What is the distance between stakes in Motorcycle Subject 2?
2 Answers
For the motorcycle Subject 2 stake test, the distance between the stake and the sideline is the vehicle width plus 30 centimeters (generally about 1 meter between the stake and the sideline). Stake spacing: For ordinary and light two-wheeled motorcycles, it is the vehicle length plus 50 centimeters; for standard three-wheeled motorcycles, it is the vehicle length plus 40 centimeters; and for side three-wheeled motorcycles, it is the vehicle length plus 80 centimeters. Below are the relevant details: Test items: The motorcycle license Subject 2 test includes the stake test, slope fixed-point parking and starting, and passing a single-plank bridge. Notes: Ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles and light motorcycles must pass the single-plank bridge by driving over it. For three-wheeled vehicles and standard three-wheeled motorcycles, the left and right rear wheels must pass the single-plank bridge in sequence by driving over the left and right single-plank bridges respectively. For side three-wheeled motorcycles, the front wheel and left rear wheel must pass the single-plank bridge by driving over the left single-plank bridge, and then the right rear wheel must pass by driving over the right single-plank bridge.
Last time when accompanying a friend for motorcycle practice, I specifically asked the instructor. The distance between the poles for the slalom test in the motorcycle license test (Subject 2) is generally about 2.5 meters. This distance is designed based on the turning radius of common motorcycles. If it's too wide, it won't effectively assess control skills; if it's too narrow, it's easy to drop the bike. I've personally seen novice trainees practicing in particularly narrow spaces where the pole distance might be reduced to 2.3 meters, which especially tests the coordination of throttle and clutch. When weaving through the poles, remember to turn the handlebars only after the front wheel passes the pole, and lean your body with the center of gravity for stability. Before the actual test, it's best to personally measure the actual distance of the test site with your steps, as there might be slight adjustments in different regions.
