What are the 2021 Subject 2 Penalty Standards?
2 Answers
2021 Subject 2 Penalty Standards are as follows: Not wearing a seatbelt: Deduct 100 points. Not closing the car door: Deduct 100 points. Not turning on the turn signal: Failure to use the turn signal or using it for less than 3 seconds when starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking will result in a deduction of 10 points (using the turn signal for less than 3 seconds is often a common reason for point deductions). Not turning on the right turn signal when reversing: Deduct 10 points (an additional penalty item; previously, only the left turn signal was required when parking, and this is also the item most likely to cause point deductions). Failure to stop at the designated point: Deduct 100 points. After the vehicle stops, the front bumper does not reach the control line: Deduct 100 points. When the vehicle runs over the curb during driving: Deduct 100 points. Starting time exceeds 30 seconds: Deduct 100 points. Stopping midway: Deduct 100 points.
I took the Subject 2 test last year, and the 2021 scoring criteria left a deep impression on me. During parallel parking, touching the boundary line deducts 10 points, and parking too far from the curb also deducts 10 points. For reversing into the garage, crossing the line results in an immediate 100-point deduction, making it very strict. On the slope fixed-point parking, a deviation exceeding 30 cm deducts 10 points, and stalling once deducts 10 points—you need to keep the clutch control steady. Failing to turn the wheel back in time during a right-angle turn deducts 10 points, and stopping midway deducts 5 points. The total score is 100 points, and exceeding 30 points deducted means failing. On my first attempt, I was too nervous and stalled twice, nearly failing. I recommend practicing mock tests more to familiarize yourself with the venue and reduce mistakes. In real driving, this helps develop spatial awareness.
