What are the test items for B2 Subject 2?

[SanIan]

Hill start and stop, parallel parking, single-plank bridge crossing, curve driving, right-angle turning, passing through width-limited gate, stake test, narrow road U-turn, simulated highway driving, simulated emergency handling, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, simulated emergency handling, simulated tunnel driving, and driving in rainy and foggy weather. These are the 14 test items for B2 driver's license Subject 2. The details of the B2 Subject 2 test items are as follows: Stake test: Reverse into the B garage from the starting point and stop correctly, then move the vehicle into the A garage with two advances and two reverses and stop correctly, then move forward out of the B garage to the control line, reverse into the A garage and stop correctly, and finally return to the starting point. The vehicle must not stop during the process, and the total time must not exceed 8 minutes. Parallel parking: After parking the vehicle on the right side in front of the garage, reverse into the garage in one go without stopping, and the wheels must not touch the lane boundary or garage boundary. Single-plank bridge crossing: During the test, the vehicle must not stop, and the wheels must not fall off the bridge. Narrow road U-turn: Drive the vehicle to the U-turn section and park on the right, complete the U-turn with no more than three advances and two reverses. The test time must not exceed 5 minutes. Right-angle turning: Drive the vehicle along the designated route, make a right-angle turn from left to right or right to left in one go without stopping, and the wheels must not touch the lane boundary. Curve driving: Commonly known as S-curve. The test requires the vehicle to drive on an S-shaped road of a specified width without pressing the edge of the road, and the steering must be used smoothly. This tests the driver's ability to control the vehicle through curves. The purpose is to train the driver's steering skills and mastery of wheel trajectory. Hill start and stop: Control the vehicle to stop accurately and start smoothly without rolling back. The starting time must not exceed 30 seconds. Simulated highway driving: After driving to the entrance ramp, turn on the left turn signal, look back to the left to observe the traffic, confirm safety, accelerate into the lane to the minimum speed limit, and drive normally, then turn off the turn signal. When changing lanes, turn on the turn signal of the lane you are about to enter, observe the traffic, and change lanes after confirming safety. When exiting the highway, adjust the speed and lane in advance according to the exit signs. Simulated emergency handling: During normal driving, randomly select one of the following emergency situations and simulate it with voice or lights: If an obstacle suddenly appears ahead, brake immediately, stop quickly, and turn on the hazard warning lights after stopping. In case of a tire blowout or other vehicle failure on the highway, slow down reasonably, observe the following traffic, park the vehicle steadily in the emergency lane, turn on the hazard warning lights, prompt passengers to move outside the guardrail, place the warning sign correctly, and the driver should move outside the guardrail and simulate calling for help. Simulated tunnel driving: Observe the road signs before driving into the tunnel and operate according to the signs. Slow down when approaching the tunnel, turn on the headlights, honk the horn, honk the horn again when approaching the tunnel exit, and turn off the headlights. Do not honk the horn in no-honking zones. Simulated driving in rainy (foggy) weather: Slow down the vehicle. In rainy weather, select the wiper speed according to the rain intensity. In foggy weather, turn on the fog lights, position lights, headlights, and hazard warning lights. Simulated driving on slippery roads: Slow down before entering the slippery road, then use low gear to drive at a constant speed and control the vehicle direction smoothly. Simulated driving on continuous sharp turns on mountain roads: Slow down before entering the curve, drive on the right side, honk the horn before entering the curve, and do not occupy the opposite lane during driving. Passing through width-limited gate: Drive through the three gates at a speed of no less than 10 km/h without touching the hanging rods.

When I was practicing for my B2 license, there were a full 16 items in Subject Two, which left a deep impression on me. Before getting in the car, you had to walk around the vehicle for inspection, and when starting, you couldn’t forget to fasten the seatbelt and release the handbrake. The hardest part was passing through continuous obstacles, which we called 'rolling over the pies'—you had to precisely drive the wheels over six round discs. Parking on a slope had to be done within the designated lines, and rolling back more than 30 cm during startup meant an instant fail. Parallel parking and right-angle turns seemed simple, but the large blind spots of the truck made it especially easy to cross the lines. Simulating rainy or foggy conditions required turning on the wipers, and driving on slippery roads demanded steadiness. Finally, the most challenging part was the reverse parking in the garage, which tested your sense of direction—even a slight tilt of the rear could result in hitting the poles. Every day, my arms would ache from practice, but these skills were truly essential for driving a truck.

I remember when I took the B2 license Category 2 test, there were many items, mainly divided into three categories: yard driving including reverse parking and moving between garages, parallel parking; obstacle courses like single-plank bridge and width-limited gate; and simulated road conditions such as narrow road U-turns and rainy/foggy slippery roads. Moving between garages required two advances and two reverses without crossing lines, while curve driving required aligning the wiper pivot with the bend center. The single-plank bridge demanded single-wheel crossing, where many trainees made mistakes. The width-limited gate had to be passed at exactly 20 km/h - both faster and slower speeds incurred penalties. The additional tunnel simulation required turning on lights in advance, with horn usage at entrance/exit being crucial. Actually, each item trained for real freight scenarios: reverse parking corresponded to cargo yard loading, while parallel parking resembled roadside unloading point stops.

The items for the B2 Category 2 driving test include: reverse parking (left and right sides), hill start and stop, parallel parking, right-angle turn, single-plank bridge crossing, curve driving, simulated emergency situations, narrow road U-turn, simulated rainy and foggy conditions, slippery road surface, continuous obstacles, simulated tunnel, and width-restricted gate. Each test item is equipped with sensors, and alarms will sound if the vehicle crosses lines or exceeds time limits. Special attention should be paid to turning on the low beam headlights 50 meters before entering the simulated tunnel and turning them off after exiting. In emergency situations, immediately brake and pull the handbrake upon hearing the voice prompt. Large vehicles have a larger turning radius, and the timing for steering during parallel parking is completely different from that of small cars.

When I was preparing for the B2 license's second subject test, I spent every day at the driving school. Among the 16 test items, I was most afraid of the reverse parking. First, you had to move the car from the left garage to the right garage, only allowed to move forward and backward twice each. If you turned the steering wheel half a second too slow, you'd cross the line. For the single-plank bridge, the right wheel had to go onto the right bridge first, then the left wheel onto the left bridge. A slight shake of the steering wheel would make you fall off. For the continuous obstacles, you had to align the lower left corner of the windshield with the iron discs, and by the third and fourth discs, you needed to turn the steering wheel an extra half turn. I almost failed the simulated tunnel test—I turned on the lights but forgot to honk the horn. Actually, the right-angle turn was the simplest, but you had to be careful not to let the right rear wheel touch the corner. Finally, the narrow-road U-turn had to be completed within 7 minutes, requiring three moves forward and two reverses.

Our driving school instructor always emphasizes that B2 Subject 2 is a life-or-death test, with all 16 items being real skills. When practicing garage shifting, he teaches us to observe the position of the garage corner in the rearview mirror, with the left rear wheel 30 centimeters from the garage line being ideal. For slope parking, we need to align the raised part of the right wiper with the marker pole, and parking for over 30 seconds results in a 100-point deduction. During curve driving, we must sit upright and turn our head to the left to see the ground markings. The wheel track project is the most challenging for vehicle sense, requiring the first track to align with the center of the car's front, and each subsequent track to be checked in advance via the rearview mirror for wheel position. After practicing, I realized how practical these skills are: narrow-road U-turns helped me turn around in wholesale markets, slope starts prevented rollbacks when hauling goods, and using fog lights in rainy days significantly improved driving safety.
