Shanghai Driver's License Subject 2 Test Content

[AnthonyLee]

For small vehicles C1 and C2, the test items include reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope (canceled for C2), right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-turns). Some regions also include a sixth item: high-speed toll card collection. The full score for Subject 2 is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failure, deductions of 20 points, 10 points, and 5 points. A total test score of 80 points or above is required to pass. Candidates are allowed one attempt for the Subject 2 test. If they fail, they can retake it once. If they do not take the retest or fail the retest, the current test session is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of scheduled attempts for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skill tests cannot exceed five. If the fifth scheduled test is still failed, the results of other previously passed subjects will be invalidated.

I just passed the Subject 2 test in Shanghai, experiencing the entire assessment process firsthand. The exam is conducted in a closed test site and includes five core operations: reversing into a garage tests precise control on both left and right sides, requiring the car to stop within the yellow marked lines; parallel parking must be completed within 30 seconds, with the rear wheels not allowed to touch the solid roadside line; stopping and starting on a slope particularly tests semi-clutch control, with the front bumper needing to align with the marked line; turning at a right angle requires driving close to the right side in advance and then quickly turning the steering wheel fully to the left; S-curve driving focuses on adjusting the position using the rearview mirrors. Throughout the test, stalling or touching any solid lines is not allowed, and each task is timed independently. A safety officer will explain the route at the starting point. It's best to rent the test site for practice to get familiar with the layout before the exam, and be sure to adjust the seat and rearview mirror angles before starting.
