What are the test items for Automatic Transmission Subject 2?
1 Answers
The C2 Subject 2 test consists of 4 items: reverse parking, parallel parking, curve driving, and right-angle turns. Compared to the C1 manual transmission test, it excludes the hill start. According to Article 25 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses' (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), starting from June 1, 2021, the C2 and C5 Subject 2 tests no longer assess hill parking and starting. Reverse parking is one of the more challenging items in the Subject 2 test, so many test centers place it as the first test item. The key points for reverse parking are: steering wheel full-lock point, 30 cm correction point, and parking point inside the bay. You must follow the prescribed route and sequence. The vehicle must be parked inside the bay without crossing the lines. Parallel parking focuses on aligning the front line of the bay with the rear wheel, spotting the rear corner in the mirror, and the distance between the wheel and the left dashed line. There's no need to straighten the wheels after parking, and don't forget to use the turn signal when exiting. After parking, the vehicle body must not cross the lines, and the tires must not touch or press the lane boundary lines during movement. Curve driving, commonly known as the S-curve, is manageable for many students with good vehicle control, indicating its moderate difficulty. However, some students misjudge the line positions during the actual test, leading to immediate failure by crossing the lines. The key to the S-curve is observing the position of the front hood's marker point relative to the boundary lines. The wheels must not press the road edge lines. Right-angle turns are relatively easier, essentially a simplified version of the exit part from reverse parking. The method for finding the reference point is the same as exiting the bay, focusing on the positional relationship between the front hood's horizontal line and the front line (just touching or slightly delayed). Ensure the wheels do not press the road edge lines. Generally, the C1 Subject 2 requires 16 hours of training, while the C2 Subject 2 requires 14 hours. Completing the required training hours is a basic requirement for taking the Subject 2 test. Training hours can only be increased, not decreased, and additional test items require corresponding additional hours. Each training hour is 60 minutes, with effective teaching time not less than 45 minutes. If you fail the Subject 2 test, you can retake it once. If you fail the retest, the current test session ends, and you must reschedule the test after 10 days. If you fail five consecutive test sessions (including retests, totaling 10 attempts), all previously passed subject scores will be voided, and you must start over from Subject 1.
