What are the deduction rules for Manual Transmission Subject 2?

[SanNora]

General deductions: Not wearing a seatbelt, not closing the car door properly, and not having the gear in neutral when starting the engine all result in a 100-point deduction. Parallel parking: If the vehicle body crosses the line after stopping in the parking space, or if the completion time exceeds 90 seconds, a 100-point deduction is applied. Failing to use or incorrectly using the turn signal when exiting the parking space also results in a 100-point deduction. Turn signal deductions: Not using the turn signal, using it for less than three seconds, forgetting to turn it off, or using it incorrectly, as well as stalling the engine, all result in a 10-point deduction each. Boundary line deductions: If the vehicle body touches the parking space line or the wheels touch the lane boundary line while driving, a 10-point deduction is applied each time. Stopping for more than 2 seconds during the process results in a 5-point deduction each time. Reverse parking: If the completion time exceeds 210 seconds, not following the prescribed route or sequence, not driving the front wheels over the control line before reversing, or failing to complete the reverse parking all result in a 100-point deduction. Mid-process deductions: Stopping for more than 2 seconds results in a 5-point deduction each time. Curve driving: If the wheels press against the edge line or the vehicle stops for more than 2 seconds, a 100-point deduction is applied.

As a driving instructor, I often remind students of the key points where points are deducted in Subject 2. Stalling the engine once during startup deducts 10 points, and if the vehicle rolls back more than 30 centimeters during hill-start parking, another 10 points are deducted. For reverse parking or parallel parking, touching the line or hitting a pole results in an immediate failure, so this requires the most caution. Stopping for more than 2 seconds deducts 5 points, and stopping for more than 5 seconds deducts 10 points, so control your speed and avoid stopping for too long. Forgetting to fasten the seatbelt results in an immediate zero, and if the front of the car crosses the boundary or line, it's also an immediate failure. The total score is 100, and falling below 80 means failure. I recommend practicing these details more during training, especially focusing on smooth starts and precise reversing, which can significantly reduce the risk of point deductions. Each mistake reflects the fundamentals of daily driving—like rolling back teaches hill safety, and touching the line improves spatial awareness.

I just passed the second driving test, and it was really nerve-wracking. I lost 10 points for stalling at the start, then another 10 points for rolling back on the slope parking—I almost failed. The examiner said crossing the line or hitting the poles would mean an instant fail, so I was extra careful during the reverse parking and thankfully didn’t touch the lines. Stopping for too long would deduct 5 to 10 points, so I kept the car moving slightly to avoid a full stop. Forgetting to fasten the seatbelt would mean an immediate fail. The total score was 100, and I barely scraped by with 85. Looking back, the main deductions were for starting issues, line control, and parking time—these details decided the outcome. My advice is to simulate the test environment more during practice to minimize mistakes.

I've been driving for over a decade, and the scoring rules for Subject 2 are very practical. Stalling at startup deducts 10 points to cultivate smooth operation, while rolling back more than 30 cm deducts 10 points to prevent slope hazards. Crossing lines or boundaries results in immediate failure, emphasizing safety limits, and stopping midway deducts points to ensure fluid driving. Forgetting the seatbelt means zero points, fostering safety habits. These rules total 100 points, with 80 needed to pass. They teach beginners to be as cautious as on real roads, such as preventing rollback for safety and reducing impulsive driving risks.

From a safe driving perspective, the penalty points in Subject 2 are crucial. Stalling during startup deducts 10 points, training clutch-throttle coordination to avoid sudden stops. Rolling back over 30cm deducts 10 points to prevent dangerous uncontrolled rollback. Crossing or touching lines results in failure, enforcing precise operation within space limits. Stopping midway incurs penalties, requiring continuous movement to reduce risks. Not wearing a seatbelt leads to immediate failure, cultivating safety awareness. With a total score of 100 and a passing mark of 80, these settings enhance overall driving skills.

My friend's story about taking the driving test (Subject 2) is unforgettable. He stalled the car at the start and lost 10 points, then nearly crossed the line while reversing into the parking space—doing so would have meant an immediate fail. He lost another 5 points for stopping for more than 3 seconds during the test. It was only thanks to wearing the seatbelt and not rolling back on the slope that he managed to pass. The whole process emphasized details like speed control, precise maneuvering, and preventing rollback on slopes. Deductions included minor mistakes costing 10 points and serious errors leading to failure. Remember, smoothness is key during the test, and these small points reflect the risks in everyday driving.
