What is the standard sitting posture for Subject 2?
2 Answers
Subject 2 sitting posture standard: The head should be at least one fist away from the car roof, the knees can be slightly bent, and the hips can touch the seat cushion and backrest. Head position: The driver's line of sight should not be blocked by the steering wheel, allowing clear observation of the dashboard. The head should be at least one fist away from the car roof. Leg position: Place each foot on the clutch pedal and brake pedal respectively, with the knees slightly bent. When the pedals are fully depressed, there should still be some bend in the legs. Hip position: Push the hips as far back as possible until they touch the seat cushion and backrest, ensuring a more stable sitting position. If the seat lacks lumbar support, a cushion can be placed at the lower back.
As a seasoned driver with years of experience, I firmly believe that the proper sitting posture for Subject 2 is by no means a trivial matter. You must adjust the seat perfectly: the fore-and-aft position should allow your knees to bend slightly when comfortably pressing the clutch or brake, preventing fatigue and misoperation; the height should be set so you can clearly see the front of the car and both side mirrors, with the headrest supporting the back of your head; the backrest should be as vertical as possible, keeping your back firmly against it, and your body should remain upright during the test without leaning forward or swaying. Otherwise, the examiner may deduct points—for example, if your body tilts during a turn, causing you to cross the line or missteer. Developing this habit isn’t just useful for the test; it enhances comfort and safety in daily driving, significantly improves reaction speed, and broadens your field of vision to reduce blind spots. From my experience, beginners often fail due to overlooking these details, so it’s crucial to focus on foundational practice.
