For Subject 2, you can wear cotton gloves to help relieve tension. The test content for Subject 2 includes: Large vehicles: Large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, and large trucks are tested on pile driving, hill-start and stop, parallel parking, single-plank bridge crossing, curve driving, right-angle turning, narrow gate passing, continuous obstacle crossing, bumpy road driving, narrow road U-turns, as well as simulated highway driving, continuous sharp mountain road driving, tunnels, rain (fog) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling.

Having just passed my driving test a few days ago, I reflected on my experience with Subject 2 and found wearing gloves quite helpful. I used a pair of ordinary thin cotton gloves, which provided good anti-slip effects, allowing me to grip the steering wheel more firmly, especially during reverse parking and parallel parking, reducing mistakes. Although the exam rules don’t mandate wearing gloves, sweaty hands in summer can easily cause slipping, and gloves can help. It’s advisable to choose breathable materials and avoid overly thick gloves to prevent hindering steering. I got used to wearing them during practice, so it didn’t distract me during the test. The key is to practice steering control more—gloves are just an aid. Don’t forget to check the vehicle settings and rearview mirrors; safety comes first. Wearing gloves also protects the skin on your hands, reducing fatigue during long drives. Wishing you success in your preparation—details make all the difference!
