What is the first item to learn 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 in a straight line, followed by reverse parking. Each instructor may have a slightly different order, but the overall process includes reverse parking, parallel parking, right-angle turns, curve driving, and hill starts. Below are the relevant details: 1. Reverse parking: Since the clutch pedal travel of the exam car may differ from the training car, it's essential to understand the clutch's sensitivity before starting the reverse parking. Maintaining a steady speed—neither too fast nor too slow—ensures you won't miss the steering timing even under exam pressure, and provides enough time for adjustments if needed. 2. Parallel parking is similar to right-side reverse parking. With proper speed control, it's easier to hit the reference points and steer at the right time. Pay special attention to both side mirrors to avoid crossing the lines, making the final left full-lock steering timing crucial. 3. Right-angle turns: 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 exam car. 4. Curve driving: During turns, observe both side mirrors and adjust promptly. 5. Hill starts: These test your skill in using the clutch's half-engagement point. Start slowly, and when the clutch reaches half-engagement, release the clutch and brake gradually to avoid stalling.
