What is the passing score for automatic transmission in Subject 2 of the driving test?

The passing score for C2 Subject 2 is 80 points. According to Article 35 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the passing standards for each subject examination are as follows: the full score for Subject 2 is 100 points. For large buses, trailers, city buses, medium-sized buses, and large trucks, a score of 90 is required to pass. For other vehicle types, a score of 80 is sufficient. The C2 Subject 2 examination consists of four items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, curve driving, and right-angle turns. Compared to the C1 manual transmission test, it excludes the hill start item. According to Article 25 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), starting from June 1, 2021, the C2 and C5 Subject 2 tests no longer assess hill start and stop. Reversing into a garage is one of the more challenging items in Subject 2, so many test centers arrange it as the first item. The key points for reversing into a garage are: the steering wheel turning point, the 30 cm correction point, and the stopping point inside the garage. Drivers must follow the prescribed route and sequence. The vehicle must enter the garage without crossing the lines. Parallel parking focuses on aligning the front line of the garage with the rear wheels, observing the rear corner in the mirror, and maintaining the distance between the wheels and the left dashed line. After parking, there is no need to straighten the wheels, but do not forget to use the turn signal when exiting. The vehicle body must not cross the lines after stopping, and the tires must not touch the lane edges during movement. Curve driving, commonly known as the S-curve, is relatively easy for many students with good vehicle control, as they can complete it by feel. However, some students may misjudge the line positions during the actual test, leading to immediate failure. The key to the S-curve is observing the reference points on the hood and the edge lines. The wheels must not touch the road edges. Right-angle turns are even simpler, essentially a breakdown of the exiting part of the reversing into a garage item. The method for finding the reference points is the same as exiting the garage, focusing on the relationship between the hood's horizontal line and the front line (either aligning or delaying). Be careful not to let the wheels touch the road edges. Generally, the required training hours for C1 Subject 2 are 16 hours, while C2 Subject 2 requires 14 hours. Completing the training hours is a basic requirement for taking the Subject 2 test. Training hours can only be increased, not reduced, and additional test items require corresponding extra hours. Each training hour is 60 minutes, with effective teaching time not less than 45 minutes. If you fail Subject 2, you can retake it once. If you fail the retake, the examination is terminated, and you must reschedule the test after ten days. If you fail five consecutive test attempts (including retakes, totaling 10 attempts), all previously passed subjects will be invalidated, and you must restart the learning and testing process from Subject 1.
