2 Answers
Subject 2 driving test does not require arrival by 8 AM. The test schedule for Subject 2 runs from 8 AM to 7 PM on weekdays (Monday to Friday), with a break period from 12 PM to 2:30 PM. No tests are conducted on weekends. Here are relevant details: Subject 2: Also known as the small road test, it is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment, specifically the field driving skills examination. Test items: For C1 license, the test includes five mandatory items - reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start and stop, right-angle turn, and curve driving (commonly called S-turn). Some regions may include a sixth item - highway toll card collection. For C2 license, the test comprises four mandatory items - reverse parking, parallel parking, right-angle turn, and curve driving.
I remember when taking the Subject 2 test, I usually had to arrive at the test site before 8 a.m. because most exams start in the morning. The examiners would call roll and check attendance on time in order. If you were late, you might have to wait much longer or even get disqualified. I’ve heard of someone who was just five minutes late and wasted their chance, having to reschedule, which cost both time and extra money. Arriving early allows you to familiarize yourself with the environment more calmly, check your ID and driving school notice while queuing, and gives you buffer time in case of unexpected situations. It’s advisable to set an alarm the night before, check the route and traffic conditions to avoid peak-hour congestion. Bringing some water and snacks is also quite necessary, as the waiting time for the test can be long, and staying in good condition ensures better performance. In short, punctuality is key to a smooth test process—never take chances or procrastinate.
