Is there a safety officer present during Subject 2 test?

Subject 2 test generally does not have an on-board safety officer. Here is the relevant introduction: 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 for the field driving skills test subject. The test items for small cars C1 and C2 include five mandatory tests: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turning, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curve) (some regions have a sixth item: high-speed card collection). Teaching objectives: Master the basic driving operation essentials and possess the basic ability to control the vehicle. Proficiently master the basic methods of field and in-field road driving, possess the ability to reasonably use vehicle control components and correctly control the spatial position of the vehicle movement, and be able to accurately control the vehicle's driving position, speed, and route.
I remember when I took the Subject 2 driving test, there was indeed a safety officer sitting in the passenger seat, supervising the entire process. I was very nervous because it was my first time performing maneuvers like reverse parking and hill starts on my own, but having the safety officer beside me actually made me feel more at ease. Their main role was to ensure safety during the exam and prevent accidents. They observed every move I made, such as turn signal usage and parking position, and recorded my performance. During practice, my instructor often said that the safety officer is also part of the test—they not only assess skills but also intervene in emergencies. I recommend familiarizing yourself with the test route beforehand, staying relaxed, and focusing on your own performance without worrying about the safety officer's presence. After the test, chatting with friends revealed similar experiences—safety officers may seem stern, but they ultimately have the examinees' best interests at heart. In short, thorough preparation is key; don't let nervousness affect your performance.
