What are the precautions for speed control training in Subject 2?

Precautions for speed control training in Subject 2 are as follows: Starting: Most of Subject 2 relies on clutch driving, which tests the control ability of the trainees. When starting, slowly lift the clutch to the semi-engagement point. At this time, the vehicle speed will suddenly drop, and the body will shake. Then you can release the brake and start smoothly. Speed control: In Subject 2, too high or too low speed can easily affect the operation. Learning to use the clutch to control the speed is crucial for the Subject 2 test. However, it should also be noted that during the test, do not deliberately press the clutch for the convenience of observation, just drive according to your usual habits. Gear shifting: In most areas, only first gear and reverse gear are used in the Subject 2 test. As long as you remember the gear positions, you will not make mistakes. The most common mistake is not engaging the gear properly. When shifting gears in the Subject 2 test, you must press the clutch to the bottom before shifting gears.
A few days ago, I accompanied my cousin practicing for the Subject 2 driving test, and the instructor focused the most on the speed control. Mastering the clutch pedal really requires muscle memory—your heel should stay grounded as a pivot point, while the ball of your foot slowly lifts, focusing on sensing the point where the car starts to vibrate. I’ve seen too many people stall on a slope because they released the clutch too quickly or failed to maintain steady speed during reverse parking, causing them to cross the line. Remember to wear thin-soled flat shoes when practicing—thick-soled sneakers will completely numb your foot sensitivity. Another tip: slightly ease off the clutch when turning the steering wheel to full lock, otherwise the increased resistance may cause the car to stall. Don’t ask how I know—I learned the hard way in the S-curve. Just practicing clutch control takes half an hour daily, and it takes at least a week to stabilize the speed.
During my second driving test, the instructor yelled at me to control the speed in the very first lesson. The key to clutch speed control is finding the semi-engagement point: when the tachometer needle suddenly drops half a mark, or the car hood slightly vibrates accompanied by a mild engine roar, keep your foot steady at that position! At this point, minor ankle adjustments are enough to control the speed. Three special reminders: never fully release the clutch during parallel parking—losing speed control will definitely cause you to cross the line; if you turn the steering wheel slowly during reverse parking, press the clutch slightly at the same time; if the engine stalls, don’t panic—press the clutch and brake firmly, shift to neutral, and restart the engine without penalty. Practice clutch control by placing a water bottle at your feet—if the water doesn’t spill, you’re doing it right.
