What are the scoring criteria for each item in Subject 2 of the driving test?
3 Answers
Subject 2 scoring criteria for each item are as follows: Reverse parking into a garage: Failure to follow the designated route results in disqualification; vehicle body crossing the line results in disqualification; failure to fully enter the garage results in disqualification; stopping midway results in disqualification; exceeding 4 minutes results in disqualification. Slope fixed-point parking and starting: After stopping the vehicle, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line and the deviation exceeds 50cm, 10 points are deducted; after stopping the vehicle, if the body is more than 30CM away from the roadside green line, 10 points are deducted; during slope starting, if starting exceeds 30 seconds, it results in disqualification. Right-angle turn: Wheel touching the edge line results in disqualification; stopping midway results in disqualification. Parallel parking: Stopping midway results in disqualification; wheel touching the line results in disqualification. Curve driving: Wheel going out of the edge green line results in disqualification; stopping midway results in disqualification.
I just passed the Subject 2 test, let me tell you about the scoring criteria. The reverse parking is the strictest - brushing the line with the car body deducts 100 points, being off by 30cm from the corner means failure, and crossing the line is an immediate fail. For parallel parking, you must enter the space in one attempt - forgetting to signal when exiting deducts 10 points. On the slope stop, parking beyond 30cm deducts 10 points, beyond 50cm is immediate failure, and rolling back over 30cm is also disqualification. For right-angle turns, steer early - hitting the corner deducts 100 points. During curve driving, never cross lines - wheel contact with edge lines means instant failure. Throughout the test, avoid stalling - each stall deducts 10 points, and starting with gear engaged is immediate disqualification. These are all easily overlooked points.
Over the years as an examiner, I've seen too many students fail the test. The five core items of Subject 2 mainly examine three points: First, crossing lines - if any wheel crosses a line in any exercise, it's an immediate zero score. Second, parking position - on the slope stop, exceeding 50cm front or back means failure. Third, operational errors - forgetting turn signals three times results in failure. Special reminder: in reverse parking, if the car body touches a line, it's a 100-point deduction. Hitting the curb in a 90-degree turn counts as crossing a line. The S-curve requires steady speed - stopping for over 2 seconds deducts 5 points each time. The system is very sensitive now - if the engine stalls and you restart without shifting to neutral, the test is terminated immediately.
