What are the precautions for Subject 2?

Precautions for the Subject 2 driving test include adjusting the position, finding the correct angle, avoiding stalling, and slowing down. Adjusting the position: The first thing to do after getting in the car is to adjust the seat and rearview mirror to a comfortable position and state, and fasten the seat belt. Finding the correct angle: When parallel parking, remember to find the correct angle. The steering wheel should be turned quickly, and your reaction should be fast, coordinating with the car's speed. Avoiding stalling: On the slope stop, remember to pull the handbrake. When starting, always turn on the left turn signal and release the handbrake. Keep the clutch steady, press the accelerator while releasing the clutch to avoid stalling or rolling back. For the right-angle turn, react quickly to turn after finding the correct point, and always coordinate with the car's speed to avoid deviation. Slowing down: The safest way to navigate the curve (S-turn) is to slow down. When reversing into the parking space, control the speed carefully, find your reference point, and make minor adjustments if you notice any deviation in the rearview mirror.
The most important points for the Subject 2 test, in my opinion, are mindset adjustment and basic operations. I went through it step by step as a beginner. When reversing into the parking space, first adjust the seat and mirrors to ensure consistent visibility; the clutch must be controlled steadily—too fast and you risk crossing the line, too slow and the engine might stall. Starting on a slope is particularly prone to mistakes, so the key is coordinating the clutch at half-engagement with the throttle. For parallel parking, focus on reference points and angles, practicing repeatedly to build muscle memory. On exam day, avoid drinking too much water to prevent nervous bathroom trips, arrive early to familiarize yourself with the test environment, and take deep breaths to stay calm. During practice, simulate exam conditions and ask your instructor for more realistic feedback. Safety comes first—never rush any operation; stop the car before thinking about the next step. It took me over twenty practice runs to pass, but persistence leads to mastery.
