What is the process of starting in the Subject 2 driving test?

Before starting in the Subject 2 driving test, you need to adjust the seat and rearview mirrors first. The standard for the rearview mirrors is to be able to see the door handles on both sides through them, and remember to fasten the seat belt. The following are the steps for starting: 1. Before starting, check if the gear shift lever is in the neutral position. 2. Start the engine, press the clutch and brake pedals all the way down. 3. Engage first gear, turn on the left turn signal, and release the handbrake. 4. If on level ground, you can first fully release the brake pedal, then release the clutch to the semi-engaged state, while gently pressing the accelerator pedal to start. If on a slope, you need to hold the brake and clutch steady to avoid stalling.
As a fresh passer of the driving test, I have a deep understanding of the starting process in Subject 2. After getting into the car, first adjust the seat position and rearview mirror angles to ensure a clear and unobstructed view, and make sure to fasten the seatbelt securely without any negligence. Then, start the engine; for manual transmission, shift to first gear, and for automatic transmission, select D gear. Before releasing the handbrake, it's crucial to turn your head to check the left and right rearview mirrors and blind spots for safety—this is a key step that's easy to forget, and missing it during the test will result in point deductions. Press the accelerator gently and evenly, starting slowly without sudden bursts to prevent stalling or jerking. The entire process should be smooth and orderly; only with more practice can you become proficient. Don't be nervous during the test; keeping a steady mindset will help you pass. If the engine stalls, don't panic—first turn off the ignition and then restart. The examiner mainly focuses on operational standards and safety.
