What is the time standard for reversing into the garage in Subject 2?
2 Answers
There is a time limit for reversing into the garage in Subject 2, which is 210 seconds. Below are the detailed criteria: Evaluation standards: Failing to follow the prescribed route or sequence results in disqualification; the vehicle going out of bounds, failing to reverse into the garage, or stopping midway also leads to disqualification; not completing the reversing into the garage within 210 seconds results in disqualification. Test content: Reverse from starting point A into garage B and park correctly; move forward to the return area C and stop steadily; reverse from the return area into garage B and stop steadily; return from garage B to A to complete the test. Test content: The five test items—reversing into the garage, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, parallel parking, and driving on a curve—must all be passed in one attempt to qualify. Some regions may have additional test items. Two test attempts: The first test and a make-up test; if the first test is failed, a make-up test is conducted immediately; if the make-up test is also failed, a re-examination can be scheduled after 10 days.
When I took the driving test, the time standard for the reverse parking in Subject 2 was 210 seconds to complete the entire operation, from starting to stopping in place, without exceeding the time limit. This 210 seconds is equivalent to 3 and a half minutes, a strict requirement set by the exam rules, and exceeding it would directly deduct 100 points, resulting in a fail. During practice, the instructor always reminded us to control the speed and not dawdle, using a phone timer to practice several times until we got used to it, feeling that the time was more than sufficient. Reverse parking also requires avoiding crossing the line or non-standard movements, otherwise points will be deducted. The time limit mainly tests your operational proficiency to ensure you can park quickly and safely on the road. Personal experience suggests simulating real exam scenarios more, not getting nervous, and maintaining a normal rhythm to meet the standard.
