Manual transmission Subject 2 deduction rules: 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 task 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 the turn signal for less than three seconds, forgetting to turn off the turn signal, or incorrect use of the turn signal, as well as stalling the engine, each result in a 10-point deduction. Boundary line deductions: If the vehicle body touches the parking space line or the wheels touch the lane boundary line while moving, a 10-point deduction is applied each time. Stopping for more than 2 seconds during the task results in a 5-point deduction each time.

The penalty details for the manual transmission Subject 2 driving test require careful attention. For example, when helping students practice, common mistakes include: reversing into the parking space with the car body crossing the line—resulting in a 100-point deduction and immediate failure; inaccurate stopping position on the slope—a deviation of within 30 cm deducts 10 points, while exceeding 50 cm deducts 100 points; rolling back more than 30 cm also incurs penalties. Stopping midway during any test item deducts 100 points—never stop. Crossing the line or failing to complete the parallel parking results in failure, and crossing the line during the S-curve drive deducts 100 points. Additionally, stalling due to unstable starting deducts 10 points but is not fatal. Time management, such as exceeding 30 seconds during reversing, deducts 5 or 10 points. Overall, it’s advisable to practice precise control, memorize the test route and reference points before the exam, and prioritize safety. Using a simulator during practice can be highly effective in reducing mistakes during the actual test.

I just passed the manual transmission Subject 2 test and realized it's crucial to understand the penalty points. During the exam, touching the line while reversing into the garage results in an immediate 100-point deduction and failure—I've seen a friend fail because of this. For hill parking, being off-center incurs penalties: 10 points for a 30 cm deviation and instant failure if over 50 cm. Stopping midway is a major no-no, costing 100 points; avoid stalling or rolling back during hill starts. Exceeding time limits during reversing deducts some points but isn't catastrophic. Mistakes like crossing lines or errors in parallel parking lead to full point loss. Stalling costs 10 points but can be recovered. Remember, exam nerves are normal—just breathe steadily and drive carefully. During practice, I focused on repeating hill starts and reversing, memorizing white line distances. A pre-exam simulation to familiarize with the test site boosted my confidence, improving pass rates.
