What is generally learned first in Subject 2?
1 Answers
In Subject 2, you generally start by familiarizing yourself with the gear positions and related equipment inside the car, then practice driving straight, followed by reversing into a parking space. Each instructor may have a different order of teaching, but the overall process includes reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, turning at a right angle, driving on a curve, and starting on a slope. Below is a detailed introduction to the relevant content: 1. Reversing into a parking space: Since the clutch pedal travel of the test car and the training car may differ, it's crucial to get a feel for the clutch height before starting the reversing maneuver. Maintaining a steady speed—neither too fast nor too slow—ensures you won't miss the timing to turn the steering wheel, even under the stress of the test, and provides ample time for adjustments if needed. 2. Parallel parking: Similar to reversing into a parking space on the right side, controlling the speed well makes it easier to hit the reference points and turn the steering wheel at the right time. Pay special attention to observing both side mirrors during parallel parking to avoid crossing the lines on either side, so the timing of turning the steering wheel fully to the left at the end is crucial. 3. Turning at a right angle: It's recommended to use the shoulder line and the right angle inside the test lane as references to minimize deviations when switching to the test car. 4. Driving on a curve: While navigating the curve, observe the left and right mirrors and make timely adjustments. 5. Starting on a slope: Starting on a slope tests your skill in using the clutch's semi-engaged state. Start a bit slower, and when the clutch reaches the semi-engaged state, release the clutch and brake gradually—releasing them too quickly can cause the engine to stall.
