observe the use of brakes and handbrakes from the side—if the car starts rolling back, the examiner can promptly call a stop. This setup is actually quite good: it gives examinees space to operate independently, fostering genuine driving skills, while also avoiding major risks. After all, even though the test area is small, the risks aren't low, and having professional supervision adds an extra layer of reassurance. Looking back, I didn't make mistakes partly thanks to the examiner's reminders. This design reflects a focus on personal safety and is a thoughtful arrangement by the vehicle administration department.
