Is there a time limit for the S-curve in Subject 2?

There is no time limit for the S-curve in Subject 2. As long as you maintain a normal speed during the curve driving and avoid stopping midway, there's no need to worry about the time. The key is to master the driving techniques. Here is an extended introduction: Precautions: In curve driving, the size of the wheel difference is related to the steering angle of the car and the length of the wheelbase. The larger the steering angle or the longer the wheelbase, the greater the difference between the inner and outer wheels. For small cars, the inner wheel difference is about 0.8-0.9 meters, and the outer wheel difference is about 0.7 meters. The size of the inner wheel difference depends on the steering angle and the length of the wheelbase. The larger the steering angle, the greater the inner wheel difference, and vice versa; the longer the wheelbase, the greater the inner wheel difference, and vice versa.
When taking the S-curve in Subject 2 of the driving test, I was initially worried about the time limit. In fact, the entire Subject 2 test has an overall time requirement, usually 15 to 20 minutes, covering all sections like reverse parking and the S-curve. The S-curve itself doesn't have a separate countdown or time limit, but if you drive too slowly, the instructor will remind you to control the pace. The key is not to stop in the middle of the curve; you must keep the vehicle moving smoothly through it. I took the test twice and found that the key is to practice more to get a feel for the speed—going too fast may cause you to cross the line, while going too slow might affect the time allocation for other sections. Remember, the psychological pressure in the test center is high, so don't let time become a burden. With enough practice, you'll naturally adapt to the test rhythm. The total duration is crucial; as long as you complete all actions within the allotted time, the S-curve won't be penalized separately for time.
