What are the differences between automatic and manual transmission in Subject 2 of the driving test?
1 Answers
The difference is that the automatic transmission Subject 2 test has been reduced to 4 items. The Ministry of Public Security introduced 12 new traffic management reform measures, including optimizing the content and procedures of the driver's license test. For small automatic transmission vehicles, the "slope parking and starting" item in Subject 2 has been canceled, reducing the test from 5 items to 4, making it more aligned with actual driving requirements and reducing the burden on candidates. The differences between automatic and manual transmission are as follows: 1. Higher learning cost for automatic transmission: The tuition fee for automatic transmission is higher than for manual transmission because the same model of an automatic transmission car is more expensive, resulting in higher learning costs. 2. License differences: There are differences between automatic and manual transmission licenses. A manual transmission license allows driving both manual and automatic transmission vehicles, while an automatic transmission license only permits driving automatic transmission vehicles, not manual ones. 3. Higher usage cost for automatic transmission: For the same brand and model, manual transmission cars are cheaper to purchase than automatic transmission cars. In later usage, manual transmission cars are also more fuel-efficient and cheaper to maintain compared to automatic transmission cars.
