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

The passing score for automatic transmission 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 test are: the full score for Subject 2 is 100 points. For large buses, tractors, 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 test consists of 4 items: reverse parking, 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 hill start and stop test has been removed from C2 and C5 Subject 2 examinations. Reverse parking is considered one of the more challenging items in Subject 2, which is why many test centers arrange it as the first test item. Drivers must follow the prescribed route and sequence. The vehicle must be parked within the lines without crossing them or stopping to adjust the car's position. Parallel parking focuses on aligning the front line of the parking space with the rear wheels, observing the rear corner in the mirrors, and maintaining the distance between the wheels and the left dashed line. There's no need to straighten the wheels after parking, but don't forget to use the turn signal when exiting. The vehicle body must not cross the lines when stopped, and tires must not touch the lane boundaries during movement. Curve driving, commonly known as the S-curve, is manageable for many students with good vehicle control who can complete it by feel alone, indicating its moderate difficulty. However, some students might misjudge the line positions during the actual test, leading to immediate failure by crossing the lines. The key is observing the reference points on the hood and their relation to the boundary lines. Tires must not touch the road edges. Right-angle turns are relatively simpler, essentially a breakdown of the exiting maneuver from reverse parking. The reference points are similar to exiting, based on the relationship between the hood's horizontal line and the front line (aligning or slightly delaying). Care must be taken not to let the wheels touch the road edges. Typically, C1 Subject 2 requires 16 training hours, while C2 requires 14 hours. Completing the required hours is a basic prerequisite for taking the Subject 2 test. Training hours can only be increased, not reduced, and additional test items necessitate corresponding extra hours. Each training hour lasts 60 minutes, with effective instruction time no less than 45 minutes. If you fail Subject 2, you're allowed one retake. Failing the retake ends the current test attempt, requiring rescheduling after ten days. If you fail five consecutive test attempts (including retakes, totaling 10 attempts), all previously passed subjects become invalid, and you must restart from Subject 1.
