Scoring rules for Subject 2: Not wearing a seatbelt: deduct 100 points; Starting the engine without the gear in neutral: deduct 100 points; Not using turn signals (including starting, changing lanes, overtaking, turning, and parking by the roadside); Turn signal not used for more than 3 seconds (Note: this is easily overlooked!); Forgetting to turn off the turn signal or using it incorrectly, deduct 10 points; Stalling once: deduct 10 points. The detailed scoring rules for Subject 2 are as follows: Reverse parking: Not following the prescribed route sequence, deduct 100 points; Vehicle body crossing the line, deduct 100 points; Failing to complete the parking, deduct 100 points; Before reversing, not having both front wheels pass the control line, deduct 100 points; Exceeding the 210-second time limit for the task, deduct 100 points; Stopping for more than 2 seconds during the task, deduct 5 points each time. Parallel parking: Vehicle body crossing the line after parking, deduct 100 points; Not using or incorrectly using turn signals when exiting, deduct 10 points; Exceeding the 90-second time limit for the task, deduct 100 points; Vehicle body touching the parking space line during movement, deduct 10 points per occurrence; Wheels touching the lane line during movement, deduct 10 points per occurrence; Stopping for more than 2 seconds during the task, deduct 5 points per occurrence. 90-degree turn: Wheels touching the road edge line, deduct 100 points; Not using or incorrectly using turn signals during the turn, or not turning off the turn signal after the turn, deduct 10 points; Stopping for more than 2 seconds during the task, deduct 5 points per occurrence. Curve driving: Wheels touching the road edge line, deduct 100 points; Stopping for more than 2 seconds during the task, deduct 100 points; Not driving in second gear or higher, deduct 5 points.
I remember when I took the Subject 2 driving test last year, I studied the penalty rules in advance. The main items included parallel parking, hill start, right-angle turns, and curve driving. Crossing the line was the most common mistake, such as the tire touching the marking line, which deducts 10 points each time. If the vehicle body completely exceeds the boundary line, it is considered a failure. During hill start parking, if the front of the car is not within the designated area, 10 points are deducted; stalling the engine also deducts 10 points, but restarting is allowed to continue the test. Exceeding the time limit, such as taking more than 1.5 minutes for parallel parking, deducts 10 points; failing to observe the rearview mirror or not following traffic signals deducts 10 points each time. The total test score is 100 points, and accumulating 20 points in deductions results in failure. I recommend practicing steering control and speed management more often, and having a friend outside the car to help check positioning to reduce unnecessary tension. Staying calm during the test is key—don’t let mistakes affect subsequent items. These rules are meant to develop good driving habits and avoid chaos on the road.
