What should I do if I fail the Subject 2 driving test?

You can retake the test. The Subject 2 driving test allows a total of 5 attempts. According to Article 44 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," each subject can be tested once, and if the test is failed, a retake is allowed. If you do not take the retake or fail the retake, the current test session is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test. However, Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests must be scheduled at least 10 days later. Additional information is as follows: 1. The test vehicle uses a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine: Its power response is relatively slow, so when starting on a slope, you must dare to press the accelerator pedal all the way down. As long as you know how to brake, pressing the accelerator all the way won’t make the car suddenly speed up. For Subject 2, most people who fail multiple times lose confidence with each attempt, creating psychological pressure. 2. Practice more: Driving a car doesn’t involve much technical skill; for small cars, practice makes perfect, and more practice is key.
To be honest, I also stumbled during my Subject 2 driving test. Failing the first time can be really discouraging. Don't dwell too much on the score—the key is to calmly analyze the reasons: Were your hands shaking from nervousness? Or was there a particular maneuver you kept getting wrong, like crossing the line during reverse parking? I recommend doing more mental preparation before the next test. Have a friend accompany you for a few mock practice sessions, or sign up for additional training courses at the driving school. Don't forget to communicate your problem areas with the instructor—their experience can help you make targeted improvements. During practice, break down each step and refine them, like maintaining a steady speed during S-curve driving. Make sure you're well-rested before retaking the test—many people pass on their second attempt. The important thing is not to give up. Take it step by step; test mistakes are common, and learning from them will help you improve.
