What does it mean to stop midway during Subject 2?
2 Answers
Stopping the car for more than 2 seconds is considered a midway stop. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Midway stop standard: In the driver's license Subject 2 test, a midway stop is determined when the GPS positioning confirms that the vehicle is in a completely stationary state during the test. The penalty for a midway stop has been changed from disqualification to deducting 5 points each time. 2. Ways to avoid midway stops: During the test, when passing over uneven ground or the seams between cement blocks in the test area, the speed should be slightly faster. When turning the steering wheel to the maximum, release the clutch a bit to prevent a midway stop; when returning the steering wheel, slightly press the clutch to control the speed.
During my driving test for Subject 2, I experienced a mid-stop while performing parallel parking—the car suddenly halted, and the system detected it, resulting in a penalty. I was very nervous at that moment, had unstable clutch control, and almost failed the test. Subject 2 requires the vehicle to move at a constant speed; a mid-stop means pausing operations, such as taking a break while reversing, which violates the exam rules. During practice, I developed the habit of slowly releasing the clutch and gently pressing the brake to avoid sudden stops. This not only helps pass the test but also cultivates smoothness in daily driving, preventing rear-end collisions. Looking back, practicing speed control was key, and taking deep breaths under pressure also helped.
