What are the test items for the C2 driver's license?
3 Answers
The C2 driver's license test includes the theoretical knowledge test of Subject 1; the field driving skills test of Subject 2; the road driving skills test of Subject 3; and the safety and civilized driving common sense of Subject 4. The C2 driver's license only allows driving small and micro automatic passenger cars, as well as light and micro automatic cargo vehicles. The test content of Subject 1 is the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test. The structure of the test question bank and basic question types are formulated by the Ministry of Public Security, and the provincial traffic management departments of public security organs establish the test question bank for their respective provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) based on local conditions. Subject 2 is the field driving skills test, which includes: reversing into a garage, turning at a right angle, driving on a curve, and parallel parking. Subject 3 is the road driving skills test, which includes basic test items: preparing to start, driving straight, changing lanes, passing through intersections, parking by the roadside, crossing pedestrian crosswalks, passing through school zones, passing through bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night. Subject 4 is the safety and civilized driving common sense, and the test item is related knowledge of safety and civilized driving.
The C2 driver's license test consists of three main sections, and as a driving instructor, I've witnessed many students go through them. The theoretical test (Subject 1) involves answering questions on a computer, covering traffic regulations and safe driving knowledge. The questions are drawn from a question bank, and a score of 90 or above is required to pass. The field driving test (Subject 2) is mainly conducted in a training area and includes tasks such as reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, driving on a curved path, and making 90-degree turns. For automatic transmission vehicles, the hill start is simplified since there's no need to use the clutch, which reduces students' nervousness. The road driving test (Subject 3) involves actual on-road driving under the supervision of an examiner, testing practical skills like passing intersections, changing lanes, and parking, as well as simulating emergency handling. The entire process ensures that everyone can safely drive an automatic transmission vehicle. I recommend practicing Subject 2 tasks more to avoid common mistakes like crossing lines during reverse parking.
I just passed my C2 driver's license exam a few months ago, and the whole process wasn't too difficult. For the theory test (Subject 1), I practiced on a test prep app for several weeks before passing, focusing on memorizing traffic signs and penalty rules. The most challenging parts of Subject 2 were reverse parking and parallel parking – my instructor had me simulate these maneuvers over ten times before I got the hang of it. The advantage of an automatic transmission is not having to worry about clutch coordination; for example, starting on a slope just requires pressing the accelerator, and I passed the test quickly. Subject 3 involved driving about 5 kilometers on the road, with the examiner checking my use of turn signals and mirror-checking habits – I passed on my first attempt. Overall, the C2 automatic transmission test is significantly simpler, saving both time and effort.
