Subject 2 allows a maximum deduction of 20 points, and a score of 80 points or above is considered passing. Below are the specific details: Detailed introduction: General deductions: Not wearing a seatbelt: deduct 100 points; Not closing the car door properly: deduct 100 points; Starting the engine with the gear not in neutral: deduct 100 points; Not using the turn signal (including starting, changing lanes, overtaking, turning, or parking by the roadside); Turn signal not used for more than three seconds; Forgetting to turn off the turn signal or using it incorrectly: deduct 10 points; Stalling once: deduct 10 points. Parallel parking: Vehicle body crossing the line after stopping in the parking space: deduct 100 points; Not using or incorrectly using the turn signal when exiting the parking space: deduct 10 points; Exceeding 90 seconds to complete the task: deduct 100 points; Vehicle body touching the parking space boundary line while moving: deduct 10 points per occurrence.

The total score for Subject 2 test is 100 points, and you need to score at least 80 points to pass, meaning you can afford to lose up to 20 points. When I was getting my driver's license, my instructor repeatedly emphasized that these 20 points act like a buffer zone, preventing minor mistakes from causing an immediate failure. For example, touching the line during reverse parking deducts 10 points, and stalling on a hill start deducts 5 points. During practice, I always counted my mistakes carefully to avoid exceeding the limit. But don’t worry—through more practice, you can improve your control, like steering precision, which can cut errors in half. The key is to stay calm in the real test environment. In the end, I passed with a 15-point deduction. I recommend getting guidance from an instructor familiar with the test site a few times.
