What is the first item in Subject 2?

[DelDaniela]

Exam content is in random order, but all items are tested in one go. Specific details are as follows: C1 driver's license test items include: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving on a curve (commonly known as the S-curve). These five items are mandatory (some regions have a sixth item: highway card collection). Additional information: Passing standards: The full score is 100 points, with evaluation criteria 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 is required; for other vehicle types, a score of 80 is required.

Speaking of the first item in Subject 2, I remember it was reverse parking when I took my driver's license test. That feeling really made my palms sweat. The instructor always emphasized that this was the foundation, making you learn to control the car and your line of sight first. During the test, you have to reverse the car into a parking space without touching any lines. When I was practicing, I often crossed the lines because I was too nervous or turned the steering wheel too late. It wasn't until later that I realized the key was to go slower, use the rearview mirror to observe the angle, and not rush to look ahead. This item is arranged at the beginning to test your coordination in reversing, because reversing in parking lots is a high-frequency operation—safety first. If you can't pass this level, the subsequent curve driving and parallel parking will be even more chaotic. So when preparing for the test, I suggest practicing more in simulated test environments, don't be afraid of mistakes, and adjust step by step to become proficient. In the end, reverse parking is the starting point of practical driving—keep a steady mindset, and you'll naturally pass.

As someone who frequently instructs trainees, I believe that the beginning of Subject 2 is usually the reverse parking exercise, as it serves as a basic assessment of your fundamental driving skills. Students start by practicing this, requiring the car to be accurately reversed into the parking space with moderate width and no crossing of lines. I emphasize focusing on steering wheel movements and speed control, such as maintaining a low speed. Common mistakes among beginners include going too fast, leading to misalignment or directional errors, so I remind them to sit properly and frequently use mirrors to monitor their position. This exercise lays the foundation, ensuring that subsequent maneuvers like parallel parking or hill starts don’t go awry. During practice, it’s advisable to first familiarize oneself with the vehicle’s reference points and set markers. If mistakes occur repeatedly, don’t get discouraged; passing this will significantly boost confidence. Overall, the reverse parking test evaluates spatial awareness and control, serving as a fundamental building block for safe driving.

I just passed the Subject 2 test last month, and the first task of reverse parking really got my heart racing. On the exam day, I slowly backed the car in and passed it in one go – what a pleasant surprise! The instructor said this task tests reversing skills. During practice at the driving school, I always barely made it, but I remembered the key: stay focused and keep measuring the distance through the rearview mirror. In reality, the difficulty lies in angle adjustment – going too fast easily leads to crossing the line. After completing it, the subsequent tasks went much smoother. During practice, find an open space to try multiple times, focusing on key points like speed control and visual range. For safety considerations, it's reasonable as a starting point to avoid high risks.
