What are the test items for the C2 Subject 2 exam?
1 Answers
The C2 Subject 2 exam consists of 4 test items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, curve driving, and right-angle turns. In some regions, there is also an additional item for highway toll card collection. Compared to the C1 manual transmission exam, the C2 exam does not include 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 exams no longer assess the hill start and stop item. Reversing into a garage is one of the more challenging items in the Subject 2 exam, so many test centers have made it the first test item in Subject 2. The requirement is to follow the designated route and sequence, ensuring the vehicle is fully reversed into the garage without crossing lines, brushing lines, or stalling. Students should slow down, observe the left and right rearview mirrors carefully before fully entering the garage, identify the correct entry points, and make decisive adjustments to the vehicle's position. Parallel parking focuses on aligning the front line of the parking space with the rear wheel reference point, observing the rear corner in the mirror, and maintaining the distance between the wheel and the left dashed line. After parking, there is no need to straighten the wheels, but do not forget to use the turn signal when exiting. The vehicle body must not exceed the lines when stopped, and the tires must not touch or cross the lane boundary lines during movement. Curve driving, commonly known as the S-curve, is manageable for many students with good driving intuition, who can complete it "by feel," indicating its relatively low difficulty. However, some students misjudge the line positions during the actual exam, 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 boundary lines. The wheels must not press against the road edges. Right-angle turns are even simpler, essentially a breakdown of the exiting step from the reversing into a garage item. The method for finding the reference points is the same as for exiting—using the relationship between the front hood's horizontal line and the front boundary line (either aligning exactly or slightly delaying). Ensure the wheels do not touch the road edges. Completing the required training hours is a basic requirement for taking the Subject 2 exam. Training hours can only be increased, not reduced. If additional test items are added, corresponding training hours must also be increased. Each training hour is 60 minutes, with effective teaching time no less than 45 minutes. If a student fails the Subject 2 exam, they can retake it once. If they fail the retake, the exam session ends, and the applicant must reschedule the exam after 10 days. If the student fails five consecutive exam attempts (including retakes, totaling 10 attempts), all previously passed subject scores will be voided, and the student must restart from Subject 1.
