What is the ideal cushion height for Subject 2?

[Elena]

For Subject 2, the optimal cushion height is when you sit on the seat with your hands naturally stretched forward and straightened, and the wrist part of your palm can touch the upper edge of the instrument panel. Below is a detailed introduction to the driving test: 1. Subjects: The test is conducted in the order of Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3, and Subject 4. 2. Retake: For driving tests, Subject 2 and Subject 3 can only be taken five times each. If you fail, you will have to pay the tuition fee again. According to the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123 and No. 124, if you fail the fifth scheduled test for Subject 2 or Subject 3 road driving skills test, all previously passed subjects will be invalidated. If you still want to obtain a driver's license, you will have to re-register and pay the tuition fee.

The adjustment of seat height is crucial during the Subject 2 driving test. I always prefer setting it to a position where I can clearly see about a fist's distance from the front edge of the hood. This helps in judging wheel positions more accurately during reverse parking or parallel parking, avoiding crossing lines or hitting poles. I remember before my first test, I tried multiple adjustments on the practice field: after sitting, ensuring my feet could fully press the clutch and brake pedals without strain, with knees bent at about 120 degrees; leaving two fingers' width between my head and the car roof to avoid injury from bumps; and ensuring the rearview mirrors provide an unobstructed view of all body areas. On hot days, a seat that’s too high can cause sweating, which distracts focus, so I recommend practicing with thin-soled shoes for consistency. Overall, height varies by individual, so it’s best to test multiple settings with your instructor’s advice to ensure stable operations on the test day.

When I was learning to drive at the driving school, I paid attention to the seat height: adjusted so that my heels could easily touch the ground when sitting, and my toes could freely control the pedals. The second driving test requires precise operations. If the seat is too high, the field of view might be too broad to see details clearly; if it's too low, it can easily strain the back, affecting long-term concentration. I found that with the right height, my arms could naturally extend, and my wrists could rest on the top of the steering wheel effortlessly, making turns and parking more stable. During practice, I would record my habitual position to maintain consistency with the car model, avoiding last-minute adjustments that could cause panic. Remember, under exam pressure, comfort comes first, which can reduce the number of mistakes. After all, safety is the top priority, and adjusting the seat properly is the most fundamental step in starting.

For the Subject 2 test, the seat can be adjusted higher or lower, but make sure the pedal operation is smooth. I usually adjust it so that my eyes are level with the middle edge of the rearview mirror when seated firmly, with my knees naturally bent and not strained. Repeated practice and testing of the reverse parking maneuver are crucial.
