What Does Motorcycle Subject 2 Test Include?

Motorcycle Subject 2 test includes stake driving, single-plank bridge crossing, and hill start. Stake driving: Start from the beginning point, drive around the stakes according to the direction indicated by the arrow, and stop at the end point. Single-plank bridge crossing: Ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles and light motorcycles drive over the single-plank bridge; three-wheeled vehicles and regular three-wheeled motorcycles have their left and right rear wheels pass over the left and right single-plank bridges in sequence; sidecar motorcycles have their front wheel and left rear wheel pass over the left single-plank bridge, then the right rear wheel passes over the right single-plank bridge. Hill start: Control the vehicle to stop accurately and start smoothly without rolling back. The starting time must not exceed 30 seconds. Methods and requirements for motorcycle driving tests: Applicants for light motorcycle licenses must be between 18 and 70 years old; applicants for regular three-wheeled motorcycles or ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles must be between 18 and 60 years old. First-time applicants or those applying to add a motorcycle license must go to the local traffic police station in their registered residence. Applicants must provide identity proof and a medical condition certificate issued by a county-level or military regiment-level medical institution. Those applying to add a motorcycle license must also submit their current motor vehicle driving license. Applicants must take the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test (Subject 1), the field driving skills test (Subject 2), and the road driving skills test (Subject 3). Each test can be retaken once. If the retest is failed, the test for that subject is terminated. Applicants can reapply for the test. After passing Subjects 1, 2, and 3, the vehicle management office will issue a motor vehicle driving license. Those applying to add a license type must return their original driving license.

I remember clearly the year I took the Motorcycle License Test - Part 2. The exam content was very practical, mainly testing basic riding skills. The first step was starting and stopping - you had to steadily start the engine in the designated position and park properly without stalling or coasting too far. Next was straight-line riding, maintaining balance without tilting to test control. The turning section assessed left turns, right turns and U-turns, requiring appropriate speed - neither too fast nor too slow - to demonstrate smooth steering through different curves. The cone weave was most technically challenging, riding along an S-shaped route while coordinating hands and feet to navigate between cones without touching any or crossing lines. Emergency braking simulated sudden hazards, requiring quick stops within safe distances. The hill start involved stopping and restarting on an incline, where throttle-clutch coordination was crucial. Before the test, I practiced daily in open areas with friends timing me. During the exam, staying calm and focusing on instructions made passing easier. For safety, instructors always reminded us to wear helmets and check the vehicle's braking system.

As an instructor who frequently coaches trainees, I believe that Motorcycle Subject 2 tests the fundamental operational skills. The exam consists of several sections: Starting and stopping ensures you can safely operate the bike during ignition and halting. Straight-line riding measures your ability to control the bike in a straight path, riding about 20 meters without deviation. Turning tests include right-angle turns and consecutive turns, requiring a slight body lean to assist balance during steering. The slalom (S-curve) is a key item, where you ride along a preset S-shaped path without touching the cones or crossing lines, testing flexible steering. Emergency braking checks your reaction to sudden stops, requiring you to halt safely within a few meters. Hill starts assess your ability to stop smoothly on an incline and then resume smoothly. I’ve noticed trainees often make mistakes due to unstable speed or nervous errors, so I recommend mock practice before the exam to familiarize yourself with the course markings. During the test, maintain steady breathing and follow each step methodically for success. During practice, focus on coordinating the clutch and throttle to reduce the risk of stalling.

I just passed my motorcycle license test Part 2 last month, and it was quite thrilling. The test covered basic maneuvers like starting & stopping, riding in a straight line, turning, and slalom. When starting, you need to steadily fire up the engine and stop precisely at designated points. Riding straight seems simple but tests your balance - no wobbling allowed. Turns include both left and right, requiring smooth angle transitions at low speeds. The slalom course was the most eye-catching part, weaving through poles without touching anything, where speed control is crucial. Mastering emergency braking helps you stop suddenly without skidding. During the test, listen carefully to the examiner's instructions and stay calm. I messed up my first attempt by going too fast initially, but improved after more practice. Overall it's not too complicated - just spend enough time getting familiar with riding and you'll pass.
