What does 'no stopping' mean in Subject 2?
2 Answers
During the Subject 2 driving test, from start to finish, stopping is not allowed, and doing so will result in penalty points. However, when reversing into a parking space, you can adjust the direction to balance the space on both sides before fully parking. Below is relevant information about Subject 2: 1. Test Attempts: You have one initial attempt for the Subject 2 test. If you fail, you can retake it once, totaling two attempts. If you do not take the retest or fail it again, the test session ends, and you must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving test permit, you can schedule the Subject 2 test up to five times. If you fail the fifth attempt, any previously passed subjects will be invalidated. 2. Test Content: The Subject 2 test includes reversing into a parking space, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, curve driving, and right-angle turns (Note: Some regions include a sixth item—highway toll card collection).
I just passed the driving test's Subject 2 and have a lot to say about the 'no stopping' rule. In the driver's license exam, certain Subject 2 maneuvers like reverse parking or hill starts require you to complete the operation in one continuous motion without pausing to rest or adjust direction. This means you must perform the action seamlessly from start to finish—for example, moving continuously from the starting point to the parking line without braking for more than half a second. If you stop midway, the system will record a penalty, which could directly lead to failing the test. This rule is designed to train your vehicle control skills and safety habits, as unstable stopping in real-world scenarios can cause rear-end collisions. I remember during my first practice session, I kept stopping to check my position, only to be scolded by the instructor for wasting opportunities. So, it's best to practice multiple times to develop smooth, uninterrupted movements and avoid letting nerves lead to mistakes.
