Should I Signal When Going Uphill in Subject 2?
2 Answers
Subject 2 uphill requires signaling. Below are specific details about Subject 2: Subject 2 Exam Attempts: The Subject 2 exam allows one attempt, with a retake if failed, totaling two opportunities. If the retake is not taken or still results in failure, the exam session ends, and the applicant must reschedule after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of Subject 2 exam appointments must not exceed five. Subject 2 Exam Content: Reverse parking, hill start and stop, parallel parking, curve driving, and right-angle turns (Note: Some regions include a sixth item—highway toll card collection).
As a driving instructor, I've helped students pass the Category 2 test hundreds of times. For the uphill start section, the exam requirement is absolutely no need to use the turn signal! Using it might actually lead to point deduction. The key is to find the half-clutch point accurately, align the steering wheel with the ground arrow, and control the side margin and stopping point well. Remember the sequence: press the clutch and brake firmly—slowly release the clutch until the car body shakes—release the brake—lightly press the accelerator—successfully start. Turn signals are mandatory only when exiting parallel parking, making a sharp turn, and starting the car. Develop good habits during practice, and never add unnecessary actions like randomly using turn signals.
