What are the new items added to Subject 2?

[MacMolly]

New items added to Subject 2: Some regions have added simulated tunnel driving and simulated driving in rainy (foggy) and slippery road conditions, totaling 7 items; while in Shanghai, Subject 2 includes 9 items, adding simulated tunnel driving, parking for toll collection, emergency stopping, and narrow road U-turns. Below are some precautions for the Subject 2 test: 1. Adjust the seat properly: Before starting, ensure the seat is adjusted and the seatbelt is fastened before verifying fingerprints. 2. Follow the test item rules: Each test item in the examination area is monitored by GPS positioning. The control line (yellow dashed line) of each item represents the test area for that item. Once the front of the vehicle passes the control line, it means the test for that item has begun, and the test rules for that item must be followed to completion. 3. Correct mistakes promptly: When an operational error is detected, correct it immediately to ensure accuracy and reduce the chance of point deductions.

I just passed the Subject 2 driving test recently, and the newly added items really caught me off guard. In addition to the traditional items like reverse parking and hill-start, there are now simulated rainy/foggy weather driving and narrow road U-turns, which significantly increased the difficulty. The simulated rainy/foggy weather requires operating windshield wipers, turning on lights, and maintaining speed below 30 km/h in rainy conditions; the narrow road U-turn tests your reversing and turning skills in tight spaces. I was nervous during the test, but luckily got the hang of it after practicing a few more times. However, many people lost points due to improper use of rearview mirrors. The driving instructor said these additions are meant to simulate real road conditions and reduce actual driving accidents. After passing, I feel more confident about handling urban traffic.

After years of learning to drive, the newly added test items have seen significant changes, now including tunnel driving and sharp slope turns. The tunnel simulation requires switching headlights on and off, while sharp turns test steering stability and speed control. As someone who frequently instructs students, I recommend practicing these new sections more to develop emergency response habits. Common points of failure in the test often involve forgetting to adjust tunnel lights or improper wiper operation, making simulator practice crucial. These additions enhance safe driving skills and, in the long run, can reduce accidents among new drivers. Combining APP simulations with practical exercises yields better preparation results.

The new test items such as simulated rainy conditions and narrow road U-turns are well-designed, targeting common accident-prone areas to increase exam difficulty. The simulated rainy conditions require trainees to practice turning on lights, using wipers, slowing down, and avoiding obstacles, which are highly practical in real heavy rain situations; while the narrow road U-turn enhances spatial judgment and reverse control. Feedback from passed candidates shows a significant improvement in safety awareness, with the new items reducing panic during actual driving. Practicing a few times helps master the key points, benefiting overall driving skills.

Compared to the old Subject 2, new additions include tunnel testing and sharp curve handling. I happened to take the test right when the new regulations came into effect, making the challenge greater. The tunnel project requires turning lights on and off when entering and exiting, and simulating rainy conditions requires operating the windshield wipers while maintaining speed. The old reverse parking project is still there, but the details are stricter. During practice, I often used the driving school simulator to develop emergency response habits. The new sections emphasize adaptation to real-world scenarios. The pass rate might drop, but it's worth the effort, as you'll feel more confident driving on the road after learning.
