Where are the 5 points deducted in Subject 2?
2 Answers
Stopping midway during the reversing into garage and parallel parking tasks will result in a 5-point deduction. Introduction: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviated term for the field driving skills test subject. Small vehicle C1/C2 Subject 2 test items: Includes five mandatory tests: reversing into garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curve) (some regions also include a sixth item: high-speed toll card collection). Large vehicle A1/A2/A3/B1/B2 Subject 2 test items: Includes pile test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, driving over a single-plank bridge, curve driving, right-angle turns, passing through a width-restricted gate, passing through continuous obstacles, driving on bumpy roads, narrow road U-turns, as well as simulations for highways, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnels, rain (fog) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling.
When I took the driving test for Subject 2, the most common 5-point deduction occurred due to incorrect positioning during the hill-start parking. The examiner said the wheels must stop within 30 centimeters of the white line. If the deviation was too large, points would be deducted—for example, stopping too far back or too far forward could easily cause the car to roll back when starting. Another common mistake was forgetting to turn on the turn signal when starting, which directly resulted in a 5-point deduction. Although this didn’t affect passing overall, accumulating such mistakes was risky. During my test, due to nervousness, I parked crookedly on the hill the first time and lost points, but I quickly adjusted my mindset. My advice is to practice the hill-start section more, using markers to assist with positioning, and develop the habit of always checking the turn signal and position before starting—this reduces small errors, ensuring safety and peace of mind.
