The new regulations for the second subject of the driving test in Guangdong are as follows: 1. Small automatic transmission vehicles: The test content for small automatic transmission vehicles has been adjusted, with the "slope fixed-point parking and starting" item being removed from the second subject test. The number of test items has been reduced from 5 to 4, making it more aligned with actual driving requirements and reducing the test burden on candidates. 2. Test appointment time: The test appointment time has been adjusted. For applicants applying for a small automatic transmission vehicle driving license, the interval between the first subject test pass and the third subject test appointment has been reduced from 30 days to 20 days. For those upgrading to a large or medium-sized passenger or truck driving license, the interval has been reduced from 40 days to 30 days, thereby reducing waiting time for the test.
I recently got my driver's license in Guangdong, and the new regulations for Subject 2 are quite interesting. They've added a simulated tunnel driving section, requiring you to operate the car lights and steering in a dark environment. There are also time limits now for parallel parking and reverse parking, which must be completed within a specified number of seconds. The evaluation for hill starts has become stricter, with no stalling or rolling back allowed. I think these changes are meant to help new drivers adapt to real road conditions, like needing quick reactions in city traffic jams. During practice, it's good to use simulators more for light operations—safety is much more important than speed, and with a few more tries, you'll get the hang of it.
