What are the steps for the tunnel and rainy/foggy road surface in Subject 2?
2 Answers
Before entering the tunnel, the vehicle should reduce speed in advance (second gear), sound the horn, turn on the headlights, and enter the tunnel slowly. Inside the tunnel, maintain appropriate speed control and avoid changing lanes arbitrarily. Before exiting the tunnel, sound the horn, turn off the headlights, and then leave the tunnel.
In the tunnel section of the Subject 2 driving test, I’ve developed a habit of checking the lights first: turn on the low beams about 50 meters before entering the tunnel, maintain a steady speed of 30 km/h, and avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration to disrupt the test rhythm. When reaching the middle of the tunnel, watch the dashboard to avoid speeding. Immediately turn off the lights upon exiting the tunnel to prevent point deductions. Similar operations apply for rainy or foggy road conditions: if simulating rain or heavy fog, quickly activate the wipers and adjust their speed upon hearing the instruction. In dense fog, also turn on the fog lights and width markers, reducing speed to 20-30 km/h for safety. Maintain straight-line driving throughout without drifting lanes, and respond promptly to the examiner’s instructions without delay. The test aims to cultivate good habits—these actions are crucial in real-world driving: failing to turn on lights in tunnels increases rear-end collision risks, while excessive speed in rain or fog can lead to loss of control. Dedicate extra practice time to simulations for confident handling.
