What is the first thing to practice in Subject 2?
2 Answers
Subject 2 starts with practicing clutch control for starting. Below is the relevant introduction to Subject 2: 1. Small vehicle test content: The test items include five compulsory items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves (commonly known as S-curves) (some regions also have a sixth item: high-speed card collection). 2. Large vehicle test content: The test items include stake test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, driving over a single-plank bridge, driving through curves, turning at a right angle, passing through a limited width gate, passing through continuous obstacles, driving on undulating roads, making a U-turn on a narrow road, as well as simulated highway driving, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnels, rainy (foggy) weather, slippery roads, and emergency handling.
I remember when I was learning to drive, the first thing in Subject 2 was practicing steering wheel control and stationary gear shifting. The instructor had me sit in the car and continuously turn the steering wheel to get a feel for it—turning from full lock left to full lock right repeatedly. He said you shouldn't rely on the steering wheel markings but should memorize the number of turns. Then we practiced pressing the clutch in neutral—the left foot had to hover and press down completely before slowly releasing to find the semi-engagement vibration point. Only after mastering these fundamentals did we start driving straight lines. The training ground had white lines painted on it, and we had to follow them while slowly moving the car, keeping eyes on the distance rather than the wheels. The key was adjusting the seat and mirrors properly—when the seatback was upright, the wrists should rest on the top of the steering wheel. Anyway, laying a solid foundation is most important—things like reverse parking and hill starts become much easier afterward.
