Here are the precautions for stopping and taking the card in Subject 2: 1. Avoid crossing the line: When entering the stop-and-take-card section, in addition to looking at the front of the car and aligning the body, you should also pay attention to the rearview mirror to prevent the rear wheels from crossing the line. 2. Find the right position: During the test, control the speed, find the correct stopping position, and stop in time. Otherwise, if you miss the correct position, you will not be able to take the card (swipe the card), or if you reverse to adjust, you will fail. 3. Control the distance: Just like parallel parking, the stopping position for stopping and taking the card must also be controlled well. You cannot cross the line, but you cannot be too far away either. If it exceeds 50cm, you will lose 100 points.
For the parking and card retrieval segment in Subject 2, I practiced numerous times before the test. The key was to smoothly glide the car into position at an extremely slow speed, using the clutch's semi-engaged state to avoid stalling. Positioning had to be precise—parallel to the card machine with the front aligned outside the yellow line, ensuring easy reach for the card. Touching the line meant an immediate fail. During practice, I often misaligned and couldn’t reach, but my coach taught me to use rearview mirror reference points for improvement. On exam day, my heart raced, but I took deep breaths and followed steps: approach slowly, stop steadily, engage handbrake and neutral, ensure safety before taking the card, and avoid rushing to start. This skill is practical in daily life too, like at mall parking lots, saving hassle. Staying relaxed is crucial—I passed through repeated mock tests; one failure shouldn’t discourage you.
