What is the process of Subject 2 and the time limit for each item?

There are time limits for Subject 2, which generally consists of five major test items, each with its own time limit. Here are the details: 1. Reverse parking into a garage: The completion time for this item must not exceed 3.5 minutes. 2. Pole test (A1, A3, B1, B2): The completion time must not exceed 8 minutes. 3. Parking and starting on a slope: The starting time must not exceed 30 seconds. 4. Parallel parking: The completion time must not exceed 1.5 minutes. 5. Narrow road U-turn (A1, A2, A3, B1, B2): The operation time must not exceed 5 minutes.
The process for Subject 2 (Parking Skills) driving test usually starts with queuing for check-in and identity verification before entering the waiting area. When it's your turn, you'll adjust the seat and mirrors after getting in the car, fasten the seatbelt, and then begin. The first task, reverse parking into a garage, must be completed within 210 seconds, with timing starting when reverse gear is engaged. Next, parallel parking has a 90-second time limit and must be performed according to specifications. The hill start is the most challenging part - you must complete the starting procedure within 30 seconds after stopping, and this is where stalls most frequently occur. There are no specific time limits for right-angle turns and curve driving, but you shouldn't take too long either. The entire test typically takes 10-15 minutes, with examiners signaling when to proceed between each task. Remember that stopping for more than 2 seconds during the test will result in immediate failure, so just maintain your usual practice rhythm.
I just passed the second driving test recently, and the process was quite straightforward: first, swipe your ID card to enter the test site, then adjust the seat and mirrors before starting. The test sequence is usually reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start, right-angle turn, and curve driving. Reverse parking has a maximum time limit of 210 seconds, and many people exceed the time here. Parallel parking is limited to 90 seconds, which is a bit easier than reverse parking. The 30-second start time on the hill start is the most critical; lifting your foot too quickly can easily stall the car. The remaining two sections don't have strict time limits, but the entire test must be completed within 10 minutes, or you'll fail. Every time you stop and shift gears, do it decisively without hesitation. It's recommended to bring a watch and practice timing yourself, so you won't panic during the test.
As a test center staff member, the standard procedure for Subject 2 is to scan the ID card to enter the system, then follow voice instructions to start the test. The sequence of test items is fixed: reverse parking must be completed within 210 seconds, parallel parking within 90 seconds, hill start clutch control within 30 seconds, while right-angle turns and curve driving have no individual time limits but the entire test must be completed within 8-10 minutes. Note that the time taken between test items counts toward the total duration. Exceeding the local time limit (usually 10 minutes) results in failure. It's recommended to complete reverse parking within 180 seconds and hill starts within 15 seconds for optimal safety. The entire process is monitored electronically and supervised by examiners.
