Should You Swipe Your ID Card or Start the Engine First in Subject Two?
2 Answers
In Subject Two, you should swipe your ID card first before starting the engine. If the staff turns off the car during the test, the candidate needs to start the engine themselves; otherwise, the candidate can directly start the car by adjusting the seat and mirrors, fastening the seat belt, and following the above steps. Preparation before getting into the car for Subject Two: Walk around the vehicle to check if the lights are off and if there are any abnormalities with the tires; Enter the car, adjust the seat and mirrors, and fasten the seat belt; After preparation, swipe your ID card and input your fingerprint as required; Then wait for the test to begin. Correct method to start the car in Subject Two: Check if the gear lever is in neutral; Start the engine, press the clutch with your left foot, shift into first gear, and press the brake with your right foot simultaneously; Turn on the left turn signal, honk the horn, and release the handbrake; Slowly lift the clutch with your left foot until you feel the car start to vibrate, then stop lifting; Gradually release the foot brake, and once the car starts moving forward, you can completely release it; At this point, keep your left foot at the semi-engaged position, and the Subject Two start is successful.
Last time I worked as a guide at the test site, I saw too many candidates make mistakes. For Subject 2, never rush to start the engine immediately upon getting in the car. According to our exam procedures, you must first adjust the seat and mirrors, fasten the seatbelt, then use your left index finger to press the ID card against the blue light area of the card reader until you hear a beep. Only then does the exam timing officially begin. Starting the engine after this sequence is the safe approach - doing it backwards means the system won't recognize your verification, causing you to waste an attempt by driving for nothing. The entire process must be completed within 30 seconds, so I recommend practicing with the card reader position beforehand, especially since sweaty fingerprints can affect recognition rates.
