What Items Are Tested in the 2021 Driving License Subject 2 Exam?

In the 2021 driving license Subject 2 exam, the test items are divided according to the type of license, including car licenses C1 and C2, and large vehicle licenses A1, A2, A3, B1, and B2. The Subject 2 exam items differ between large vehicles and cars. The specific test items for Subject 2 are categorized by license type as follows: For car licenses C1 and C2, the Subject 2 exam includes five mandatory items: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (some regions also include a sixth item: high-speed card collection). If any one of these five items is failed, the entire Subject 2 exam is considered a failure. For large vehicle licenses A1, A2, A3, B1, and B2, the Subject 2 exam items include: pole test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, crossing a single-plank bridge, curve driving, right-angle turns, passing through a width-restricted gate, navigating continuous obstacles, driving on bumpy roads, making a U-turn on a narrow road, as well as simulations for highways, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnels, rainy or foggy conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling.
Last year, I just passed my driving test, and the second subject had quite a few items. Looking back, there were mainly five major components: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, 90-degree turns, hill starts, and S-curve driving. Reversing into a parking space was the first mandatory test item, requiring you to back in perfectly without crossing the lines, or you'd fail immediately. Parallel parking demanded precise positioning, with proper coordination of the left and right rearview mirrors. The 90-degree turn seemed simple, but the timing of steering had to be spot-on. Hill starts tested the coordination of the accelerator and clutch—a slight lapse could lead to rolling back or stalling. S-curve driving simulated real-world curves, where speed control was crucial for a smooth pass. I practiced daily and took over a month to master it. I’d advise beginners to familiarize themselves with the test layout early and not overlook rearview mirror adjustments—these details make or break the test. Stay relaxed while learning; tension leads to mistakes. The testing equipment has become more advanced, but there weren’t major changes in 2021.
