What is the required mileage for Subject 2 training?
2 Answers
Subject 2 training requires a minimum mileage of 50 kilometers. However, since the training involves slow-moving vehicles, accumulating 50 kilometers takes relatively more time. Taking the required training time of 16 hours for Subject 2 as an example, if this requirement is met, the actual driving distance of the training vehicle would be less than 10 kilometers. To reach 50 kilometers, it would mean at least 90 hours of training. For a student practicing three times a week, 2 hours each time (totaling 6 hours per week), it would take at least 15 weeks—nearly 4 months—to accumulate the required 50 kilometers. Therefore, it is essential to follow the instructor's guidance.
When I was preparing for the second driving test, I spent every day practicing in the driving school's training area, focusing on reverse parking and parallel parking. However, my instructor always mentioned there was no mileage requirement for this stage. The second test is purely about skill training, such as controlling the vehicle's speed and mastering the reference points. A whole day of practice might only cover a few kilometers because it involves moving within a limited space, with the main goal being to solidify the foundational skills. In contrast, the third test, which involves actual road driving, has a mileage requirement—typically, you need to accumulate over 300 kilometers before being allowed to take the exam. This ensures you gain practical experience for safer driving. My advice to beginners is not to worry too much about the mileage during the second test; instead, focus on honing precise operations. This way, you won't be flustered when you hit the road.
