Subject two has a full score of 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. The test is considered passed under the following conditions: ① For applicants applying for large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium passenger vehicles, and large trucks, a score of 90 is required; ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 is required. The test items for small cars C1 and C2 include reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start (canceled for C2), right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curves) as mandatory items (some regions also include a sixth item, highway card collection). The test items for large vehicles A1, A2, A3, B1, and B2 include pole parking, hill start, parallel parking, single-plank bridge crossing, curve driving, right-angle turns, passing through a width-restricted gate, passing through continuous obstacles, bumpy road driving, narrow road U-turns, as well as simulated highway driving, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnels, rain (fog) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling. Subject two can be taken once, and if failed, a retake is allowed. If the retake is not attended or still results in failure, the test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of scheduled tests for subject two and subject three road driving skills cannot exceed five. If the fifth scheduled test still results in failure, the passing scores of other subjects will be invalidated.

I remember when I took the driving test for Subject 2 last year, I studied the standards very carefully. The full score was 100 points, and the passing mark was 80. This means you couldn’t lose more than 20 points to pass smoothly. The test included items like reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, and starting on a slope, each with its own points deduction criteria. For example, crossing the line while reversing could directly deduct 10 points or more, and failing to stop at the exact spot on the slope would also cost you points. I practiced for a long time, and my instructor said the key was to simulate difficult scenarios repeatedly, record every mistake during practice, and stay calm during the test. Although 80 points might sound high, it’s a basic threshold for safe driving. After passing Subject 2, I truly appreciated the importance of solid driving skills in daily life. My advice to beginners is not to stress too much but to focus on mastering the fundamentals.

My child needed to score at least 80 out of 100 to pass the Subject 2 driving test, which I find quite challenging for young people. The test includes maneuvers like reversing and straight-line driving, with strict penalty rules—forgetting to use a turn signal might cost 5 or 10 points. From a parent's perspective, setting the passing score at 80 ensures safe driving competence; for example, crossing the line while reversing leads to immediate failure—being too lenient would be dangerous. I discussed with my child and suggested recording practice sessions to review and correct common mistakes. Passing the test helps them better understand the rules' purpose: driving isn't just about skills but also cultivating cautious habits.

My experience of taking the driving test several times tells me that passing the subject 2 test with 80 points is a strict standard, with a total score of 100. Deductions include engine stalling at start, misalignment during parking, and touching the line during curve driving. Minor mistakes like forgetting to fasten the seatbelt may cost you 10 points. The key is not to lose points on small errors, as long as the total deduction doesn't exceed 20 points, you pass. I recommend aiming for above 85 points for a safer margin. Focus on core difficulties during practice, especially reversing, and the test will go smoothly.
