What are the test items for the manual transmission in Subject 2?

[DeAmelia]

Small car C1 test items include reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving on a curve (commonly known as an S-curve). Some regions also include a sixth item: high-speed toll card collection. The full score for Subject 2 is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. A total score of 80 points or above is required to pass the test. If the candidate fails the Subject 2 test on the first attempt, they can retake it once. If the candidate does not take the retest or fails the retest, the current test session is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of scheduled tests for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills tests must not exceed five times. If the candidate fails the fifth scheduled test, the results of other subjects that have been passed will be invalidated.

I recently learned manual transmission subject two and would like to share my experience. The test includes several items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves. For reversing into a garage, precise control of the steering is essential—don't turn the wheel back too early or too late. I adjusted my position slowly using the rearview mirrors. Parallel parking requires attention to the angle of the car body to avoid the tires crossing the lines, which is a common mistake for beginners. Starting on a slope is the most challenging part for manual transmission, requiring good coordination between the clutch and accelerator to prevent rolling back or stalling. I practiced this many times before getting it right. Turning at a right angle needs steady steering, and speed should not be too fast. Driving through curves is like navigating an S-bend, requiring continuous turning of the steering wheel. These items test basic driving and vehicle control skills, and solid practice is key to passing. Finally, a reminder: don’t get nervous during the test, and simulate the test environment as much as possible.

I'm a newbie to manual transmission, and passing Subject 2 felt quite thrilling. The main test items included hill start and stopping on a slope, which was the hardest part—you need to release the clutch slowly while adding a bit of throttle, otherwise, the car rolls back or stalls. Reversing into a parking space requires practicing the angles repeatedly to avoid misalignment. For parallel parking, I relied on the rearview mirrors to gauge the position and made sure not to touch the lines. The 90-degree turn was simpler—just control the steering wheel properly. The S-curve felt like dancing with the car, requiring flexible steering wheel movements. The entire test was conducted within a closed course, with each task performed consecutively while an examiner scored on the side. Stay calm during the test—if you fail the first attempt, you get another chance. I recommend practicing clutch control thoroughly with the driving school's training car; once you master smooth manual transmission starts, the test becomes much easier.

The core content of Manual Transmission Subject 2 consists of just a few key sections. Reversing into a parking space tests spatial awareness, requiring precise backing into the spot. Parallel parking assesses everyday parking skills, with attention to angles and avoiding crossing lines. Hill start is the most challenging part for manual transmission, demanding proficient coordination between clutch and throttle to prevent rolling back. Right-angle turns and curve driving evaluate steering control. All maneuvers are performed in a closed course, emphasizing steady operation. These form the fundamental driving basics – practice makes perfect.

I was extremely nervous during my manual transmission driving test (Subject 2), which mainly included reversing into a garage, parallel parking, hill starts, and other items. It's easy to make mistakes with the steering direction when reversing into a garage, causing the car body to deviate. During parallel parking, if the rearview mirrors aren't adjusted properly, you might run over the line. Hill starts were what I feared the most—releasing the clutch too quickly could stall the engine or cause the car to roll back. It took me many practice sessions to find the right balance. For the 90-degree turn, steering should be continuous—don't turn too abruptly. During the curve driving, keep the steering wheel movements smooth, not stiff. All these items are completed in sequence within the test area. It's advisable to do more simulations before the test, especially focusing on hill starts as a key point—after releasing the handbrake, slowly release the clutch while gently applying a little throttle.

My child just signed up to learn manual transmission, and I inquired about the test content. Subject 2 includes starting and controlling clutch skills, practicing precise reversing in reverse parking, simulating roadside parking scenarios in parallel parking, testing manual transmission anti-rollback ability in hill start, and assessing steering flexibility in right-angle and curve driving. For reverse parking, aim for the center of the target parking space; for parallel parking, watch the rearview mirror angle. In hill starts, find the harmony point between clutch and throttle, or it's easy to stall. Maintain steady speed when navigating curves. These are all fundamental driving skills that can boost confidence once mastered. I suggest familiarizing yourself with the test site layout in advance, practicing clutch operations more, and prioritizing safety first.
