Is There a Time Limit for the Subject 2 Driving Test?

The entire Subject 2 driving test does not have an overall time limit, but certain individual tasks have specified completion times. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, has a perfect score of 100 points, and each test attempt allows two chances. There are evaluation criteria set for failing, deducting 10 points, or deducting 5 points. For reversing into a parking space, the completion time must not exceed 210 seconds (starting from when reverse gear is engaged); For parallel parking, the completion time must not exceed 90 seconds; For stopping and starting on a slope, after stopping, the vehicle must start moving uphill within 30 seconds. For tasks with specified time limits like those mentioned above, they must be completed within the allotted time; otherwise, the test will be considered a failure. For most regions where only five tasks are tested, the Subject 2 test generally takes about 10 minutes from start to finish. For regions where nine tasks are tested, the Subject 2 test will take relatively longer. The test tasks include: Reversing into a parking space: reversing into the garage from the right starting point, then driving to the left to reverse into the garage, and finally returning to the starting point. No stopping is allowed during the reversing process. Parallel parking: driving the vehicle to a position parallel to the garage's forward direction, then reversing into the garage without any pauses. Turning at a right angle: no crossing the lines is allowed, and it must be completed in one go without stopping. Stopping and starting on a slope: the examinee must drive the vehicle to the slope test point, with the front wheels stopping exactly on the line. After passing this part, the examinee must start moving uphill without rolling backward. Any mistake will result in point deductions or failure. Driving through curves: this involves navigating a lane with two turns greater than 40 degrees in one go without stopping, crossing lines, or going out of bounds. The perfect score is 100 points, with evaluation criteria for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, or deducting 5 points. A score of 80 or above is required to pass. Newly added test tasks include simulated tunnel driving, simulated highway toll card collection, narrow road U-turns, and passing through a width-restricted gate. Important notes for taking the Subject 2 test: Drive slowly: maintaining a slow speed is essential when learning and practicing Subject 2. It can be considered a fundamental rule. Only by ensuring the car does not stop can you keep the speed as slow as possible, which allows ample time to adjust each step. Adjust the mirrors: after getting into the car, adjust the rearview mirrors properly, as they play a crucial role in parallel parking and reversing into a parking space. Mastering the three-point alignment method is important. During practice, correctly identify reference points on the car and the ground, and observe everything carefully to achieve better results. Maintain a good mindset during the test, wear comfortable clothing, and avoid excessive nervousness. Familiarize yourself with each step of the test, such as adjusting the seat after entering the car and fastening the seatbelt only after ensuring everything is correct before starting the test. Keep the speed uniform during the test, avoid crossing lines within the test tasks, accurately identify reference points, and perform each task carefully. After passing the test, drive the car back to the starting position and confirm your signature before turning off the engine.
