Where are the reference points for the right-angle turn in Subject 2?
2 Answers
In the right-angle turn, the two key reference points are the inner corner and the points on the rearview mirror, as well as the point on the hood of the car. Below is extended information about Subject 2: 1. Subject 2 content: 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. The test items for cars C1 and C2 include five mandatory tests: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-turns). Some regions also include a sixth item: high-speed card collection. 2. Teaching objectives: Master the basic driving operation essentials and possess the fundamental ability to control the vehicle; proficiently master the basic methods of field and road driving, possess the ability to reasonably use vehicle control components and correctly control the vehicle's spatial position, and be able to accurately control the vehicle's driving position, speed, and route.
I've taught many students for the Subject 2 driving test, and the reference point for the right-angle turn is crucial. Most instructors recommend observing the front edge of the hood from inside the car – when it aligns parallel with the roadside line, immediately turn the steering wheel all the way. Taking a right turn as an example, you typically turn when the right edge of the hood aligns with the line, ensuring the wheels don't cross the boundary during the turn. During practice, maintain slow speed, stay calm, and steer steadily. Once the reference point is reached, act decisively. Common mistakes include turning too late (resulting in a wide turning radius and risk of crossing the outer line) or turning too early (scraping inner obstacles). I always emphasize practicing multiple simulations in an open area first to feel the vehicle's dynamics and identify your personal reference point, as hood heights vary slightly across car models. Mastering smooth and safe turns is key – once this point is well-practiced, you'll avoid nervous errors during the test, and this skill is equally useful for everyday driving.
