What does it mean to not follow the prescribed route in Subject 2?
2 Answers
Not following the prescribed route means failing to drive according to the designated path. This prompt appears when the operation is not recognized by the computer or not performed. Generally, there are several reasons for this: 1. Reason one: During the test, you might have taken the wrong route. Currently, test sites across different regions use vehicles like the Santana or Jetta for exams. Due to variations in vehicle dimensions (length, width, height), the design of the curve driving dimensions also differs. If you take the wrong designated route, the computer will announce that you are not following the prescribed route. 2. Reason two: It could be due to unstable speed control when entering the curve driving section—either too fast or too slow—which can easily cause the computer to falsely report that you are not following the prescribed route. False reports are also common during the reverse parking test in Subject 2.
When teaching driving, I often see that 'not following the prescribed route in Subject 2' refers to the examinee not following the lines on the test site during the exam. For example, in the reverse parking test, the car should reverse in a straight line, but the examinee might drive off course or turn in the wrong direction; or during the hill start test, they might fail to stop at the designated spot. This mistake is mainly due to nervousness or insufficient practice, and the examiner will deduct points through monitoring or direct observation. The test route is carefully designed, and each step must be accurately aligned; otherwise, it's easy to cross lines, hit obstacles, or exceed the time limit. It's recommended to practice the designated path multiple times before the test, memorize the starting and turning points, and control the speed to keep it slow. In actual driving, randomly changing lanes is very dangerous, and this test helps cultivate standardized operating habits. Usually, I use a simulator to help people practice driving, emphasizing the route to ensure every turn is precise.
