The Correct Adjustment Method for the Seat in Subject 2

[SanSarah]

After getting into the car, first hold the steering wheel at the 9 o'clock position with your left hand, pull the seat adjustment lever with your right hand, and push your hips forward forcefully to adjust to a suitable position. Adjust according to your height to ensure there is a fist's distance between your head and the car roof. Here is more information about Subject 2: 1. Precautions: Do not drive with unqualified shoes and pay attention to your diet. 2. Brief Description: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the field driving skills test. The test items for small cars C1 and C2 include five mandatory tests: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving on a curve (commonly known as the S-curve). Some regions also have a sixth item: high-speed toll card collection.

As an ordinary driver's license holder who has passed the test, I suffered from improperly adjusted seats while preparing for Subject 2. The key is to find a comfortable yet controlled position: First, adjust the seat forward/backward so your legs are slightly bent when depressing the clutch—neither fully extended (which prevents full pedal travel) nor overly bent (to avoid knee pain). Set the height so you can just see the front edge of the hood for optimal visibility during reverse parking. Keep the backrest moderately upright, allowing your wrists to rest naturally on the steering wheel top with relaxed shoulders. Incorrect seat height often causes misjudgment in reverse parking reference points. Practice adjustments repeatedly before the test—developing this habit prevents fatigue in daily driving too. Proper seat positioning not only ensures test success but also prevents backaches. Initially failing parallel parking due to poor visibility from wrong seat settings, I passed only after correcting this.

My experience as a driving instructor tells me that seat adjustment is fundamental for the Subject 2 test. The primary goal is safety and comfort: start with the front and back positions, ensuring your legs can fully depress the brake without being stretched straight, with about a fist's distance remaining at the knees. Adjust the height so you can see the middle of the windshield at eye level, avoiding tilting your head up or down to prevent impaired judgment. The backrest should be tilted to a degree that allows your arms to naturally bend while holding the steering wheel, avoiding excessive tilt that could lead to loss of control. This setup reduces delayed reactions during sharp turns and provides more accurate perspectives when reversing into parking spaces. In reality, many trainees fail because their seats are too far back, making reference points invisible. Taking a few minutes to check before practice builds good habits and also helps prevent long-term driving fatigue.

As a seasoned driver with years of experience, I find seat adjustment extremely important. When preparing for Subject 2 of the driving test, first adjust the height to clearly see the front end of the car. Then, move the seat forward or backward so your legs can comfortably reach the pedals. Don't recline the backrest too much; just ensure you can easily turn the steering wheel. This setup helps prevent fatigue during daily driving and exams, and improves accuracy in reversing. Poor adjustment can easily lead to mistakes and point deductions in the test.
