What are the test items for the automatic transmission vehicle in Subject 2?

The C2 Subject 2 test consists of 4 items: reverse parking, parallel parking, curve driving, and right-angle turning. Compared to the C1 manual transmission test, it excludes the hill start item. According to Article 25 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's 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 have designated it as the first test item. The key points for reverse parking are: the full-lock steering wheel point, the 30 cm correction point, and the parking point inside the bay. You must follow the specified 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 parking space with the rear wheels, spotting the rear corner in the rearview mirror, and maintaining the distance between the wheels and the left dashed line. After parking, the wheels do not need to be straightened, and don’t forget to use the turn signal when exiting. The vehicle body must not cross the lines after parking, and the tires must not touch the lane boundary lines during movement. Curve driving, commonly known as the S-curve, is relatively easy for many students with good driving sense, who can complete it intuitively. 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 reference points on the front hood and the position of the boundary lines. The wheels must not press the road edge lines. Right-angle turning is even simpler, essentially a simplified version of the exit part in reverse parking. The method for finding the reference point is the same as exiting the bay, based on the relationship between the horizontal line of the front hood and the front line (just touching or slightly delayed). Ensure the wheels do not press the road edge lines. Generally, the required training hours for C1 Subject 2 are 16 hours, while for C2 Subject 2, it’s 14 hours. Completing the required hours is a basic requirement for taking the Subject 2 test. Training hours can only be increased, not reduced, and additional test items require corresponding extra hours. Each training hour is 60 minutes, with effective teaching time not less than 45 minutes. If you fail Subject 2, 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 attempts (including retests, totaling 10 attempts), all previously passed subject scores will be invalidated, and you must restart from Subject 1.
