Is there anyone in the car during Subject 2 driving test?
2 Answers
No. Subject 2 driving test has now been fully converted to electronic assessment. There are no instructors or safety officers accompanying in the vehicle during the test. Only the examinee sits alone in the car, and there are no other personnel in the test area besides the examinee. The entire Subject 2 test is monitored by computer, with only the examinee in the vehicle and no examiner present. There is a surveillance camera positioned at the front right, and the test administrators from the vehicle management office observe the test through monitoring in the office. Additional information: 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: reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start, right-angle turn, and curve driving.
I just finished the second driving test, and it wasn’t strange at all that the examiner sat in the passenger seat the whole time to supervise. On the test day, I was super nervous, especially during the reverse parking when the examiner kept staring at me, afraid I’d cross the line. The test included items like reverse parking, hill start and stop, parallel parking, right-angle turns, and curve driving, with the examiner scoring each one. They mainly checked for driving standards and safety, such as stopping accurately on the hill and shifting gears smoothly. Candidates had to operate alone without the examiner’s intervention, who only recorded mistakes. It’s recommended to practice in the simulation area beforehand to familiarize yourself with the layout and vehicle control. During the test, take deep breaths, ignore the examiner, and focus on the details of your movements. If you practice well, passing will come naturally.
