What are the items in Subject 2?

The C1 and C2 driving tests include five mandatory items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope (canceled for C2), turning at a right angle, and driving on an S-curve (commonly known as the S-bend). Some regions also include a sixth item: collecting a card on a highway. The A1, A2, A3, B1, and B2 driving tests include the following items: pole test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, crossing a single-plank bridge, driving on an S-curve, turning at a right angle, passing through a width-restricted gate, navigating continuous obstacles, driving on bumpy roads, making a U-turn on a narrow road, and simulations of highway driving, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnels, rainy (foggy) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling. The full score for Subject 2 is 100 points, with evaluation criteria for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. The test is considered passed under the following conditions: ① For large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required; ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required. If a candidate fails the Subject 2 test, they can retake it once. If they do not take the retest or fail the retest, the test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. During the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of rescheduled tests for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills must not exceed five. If the fifth rescheduled test is still failed, the results of other passed subjects will be invalidated.
When I was preparing for the second driving test, I spent every day at the driving school practicing five main tasks: parallel parking was the hardest, requiring precise angle calculation to get it right in one go; for perpendicular parking, I had to be careful not to touch the curb; hill starts were the most nerve-wracking, as I had to find the clutch's biting point to avoid rolling back; for the 90-degree turn, I needed to stay close to the edge and turn the wheel fully once the rearview mirror passed the corner; and the S-curve required slow, controlled speed. Every day, I ached all over, and my instructor always scolded me for poor timing. On the test day, I almost forgot to fasten my seatbelt and nearly hit the corner during the 90-degree turn—my palms were drenched in sweat. Personally, I believe mastering clutch control until it becomes muscle memory is crucial; if you go too fast, you'll fail every task.
