What does the driving license subject 2 test include?

Subject 2 includes the following tests: 1. Reverse parking: During the reverse parking test, you cannot pause midway. Therefore, you need to flexibly control the vehicle speed while reversing and learn to use the rearview mirror to judge the parking space lines to avoid crossing the lines during the test. 2. Parallel parking: While driving, pay attention to your sitting posture as incorrect posture may affect your judgment of reference points. During reversing, you cannot cross the lines or pause midway. 3. Hill start and stop: When stopping at a designated point, failing to accurately locate the point may result in point deductions. During the start, the vehicle may stall easily. When performing the hill start operation, you need to control the clutch properly and release it slowly, as releasing it too quickly may cause the vehicle to stall. 4. 90-degree turn: Pass through the 90-degree turn slowly without stopping midway, as stopping will result in point deductions. During the turn, try to stay close to one side. 5. Curve driving: The purpose of curve driving is to enable learners to use the steering wheel flexibly.
Subject 2 mainly tests five fixed items: reversing into a garage requires parking the car in a standard parking space without crossing the lines; parallel parking focuses on using the rearview mirror to find the right angle and avoid scraping the curb; starting on a slope particularly tests clutch control—you must stop in the designated area on the slope and avoid stalling or rolling backward when starting; for a 90-degree turn, you need to calculate the right moment to turn the steering wheel; curve driving involves slowly navigating an S-curve without crossing the lines. Remember, each item has specific deduction criteria, such as stalling deducting 10 points, or failing immediately if the car body crosses the line during garage reversing. When I was practicing, the coach always said to aim accurately, drive slowly, and adjust the seat height consistently each time to avoid mistakes.
Back when I was taking the test, I spent every day at the training ground. The core of Subject Two is the field driving skills test. Reversing into the garage is the hardest part—neither the front nor rear wheels can cross the garage corner lines. For parallel parking, it's all about aligning the right rearview mirror with the curb. Hill starts are prone to rolling back, so you must practice lifting the clutch to the semi-engaged position while coordinating with the handbrake. For right-angle turns, it's about aligning the reference points when navigating an L-shaped bend and turning the steering wheel fully. The S-curve requires maintaining a steady speed and watching the car's front sweep along the lines. The test vehicle is much more responsive than the training car, so I recommend renting a test car for a few practice laps to get used to the steering wheel's looseness and the clutch height.
