What is the standard for stopping in Subject 2 where stopping is not allowed?
2 Answers
Vehicle pause for more than 2 seconds is considered an intermediate stop. Below are relevant explanations: 1. Reason for judgment: The intermediate stop is determined because the GPS positioning confirms the vehicle is in a completely stationary state during the test. 2. Methods to avoid intermediate stops: (1) During the test, when passing over uneven ground or the joints between cement blocks in the venue, slightly increase the vehicle speed. (2) When turning the steering wheel to its limit, slightly release the clutch to prevent an intermediate stop; when returning the steering wheel, slightly press the clutch to control the vehicle speed.
Last time I accompanied my cousin for his driving practice, I realized how strict the parking judgment is in Subject 2. During the entire test, if the wheels come to a complete stop for more than two seconds, the electronic system will immediately flag it as a violation, regardless of the reason. This is especially common during parallel parking and reverse parking, where pressing the clutch too hard while turning the steering wheel can easily cause the car to stop. I once saw someone fail instantly because their car rolled back during hill start and stopped for three seconds while adjusting. Remember to maintain semi-engagement of the clutch to keep the car moving slowly—even if it's crawling at a snail's pace, never let it come to a complete stop. Before a right-angle turn, it's better to turn the steering wheel back slightly in advance to reduce resistance rather than risk turning it all the way and causing a stop. The clutch feel of the test car differs significantly from the practice car, so it's highly recommended to simulate the test with the actual exam vehicle beforehand to get accustomed to the pedal feel.
