There is no examiner present during the Subject 2 driving test. The entire test is monitored by a computer system, and the candidate is alone in the vehicle without an examiner. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It refers to the field driving skills test, which includes five mandatory test items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, making a 90-degree turn, and driving through curves. Subject 2 Test Content: Reversing into a garage: Evaluates the driver's ability to maneuver the vehicle in a confined space. It involves correctly reversing the vehicle into a garage from both sides while in motion. Parallel parking: This is an increasingly common scenario in urban areas, especially as parking spaces in formal parking lots become more limited. Many streets now have designated parallel parking spaces along their sides. Stopping and starting on a slope: This test can be performed with either an automatic or manual transmission vehicle. Automatic transmission vehicles are simpler to operate and less prone to stalling compared to manual ones. Making a 90-degree turn: This test evaluates the driver's ability to correctly steer and accurately judge the difference between the vehicle's inner and outer wheels when navigating sharp turns. Driving through curves: Commonly known as the S-curve, this test requires the vehicle to travel along an S-shaped path of a specified width without touching the edge lines, demonstrating smooth and controlled steering. Subject 2 Test Tips: Control your speed when reversing into a garage. Maintain proper distance and reference points during parallel parking. Adjust your vehicle slowly when driving through curves. Time your steering correctly when making a 90-degree turn.

When I took the Subject 2 driving test, the examiner was indeed present beside the test area. They don’t sit in your car taking up space but have a dedicated monitoring zone or small observation stand where they watch each candidate’s performance on a large screen. The examiner’s role is to score in real time and ensure safety, such as checking whether you cross lines or exceed time limits during reverse parking. The entire process is assisted by fully automated equipment, but having the examiner nearby adds an extra layer of security to prevent cheating or accidents. After the test, I realized that examiner supervision makes the exam fairer. In some places, examiners might use walkie-talkies to give instructions, but that only made me more nervous. My advice to learners is not to get distracted—just focus on driving. The examiner being there actually helps reduce the risk of mistakes. Practice a few more times to get familiar with the test environment, and the examiner won’t seem so intimidating.

What is the tire model for the 8th generation Accord?

The tire models for the 8th generation Accord are 215/50r16 and 225/50r17. Tire replacement time: It is recommended to replace tires every four years, even if the mileage driven within four years is relatively low. Tires are rubber products, and rubber products will age over time with prolonged use. Tire selection: When purchasing tires, be sure to check the specifications and model clearly, as well as the production date, speed rating, and load index. Generally, the sidewalls of tires for family cars or SUVs will indicate 91v. After reinstalling tires, it is essential to perform dynamic balancing to prevent abnormal vibrations when driving at high speeds.

Is the Civic equipped with independent suspension?

The Civic features an independent suspension system, with a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear. Independent suspension refers to a system where there is no connection between the wheels on either side. It serves as both a force-transmitting component connecting the frame to the axle and a crucial safety element for vehicle operation. The Civic is a compact car produced by Dongfeng Honda, with dimensions of 4649mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1416mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm.

What is the Auto Start-Stop Function?

Auto start-stop function is a system that automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (such as waiting at a red light) and restarts the engine when it's time to move forward again. It achieves this by equipping a traditional engine with an enhanced motor that has idle start-stop capability, allowing the engine to completely shut off when the conditions for idle stopping are met. The working principle of the start-stop system is as follows: when the vehicle stops due to traffic congestion or at an intersection, and the driver presses the brake pedal and shifts to neutral, the Start-Stop system automatically checks three conditions: the engine is idling and in neutral, the wheel speed sensors of the anti-lock system show zero rotation, and the electronic battery sensor indicates sufficient energy for the next start. Once these three conditions are satisfied, the engine automatically stops running.

Does the Skoda Fabia have a 1.4t engine?

Skoda Fabia does not have a 1.4t engine. The Fabia is equipped with two types of engines: one is a 1.4-liter naturally aspirated engine, and the other is a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine. An engine is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc. The Skoda Fabia is a compact car with a very small and cute appearance. The new Skoda Fabia breaks the traditional design language of Skoda, based on the design language of the new concept car VisionC. While retaining the classic hardcore style in its design, it also adopts a new Bohemian crystal cutting design concept, using lines and folds to create a smooth side effect.
