Subject 2 S-curve driving tips?
3 Answers
Here are the tips for the S-curve in Subject 2: 1. S-curve tip one: When you hear the prompt 'Entering S-curve', shift to first gear, slowly release the clutch to reach semi-engaged state, maintaining slow and steady speed to enter the curve. 2. S-curve tip two: When the left corner of the car hood aligns with the right roadside arc, turn the steering wheel one and a half turns left and proceed. When the left reference line of the hood aligns with the white circle on the ground, turn the steering wheel one and a half turns back to center and proceed. Finally, when the car hood aligns with the white horizontal line on the ground, turn the steering wheel one and a half turns left to exit the curve and complete the test. 3. S-curve tip three: Use the side mirrors to monitor the left and right lines, keeping the vehicle centered. Follow the diagonal lines - during right turns, align the left corner with the right line; during left turns, align the right corner with the left line, letting the car corners follow the lines.
When I was taking the driving test for Subject 2, I was most afraid of the S-curve. Later, my instructor taught me a foolproof method: maintain a snail-like speed throughout—the slower, the safer. Keep your left foot steady on the clutch and your right foot lightly on the brake, ready at all times. Before entering the curve, turn the steering wheel slowly and fix your eyes on the relationship between the corner of the windshield and the line—for a left curve, keep the right corner of the car's front aligned with the right line, and vice versa for a right curve. Never forget to check the rearview mirrors and make slight adjustments as needed. Remember the mantra: 'Steer toward where it’s wider,' but only adjust half a turn at a time. Don’t rush to accelerate when exiting the curve—wait until the entire car is clear. The key is to practice until the movements become muscle memory, as natural as brushing your teeth.
As someone who passed the S-curve test on the third attempt, my hard-earned lessons boil down to three key points: Adjust the seat to sit upright with elbows slightly bent to comfortably grip the steering wheel. Take a deep breath before entering the curve—otherwise, you'll end up driving like a zombie while holding your breath. Set the rearview mirror angle to clearly see the distance between the rear wheel and the boundary line, then mentally count "1-2-3-4" as your rhythm—four beats for each left/right turn when steering. The most frustrating part was the hood blocking my view, so I later stuck a yellow sticker on it as a reference point. When exiting the curve, subtly return the steering wheel halfway first before fully straightening it to prevent rear wheels from crossing the line. Recording practice sessions for review is the most effective—watching it ten times beats mindless practice ten times over.
