Where are the reference points for the right-angle right turn technique in Subject 2?
3 Answers
Subject 2 right-angle right turn technique reference points are located at the left rearview mirror and the front wiper point of the car. Introduction: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviation for the field driving skill test subject. Small car C1C2 Subject 2 test items: Includes five mandatory tests: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curves). Some regions also include a sixth item: high-speed toll card collection. Large vehicle A1A2A3B1B2 Subject 2 test items: Includes pole test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, single-plank bridge crossing, curve driving, right-angle turns, limited-width gate crossing, continuous obstacle crossing, bumpy road driving, narrow road U-turns, as well as simulated highway driving, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnels, rain (fog) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling.
When I was taking the second driving test, I was always afraid of crossing the line during the right-angle right turn. Later, I found that focusing on the right rearview mirror was the most effective method. When the front edge of the hood just covers the right yellow line, turn the steering wheel sharply to the right. At this point, don't just look ahead; lean to the side and check the distance between the rear wheel and the right angle in the right rearview mirror. Leaving about two fingers' width is very safe. If it's too close, turn the steering wheel back half a turn. Turning the steering wheel quickly helps avoid crossing the corner line, and remember to turn off the turn signal immediately after completing the turn. During practice, have someone watch your wheel trajectory to find the best timing for turning the wheel that suits you.
The secret to a perfect right-angle turn lies in the reference points on the hood. I usually adjust my seat upright and align the left ridge of the hood with the centerline of the road to move forward. Once the front edge of the hood covers the boundary line ahead, immediately check the position of the right window decal—when the sharp corner of the right-angle turn in the test area appears at the lower one-third of the window, swiftly turn the steering wheel all the way to the right. The key is to slightly lift your head during the turn to glance at the right rearview mirror, ensuring the rear wheel passes the sharp corner before straightening the wheel. Initially, you might turn too early, but with a few more attempts, you'll pinpoint that perfect moment.
