What is the correct position for the rearview mirror in Subject 2?

[Rob]

The correct position for the rearview mirror in Subject 2 is to adjust it so that the car body occupies 1/4 of the mirror area. Below is relevant information about the Subject 2 driving test: 1. Passing criteria: The full score is 100 points, with evaluation standards set for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. The test is passed if the following conditions are met: For large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required; for other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required. 2. Test and retake: Each subject of the driving test can be taken once, with one retake allowed if failed. If the retake is not taken or is still failed, the current test session ends, and the applicant must reschedule the test. However, Subject 2 must be rescheduled at least 10 days later.

Adjusting the rearview mirrors for the driving test isn't just about turning them randomly. When I was practicing, the instructor repeatedly emphasized that the mirrors must show both the wheels and ground markings to be properly set. The left mirror should be adjusted to show half sky and half ground, with the rear wheel position clearly visible in the ground portion. The right mirror needs to be tilted even lower, with about two-thirds showing the ground - this makes tire alignment during parallel parking immediately obvious. Remember to keep a small portion of the car body visible as reference, but no more than one-quarter of the mirror surface. After adjusting, turn your head to confirm - if the rear door handle touches the mirror's upper edge, it's perfect! Properly adjusted mirrors can reduce half of common issues like crossing lines during reverse parking.

During the preparation for the Subject 2 driving test, I spent days fine-tuning the rearview mirror positions. The left mirror must ensure an equal split between the ground and sky in the view, with focus on the positional relationship between the wheels and the markings. The right mirror needs to be tilted downward significantly, with the ground occupying over two-thirds of the mirror surface, which is crucial for accurately spotting the corner of the parking space during parallel parking. Only a sliver of the car body should appear at the mirror's edge, while the door handle should align perfectly with the top of the mirror. The first task after every driver change was adjusting the mirrors—always after setting the seat, otherwise all reference points would be off. Finally, it's essential to lean inside the car to double-check, ensuring both side mirrors avoid any bodywork obstruction.

Adjusting the rearview mirrors is particularly important for the Subject 2 driving test. The left mirror should be adjusted to clearly see the position of the rear wheel, with the ground occupying about 50% of the mirror surface. The right mirror should show less sky, with at least 60% of the mirror displaying the ground. The key point is to be able to directly observe the wheel alignment with the lines through the mirrors, with only a small part of the car body visible as a reference. Don't forget to test the effect before starting the test; it's best to find a ground marking as a reference to check. In actual driving, adjustments should be made in conjunction with the seat position, otherwise, misalignment can easily lead to errors. With the mirrors properly adjusted, the success rate of reverse parking will significantly improve.

During my driving test for Subject 2, my biggest fear was improperly adjusted rearview mirrors. The correct approach is: first secure the seat and sit upright, adjust the left mirror to just see the rear door handle and wheel position, with the horizon split 50-50 for optimal safety; the right mirror should be boldly tilted downward, allowing the ground to occupy two-thirds of the view for clear visibility of the corner lines during parallel parking. Only a quarter of the car body needs to be visible in the mirror, with the key focus on ensuring the wheel tracks are fully visible. Before every mock test, I spent two minutes adjusting the mirrors, and on the exam day, I even asked my instructor to double-check them. Remember not to touch the mirrors once they're set, or you might cross the line during reverse parking.

The position of the rearview mirrors directly affects the pass rate of Subject 2. Based on my experience, when adjusting the left mirror, position it so that the rear door handle appears at the top edge of the mirror, with the ground markings occupying half of the mirror surface. For the right mirror, increase the downward angle so that the ground occupies 70% to clearly see the boundary lines of the parking space. Avoid having the car body occupy too much of the mirror—keep it below 20%. After adjustment, always check if the mirror view is obstructed by the car body. It's best to step out of the car to confirm if the left and right views are symmetrical. The veteran instructors at the training ground always remind us: "If the mirrors aren't set right, all your Subject 2 practice is wasted." During practice, try adjusting the mirrors several times to find the optimal angle—this will ensure stability during the test.
