Should I swipe my ID card or fasten the seat belt first for the Subject 2 driving test?

First, swipe your ID card for facial recognition, adjust the seat, and then fasten the seat belt to begin the test. Here are some precautions for the Subject 2 driving test: 1. Before the test: Bring your original ID card, avoid wearing slippers, high heels, or colored sunglasses. 2. While waiting for the test: Carefully recall the operational details of the test items, visualize the technical process in your mind, and ignore others' discussions to avoid disturbing your mood. 3. After getting in the car: Fasten the seat belt, adjust the seat and rearview mirrors, and set up the test car to the configuration you're most familiar with.

I remember struggling with this sequence when I took my driver's license test too. Generally speaking, fastening the seatbelt first after getting in the car is mandatory because safety always comes first - otherwise, it could be troublesome if an accident occurs when starting the vehicle. Swiping the ID card is part of activating the exam system, usually done after completing preparations. For instance, after sitting down, adjust the seat and mirrors, buckle up securely, and only swipe your ID when everything is properly set. This helps avoid distractions that might lead to exam mistakes. In practice, exam systems might vary slightly across regions, but most driving instructors emphasize securing personal safety before proceeding with technical procedures. I've witnessed people rushing to swipe their cards but forgetting to buckle up, resulting in point deductions and immediate test failure. That's why developing good habits is crucial - safety first, then operation - to build confidence during the exam.
