Subject 2 clutch pedal posture involves placing the ball of the foot on the clutch pedal with the heel resting on the ground. When the clutch is fully depressed, the knee should remain slightly bent. Below are details about Subject 2: Objectives of Subject 2: Master the fundamental driving operations and acquire basic vehicle control skills; proficiently learn basic methods for driving in designated areas and on internal roads, develop the ability to properly use vehicle controls and accurately manage the spatial position of the vehicle, including precise control over the vehicle's position, speed, and path.

When I was preparing for the driving test (Subject 2), I spent a lot of time practicing the clutch pedal posture. The instructor taught me to firmly support my heel on the floor and keep the sole of my foot fully in contact with the clutch pedal. When starting the car, slowly lift the sole to find the engagement point, avoiding lifting too quickly to prevent stalling. Maneuvers like hill starts or garage parking especially require this posture to prevent the clutch from slipping or losing control. I found that with more practice, it became easier—first practicing clutch lifting and lowering in neutral to get the feel, then trying hill starts. Remember, keeping the heel grounded helps reduce leg fatigue and test mistakes. With the correct posture in the driver's seat, driving becomes much more comfortable.
