Should You Wait for the Car in Front During the Start of the Subject 2 Driving Test?

During the start of the Subject 2 driving test, you should wait if there is a car in front of you; otherwise, it may lead to both the examinee in your car and the one in the front car failing the test simultaneously. Below is an introduction to the Subject 2 driving test: 1. Scoring Criteria: The full score is 100 points, with evaluation standards set for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. 2. Regarding Retakes: If you fail the Subject 2 test on the first attempt, you are allowed one retake. If you do not take the retake or fail the retake, the test will be terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skills test permit, the number of scheduled tests for Subject 2 and Subject 3 (road driving skills test) must not exceed five. If you fail the fifth scheduled test, the results of other subjects that you have already passed will be invalidated.
I remember when taking the Subject 2 driving test, it was common to encounter scenarios with multiple cars simultaneously testing in the same area. If there was a car ahead still performing parallel parking or reversing maneuvers, you absolutely couldn't rush to start. You had to patiently wait until that vehicle completed its operation and moved away before beginning. The examiner would closely monitor your actions, and reckless behaviors like not waiting or honking to hurry others could result in immediate safety point deductions or even a failed test. Once, I saw a new candidate who was too impatient and forced a start, nearly causing a collision, which led to an immediate halt of their exam. The test area is compact with limited space and challenging control, making the habit of waiting crucial. During regular practice, it's essential to simulate such situations, ensuring you check the rearview mirror and confirm no obstructions before moving. This practice isn't just useful for the test but also helps avoid rear-end collisions in real driving. In short, the core of safe driving lies in caution and composure—waiting is an indispensable skill.
