What are the detailed deduction items for the automatic transmission subject 2 exam?
3 Answers
Exam deduction items include not wearing a seatbelt, deduct 100 points; not closing the car door properly, deduct 100 points; not turning on the turn signal, deduct 100 points. There are 3 key driving tips for automatic transmission vehicles: 1. Waiting at red lights: Depending on driving habits, temporarily stop by pressing the brake while keeping the gear in D, as the torque converter in the transmission has a reaction wheel with a one-way clutch that amplifies torque from the engine crankshaft. It does not rotate at engine idle and only engages when engine speed increases; 2. Starting: Press the brake pedal to move the gearshift from P or N to driving gears. Release the brake pedal, and the vehicle will start moving slowly. The purpose of pressing the brake in advance is to ensure the safety of the driver and the vehicle; 3. Starting the engine: The engine can only be started when the gearshift is in P or N position. If the gearshift is in driving gears like D, R, etc., the engine cannot be started.
I remember having to pay special attention to the point deductions during the automatic transmission Subject 2 test, as Subject 2 is the field test, which includes sections like hill-start parking, curve driving, reverse parking into a garage, and parallel parking. The most critical deductions come from crossing lines—for example, if the wheels touch the yellow edge line during reverse parking, it's an immediate 10-point deduction. Parking outside the designated area, such as failing to stop the car within the specified zone on a slope (either not reaching or overshooting the stop line), also results in a 10-point deduction. Basic operational mistakes, like not signaling in time when starting or forgetting to engage the handbrake when parking, can cost you 5 to 10 points each. With a total score of 100 points, losing 20 means failing the test. That's why during practice, I always focused on the details my instructor emphasized—moving slowly through each section and paying attention to signs—to avoid most mistakes. In short, simulating real driving scenarios more often reduces panic and naturally lowers point deductions.
As someone who just passed the Subject 2 test, I understand the importance of knowing the penalty details for the automatic transmission license test. Several major items are prone to errors during the test: incorrect positioning during hill-start parking deducts 10 points if the car isn't stopped within the designated area; touching the line during curve driving deducts 5 points each time, and accumulating too many can be risky; wheel touching the line during reverse parking also deducts 10 points, and accidentally hitting the curb will result in immediate failure. From personal experience, the starting phase must be quick—being too slow will incur penalties, and the seatbelt must be securely fastened, otherwise a 20-point deduction means instant failure. The entire test should be conducted at a steady speed without rushing. Spend extra time practicing the reverse parking segment, as it's the most frequent penalty area. Mastering it builds confidence, reducing fear of minor mistakes. Developing safe driving habits here benefits future road driving.
