2 Answers
The actions for stopping in Subject 2 include turning the steering wheel to the right, pressing the brake and clutch, pulling the handbrake, shifting to neutral, releasing the clutch, and stopping. Below is relevant information about Subject 2: Test Items: The test items consist of five mandatory sections: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves (commonly known as S-turns). Some regions may include a sixth item, such as high-speed card collection. Passing Criteria: The full score is 100 points, with evaluation standards set for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. For large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required to pass. For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is considered passing.
Last time when I was learning to drive and taking the Subject 2 test, what scared me the most was the parking maneuvers, especially parallel parking and reverse parking into a bay. The specific steps start with preparation: first adjust the rearview mirrors to ensure you can see both sides of the parking space, fasten the seatbelt, and choose reference points like roadside markings. Then slowly reverse, turn on the indicator to signal your intention, check the mirrors to align with the reference points, and keep the speed slow by coordinating the clutch and brake. Halfway through, turn the steering wheel quickly left or right to adjust the angle—don’t rush, it’s better to stop and adjust again than to hit the curb. After parking, firmly press the brake, shift to neutral, and pull the handbrake to ensure the car is correctly positioned without crossing the lines. The whole process requires repeated practice. Driving instructors often say, ‘Slow and steady wins the race.’ At first, I was always nervous and couldn’t remember the reference points, so I had to watch videos and practice more. Once you get the hang of it, it’s not scary anymore!
