What are the scoring criteria for Subject 2?

Failure to fasten seat belt: deduct 100 points. Failure to close car door properly: deduct 100 points. Failure to use turn signal when starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking, or using turn signal for less than 3 seconds: deduct 10 points (Using turn signal for less than 3 seconds is a common reason for point deduction among trainees.) Stalling once: deduct 10 points. Additional information: Most bamboo poles originally placed in mid-air on the new course have been removed. Single garage reversing is adopted. After the implementation of the new regulations, stake test and field test have been merged. The stake test for small cars has been changed to reversing into a garage, and the movement between two stakes has been canceled. During reversing into a garage, trainees are not allowed to stop midway in the test. Once stopped, the test is considered failed.
I remember when I was taking the Subject 2 driving test, the instructor repeatedly emphasized the details. The scoring criteria mainly included: Reversing into the garage - if the car body or wheels crossed the line, it would directly deduct 100 points and result in failure; incorrect positioning would deduct 10 points. Parallel parking - if the car body crossed or touched the line after parking, it would deduct 100 points; exceeding 2 minutes would also deduct points. Hill start - the distance between the front of the car and the designated line should not exceed 30 cm, otherwise 10 points would be deducted; rolling back more than 30 cm during start would also deduct 10 points. Right-angle turns must be taken at reduced speed; hitting the curb would deduct 100 points. Seat belts must be worn throughout the test; not wearing one would deduct 100 points. The total score was 100, and passing required at least 80 points. I failed my first attempt on the hill start section because I was too nervous and the car rolled back. I passed after more practice—the key is to develop precise control habits and maintain a calm mindset.
