Should Turn Signals Be Used When Exiting the Garage in Subject 2?
1 Answers
When performing reverse parking or exiting the garage in Subject 2 of the driving test, turn signals are not required. There are a total of 6 instances in Subject 2 where turn signals must be used, which are: 1. Turn on the left turn signal when starting the vehicle; 2. Turn on the left turn signal when starting on a slope; 3. Use the right turn signal when passing the parallel parking spot and preparing to park within 30 cm of the side line before reversing; 4. Turn on the left turn signal before shifting into reverse gear during parallel parking, as the steering wheel will be turned fully to the right, causing the front of the car to shift left during reversing; 5. Shift into drive gear and turn on the left turn signal before exiting the parallel parking spot, and turn it off promptly after exiting; 6. Turn on the left turn signal when entering the sharp turn area and turn it off promptly after completing the turn. Penalties for incorrect use of turn signals are as follows: - Failing to use or incorrectly using turn signals before starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking results in a deduction of 10 points. - Turning the steering wheel within less than 3 seconds of activating the turn signal before starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking results in a deduction of 10 points. Subject 2 has a total score of 100 points, with evaluation criteria for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, or deducting 5 points. The test is considered passed under the following conditions: ① For large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium passenger vehicles, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required; ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required. The test items for small vehicles (C1, C2) include reverse parking, parallel parking, slope parking and starting (canceled for C2), sharp turns, and S-curves (commonly known as the "S-bend")—five mandatory items (some regions include a sixth item: highway toll card collection). The test items for large vehicles (A1, A2, A3, B1, B2) include pole parking, slope parking and starting, parallel parking, single-plank bridge crossing, S-curves, sharp turns, narrow gate passing, continuous obstacle passing, bumpy road driving, narrow road U-turns, as well as simulated highway driving, continuous sharp mountain turns, tunnels, rain (fog) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling.
