What does it mean to drive without following the examiner's instructions in Subject 2?
2 Answers
Driving without following the examiner's instructions in Subject 2 means failing to obey the examiner's commands. Below are relevant details about the Subject 2 test: 1. Precautions: (1) Before getting into the test vehicle, the examinee must check whether all four doors are closed. If any door is not closed, the test result will be disqualified. (2) After entering the vehicle, observe the dashboard to see if the vehicle is turned off or idling. If the tachometer shows zero, start the vehicle, but ensure the gear is in neutral before starting. (3) Adjust the seat and mirrors, fasten the seatbelt, and test whether the handbrake can be released. If it cannot, promptly contact the test site staff. 2. Common point deductions: (1) Starting the engine with the gear engaged. If the engine is started without the gear in neutral after the vehicle stalls, the test result will be disqualified. (2) Driving without following the examiner's instructions (entering the test items without the voice command to start the test in the test vehicle) will result in disqualification. (3) Incorrect use of the seatbelt (inserting it into the wrong slot or fastening it under the armpit). (4) Not releasing the handbrake when starting. (5) Opening the door before the test announcement of completion is broadcast.
Failing to follow the examiner's instructions in Subject 2, simply put, means you didn't obey the examiner's commands during the driving test. For example, the examiner said to turn left, but you turned right; or you were told to park in a designated spot, but you moved forward instead. The examiner acts as the referee in the test, and their instructions ensure the fairness and safety of the exam. This indicates you neglected the basic requirements of the test rules, possibly due to nervousness, distraction, or unfamiliarity with the process. I remember encountering such issues during my own test, which resulted in an immediate termination of the exam. During practice, the coach always emphasized listening carefully to instructions and doing more mock tests to reduce mistakes. This kind of error isn't a major fault, but it directly leads to point deductions or failure, which is quite a pity. Reflecting afterward, I realized it mostly stemmed from inadequate preparation or excessive anxiety, so I recommend more practice in simulated environments and improving focus to avoid it. Rescheduling a retest after failing is time-consuming and laborious, so it's better to get it right the first time.
