The Subject 2 test items for small cars (C1 and C2 licenses) include five mandatory items: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (some regions may have a sixth item, highway card collection). Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment, specifically the field driving skills test. A score of 80 or above is required to pass for small cars, while 90 or above is needed for large vehicles. The details are as follows: Reverse Parking: Correctly judge the vehicle's reverse trajectory and maneuver the vehicle to complete reverse parking. Parallel Parking: Operate the vehicle to correctly park into a roadside parking space on the right side while in motion. Stopping and Starting on a Slope: Accurately determine the stopping position; coordinate the use of the accelerator pedal, parking brake, and clutch to start smoothly. Curve Driving: Operate the steering device while in motion to control the vehicle's movement along a curve. Right-Angle Turns: Correctly operate the steering device while in motion and accurately judge the difference between inner and outer wheels. Subject 2 Deduction Details: Reverse Parking: Vehicle body crosses the line: 100-point deduction; Failure to complete parking: 100-point deduction; Before reversing, if both front wheels do not pass the control line: 100-point deduction; Exceeding the allowed time for the task: 100-point deduction; Stopping midway: 5-point deduction per occurrence. Parallel Parking: Vehicle body crosses the line after parking: 100-point deduction; Failure to use or incorrect use of turn signals when exiting: 100-point deduction; Exceeding the allowed time for the task: 100-point deduction; Vehicle body touches the parking space boundary line while moving: 10-point deduction per occurrence; Wheels touch the road edge or parking space boundary line while moving: 10-point deduction per occurrence; Stopping midway: 5-point deduction per occurrence. Curve Driving: Wheels touch the road edge line: 100-point deduction; Stopping midway: 5-point deduction per occurrence. Right-Angle Turns: Vehicle touches the road edge line: 100-point deduction; Failure to use or incorrect use of turn signals during the turn: 10-point deduction; Failure to turn off turn signals after completing the turn: 10-point deduction; Stopping midway: 5-point deduction per occurrence. Stopping and Starting on a Slope: After stopping, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line and exceeds 50 cm: 100-point deduction;

I just got my driver's license last year. The five items in Subject 2 were reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start, right-angle turn, and curve driving. I was most nervous about reverse parking during the test because I have a poor sense of direction and tend to cross the line or park crookedly. Parallel parking tests quick parking skills—one slight mistake and you might hit the curb. Hill start assesses starting on a slope; poor control can cause the car to roll back. The right-angle turn requires flexible steering—turning too early or too late is unacceptable. Curve driving requires maintaining low speed while turning, like steadying the wheel on a winding road. These items are actually the foundation of safe driving, and mastering them can reduce daily fender benders. I practiced them daily at driving school, and the instructor emphasized paying attention to vehicle dimensions and speed control, using rearview mirrors for positioning, which proved most effective. Now, when driving on the road, these skills are incredibly helpful, especially when parking on crowded streets or navigating tight turns—it gives me much more confidence.

I have been teaching driving courses, and the five items of Subject 2 include reverse parking into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves. Reverse parking assesses precise parking and spatial judgment; parallel parking tests the speed and safety of roadside parking; stopping on a slope involves techniques to prevent rolling back when starting; turning at a right angle checks the sensitivity of steering operations; driving through curves requires controlling the speed for smooth cornering. These items are quite practical, covering basic driving scenarios. In teaching, I always remind students to start practicing with reverse parking first, using the rearview mirrors and road signs to align with the points and lines, and not to rush in and out. These skills are crucial for preventing accidents in real driving situations, such as being unafraid of skidding in rainy days if you master driving through curves. More practice in the simulation field can boost confidence.

What does it mean when the cruise-main light is on?

cruise-main light being on indicates that the cruise control system is activated. Here is an extended explanation: 1. cruise-main is the cruise control system indicator light in a car. The light turning on means the cruise control system is activated, which maintains the vehicle's speed. In other words, after setting cruise control, you don't need to press the accelerator to maintain the original speed. 2. When the electronic cruise system on/off switch is turned on, the car's cruise system starts working, and the "cruise-main" indicator light will illuminate. 3. Press the on/off switch to activate the cruise system, and press it again to turn the system off.

How to Identify a Car's Model Year?

To identify a car's model year, follow these methods: You can determine the model year based on the vehicle's brand and model, which typically indicate the manufacturing date and engine displacement. Alternatively, check the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) located at the lower right side of the front passenger seat to access basic vehicle information. Additional information: The simplest way to check purchase details is through the VIN. Note that VIN positions vary by vehicle - some are found under the front passenger door (visible when opened), while others are positioned at the lower right front of the passenger seat. The VIN consists of 17 alphanumeric characters, commonly known as the 17-digit code.

What kind of engine oil is better for the first maintenance?

Every vehicle has a standard original engine oil recommended by the manufacturer. Here is the relevant information: 1. In fact, the first maintenance project is very simple, which is to replace the engine oil and oil filter, as well as some routine inspections of the vehicle, such as the wear of tires and brake pads, the scale of various fluids in the engine compartment, the scale of antifreeze, lifting the vehicle to check whether there are any scratches on the chassis, and whether the brackets and tie rods of the chassis are deformed. 2. The main purpose of replacing the engine oil is to make the engine work better, because during the break-in period, some impurities will be generated inside the engine. Therefore, it is necessary to replace the engine oil and oil filter, so that the engine oil can better lubricate the various components inside the engine.

Can Uncomfortable Car Seats Be Replaced?

Car seats can be replaced, but replacing seats is considered vehicle modification and may not pass annual inspections. It is recommended not to replace them. Here is relevant information: 1. If car seats are altered arbitrarily, the vehicle will definitely fail the annual inspection, as this involves modifying the car's structure. Moreover, arbitrary modifications pose significant safety hazards, especially when driving on highways, creating substantial risks. 2. The seat position is calculated and designed to be precisely at the force-bearing point. Unauthorized changes to the force-bearing point can affect the car's balance and seat safety. It is best to purchase seat covers that are easy to clean, durable, provide insulation, and are personalized, with comfort being the most important factor.

Can Fully Synthetic Engine Oil Be Used in Any Car?

Fully synthetic engine oil is not suitable for economy cars or even some mid-to-high-end sedans. Here is relevant information: 1. Due to the lower manufacturing processes and technology of economy car engines compared to high-end sedans, using fully synthetic oil is not conducive to cold starts and may affect sealing performance, potentially leading to engine wear. Therefore, economy cars are best suited for semi-synthetic oil or the manufacturer-specified oil type. 2. Engine oil should not be changed arbitrarily. It is recommended to continue using the same type of oil as originally specified by the manufacturer. If the engine or computer has been modified, the decision to use fully synthetic oil should be made based on the specific circumstances. Additionally, since it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of engine oil quality in the current market, it is advisable for car owners to change their oil at authorized 4S shops.
