What are the test items for the manual transmission Subject 2 exam?
2 Answers
The C1 driver's license Subject 2 exam has five mandatory test items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, curve driving, right-angle turning, and hill start and stop. Some regions also include a high-speed card retrieval item. Passing standard: The full score is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for disqualification, 20-point deduction, 10-point deduction, and 5-point deduction. The C1 driver's license permits driving small and micro passenger vehicles, among others. Reversing into a garage: The examinee must park the car in a designated garage without stalling the engine, sweeping the line with the car body, or crossing the line. Parallel parking: The car must be parked in a side garage without crossing or sweeping the line, and the turn signal must be used appropriately. Curve driving: Safely navigate an S-curve while being mindful of the car body sweeping or crossing the line. Hill start and stop: Park the car on a designated slope with the front and rear distance not exceeding 50 cm, and smoothly start from the slope. Right-angle turning: Safely navigate a 90-degree right-angle turn without crossing or sweeping the line and using the turn signal. Subject 2 exam tips: Before starting the car, adjust the seat height and rearview mirrors to ensure a wide field of vision, and fasten the seatbelt. During the exam, do not stop unless the voice prompt indicates a failure. For parallel parking, find the correct angle, turn the steering wheel quickly, react promptly, and coordinate with the car's speed. For hill start and stop, remember to pull the handbrake, turn on the left turn signal when starting, release the handbrake, stabilize the clutch, and simultaneously press the accelerator while releasing the clutch to avoid stalling or rolling back. For right-angle turning, find the reference point before turning and coordinate with the car's speed. For curve driving (S-curve), slow down and drive carefully. For reversing into a garage, control the speed, find the reference point, and make minor adjustments if the rearview mirror shows any deviation. Subject 2 deduction items: Reversing into a garage: Car body crossing the line results in a 100-point deduction and disqualification; failing to fully enter the garage results in a 100-point deduction and disqualification; stopping midway deducts 5 points each time; failing to complete the exam within the specified time results in a 100-point deduction and disqualification. Parallel parking: Car body crossing the line after stopping in the garage results in a 100-point deduction and disqualification; stopping midway deducts 5 points each time; tires or car body touching the edge line deducts 10 points; failing to complete the exam within the specified time results in a 100-point deduction and disqualification. Curve driving: Wheels crossing the road edge line results in disqualification; stopping midway results in disqualification; driving in a gear lower than second deducts 5 points. Right-angle turning: Wheels crossing the road edge line results in disqualification; stopping midway deducts 5 points each time. Hill start and stop: If the car's front bumper or motorcycle's front axle is not aligned with the pole line and exceeds 50 cm after stopping, it results in disqualification; exceeding the specified start time results in disqualification; if the car's front bumper or motorcycle's front axle is not aligned with the pole line but does not exceed 50 cm after stopping, it deducts 10 points; if the car body is more than 30 cm but less than 50 cm from the road edge line after stopping, it deducts 10 points; failing to fully engage the parking brake deducts 10 points. The C1 exam consists of four subjects, with other items as follows: Subject 1: Tests basic road traffic knowledge. Subject 3: Tests 16 driving skills, including preparation, starting, and straight-line driving. Subject 4: Tests safe and civilized driving requirements, similar to Subject 1, both being theoretical exams.
The manual transmission Subject 2 driving test consists of several key components, primarily assessing in-field driving skills. These include: Reverse Parking (backing into a narrow parking space with precise alignment using reference points), Parallel Parking (parking alongside the curb with controlled steering at low speed), Hill Start (stopping on an incline and restarting without rolling back or stalling), 90-degree Turn (navigating a right-angle turn at designated intersections), and S-curve Driving (maintaining steady speed through serpentine bends). Having just taken this test, I must admit reverse parking was the most challenging—despite repeated practice, I still fumbled. Exam composure is crucial; stay calm and proceed methodically to pass. These exercises test coordination, and mastering them enhances driving safety and confidence, especially with manual transmissions where clutch-brake coordination demands precision. Regular simulation practice breeds proficiency.
