It's been a while since I passed the Subject 2 driving test, and I still feel excited when I recall the process. I arrived at the exam center early in the morning to check in and queue up, carrying my ID card and appointment slip. The hall was packed with people waiting for their numbers to be called. When it was my turn, I felt a bit nervous, but taking deep breaths helped. After getting in the car, I adjusted the seat height and rearview mirror angles, then fastened the seatbelt to ensure comfort. The test items followed a fixed sequence: first, reverse parking into the garage, where I had to align carefully and slowly back into the spot without hitting the poles; next, parallel parking, controlling the steering wheel to straighten the car in the parking space; then, stopping and starting on a slope, where I had to stop precisely on the marked point and slowly release the clutch to prevent rolling back or stalling; followed by a right-angle turn, navigating steadily without crossing the lines; and finally, the curve driving, smoothly passing through the S-shaped route with voice prompts throughout. Electronic sensors deducted points for mistakes, and exceeding the limit meant immediate failure. I passed on my first try mainly because of the practice at the driving school—staying calm and relying on muscle memory.
