What are the contents of the D license Subject 2 test?

[LeGemma]

The D license Subject 2 test includes passing a single-plank bridge, stake test, and hill start and stop projects. There is no unified standard for Subject 3, which is mainly determined by the provincial public security traffic management departments, and you can drive according to the examiner's instructions. The D license test items are the same as the C1 license, including Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses": Article 27 states that the motor vehicle driver's test is divided into the road traffic safety laws and regulations and related knowledge test subject (referred to as Subject 1), the field driving skills test subject (referred to as Subject 2), and the road driving skills and safe civilized driving knowledge test subject (referred to as Subject 3). The D license allows driving three-wheeled motorcycles. The D-class driving license is also compatible with vehicles allowed by E and F-class licenses. The E-class license allows driving ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, and the F-class license allows driving light motorcycles, which means motorcycles with an engine displacement greater than 50cc or a maximum speed greater than 50km/h. According to the "Motor Vehicle Driving License Business Work Standards" issued by the public security department, motor vehicle driving licenses are implemented in a hierarchical system, so driving licenses are divided into 15 levels: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, D, E, F, M, N, P. The vehicle types allowed by different levels of driving licenses are as follows: A1 driving license allows driving large passenger vehicles; A2 driving license allows driving tractors, heavy and medium-sized full trailers, semi-trailer combinations; A3 driving license allows driving urban buses with a capacity of 10 or more people; B1 driving license allows driving heavy passenger vehicles; B2 driving license allows driving heavy and medium-sized trucks, etc.; C1 driving license allows driving small and mini passenger vehicles, etc.; C2 driving license allows driving small and mini automatic transmission passenger vehicles, etc.; C3 driving license allows driving low-speed trucks (originally four-wheel agricultural transport vehicles); C4 driving license allows driving three-wheeled vehicles (originally three-wheel agricultural transport vehicles); M-type driving license allows driving wheeled self-propelled machinery vehicles; N-type driving license allows driving trolley buses; P-type driving license allows driving tramcars.

The D license's Subject 2 test really gave me a hard time, mainly because of the three toughest challenges: slalom, narrow plank bridge, and hill start. The slalom was the most critical part—you had to maneuver the motorcycle through five or six poles without touching them or crossing the lines, leaning your body with the bike to maintain balance. The narrow plank bridge was only 10 centimeters wide, and if you weren't careful, the wheels would drop off, really testing your steering control. Finally, the hill start required stopping precisely in position and then smoothly starting again—poor clutch and throttle coordination would lead to an immediate stall. During practice, it's best to wear your own protective gear, find an open area to simulate the test route, and repeat each exercise dozens of times to build muscle memory.

The three key items my driving instructor emphasized during practice were: slalom, single-plank bridge, and hill start. The hardest part of slalom is controlling the speed—too fast and you'll hit the poles, too slow and the car becomes unstable. For the single-plank bridge, align with the entrance beforehand and maintain a straight line without wobbling the steering wheel once on it. The trick to hill starts is holding the clutch at the biting point before gradually applying throttle. On exam day, wear sports shoes as thick soles can dull pedal feel; fasten your helmet strap securely; during slalom, look ahead instead of fixating on the poles; take a deep breath to steady your hands before the single-plank bridge. After these three tests comes a simulated rain/fog section—remember to turn on headlights and hazard lights.

The D license subject two is a practical test that examines balance and control. The slalom requires flexible maneuvering without touching the poles, the single-plank bridge tests the wheel's precise tracking ability, and the hill start assesses the coordination of clutch and throttle. During practice, several common mistakes made by beginners are often observed: excessive throttle twisting during the slalom leading to loss of control, premature steering on the single-plank bridge causing the wheels to slip off, and releasing the clutch too quickly during hill starts resulting in stalling. It is recommended to record each practice session to review movements and seek guidance from an experienced rider. The motorcycles used for the test are typically around 150cc in displacement, and it is essential to familiarize yourself with the bike's condition in advance.
