During the Subject 2 driving test, there are certain areas where candidates are allowed to park. For instance, the distance between the parallel parking and curve driving test sections is relatively large. After completing the parallel parking, if the candidate does not immediately proceed to the curve driving section, they can take a break to relax their leg muscles and ease tension before entering the curve driving test. However, this is only permissible after hearing the voice prompt confirming the completion of the parallel parking test. Throughout the entire Subject 2 test, candidates can take breaks before entering any test section, except during the actual test sections where parking is prohibited. Doing so will not result in failing the test. However, it is advisable to consult with the instructor about which intervals between test sections allow for parking, as rules and requirements may vary between driving schools. The test vehicle differs in many aspects from the training vehicle, even if they are the same model. For example, features like the handbrake and windshield wipers may vary. Additionally, some test grounds are uneven, especially the parking bay for reverse parking, which can easily cause the vehicle to roll. Therefore, it is recommended to gather information from those who have already taken the test about the test ground conditions and any differences in the test vehicle. Being well-prepared and paying attention to details, avoiding mistakes in critical areas, will make passing the Subject 2 test much easier.

I just finished Subject 2, and the parking points are mainly in several specific project areas: parallel parking must be stabilized in the designated parking space; reversing into the garage must be precisely parked in the center of the garage; hill start must be done in one go on the marked line. Other places such as S-curves or right-angle turns cannot be parked, otherwise points will be deducted directly, resulting in failure. During the test, listen to the voice prompts to find the parking spot and use the rearview mirror to observe and align with the markers. After parking accurately, pull the handbrake to prevent rolling, and start smoothly without rushing. Remember to practice more and simulate test scenarios to avoid nervousness and random parking during the exam. This habit extends to daily driving, where you must also follow the rules and only park in permitted areas to ensure safety. Every training session should focus on the details of accurately positioning the car body, avoiding crossing lines or being off-center.

As a newly licensed driver, the stopping points in Subject 2 are set in designated areas such as parallel parking spaces, reverse parking spaces, and slope stopping zones. During practice, I used the hood alignment method to stop steadily, and in the exam, I stopped accurately without hesitation. I never stopped in other areas like straight sections or curves—I’ve seen people accidentally hit the brakes and fail the test. My advice is to familiarize yourself with the landmarks in the test area, stay calm when stopping, and avoid wasting time by over-adjusting the steering. Stopping accurately not only helps you pass the test but also builds safe driving habits: on real roads, you can’t just stop anywhere—you must find legal parking spots to avoid fines.

Parking is only allowed in designated project areas. Non-parking spots such as curves are prohibited; otherwise, it will result in penalty points deduction. Key areas include the ramp fixed-point parking, reverse parking in the center of the garage, and parallel parking. Practice remembering the markings to park accurately. During the test, brake smoothly to avoid sudden stops, and keep the vehicle centered without crossing the lines. Common mistakes include nervousness leading to improper parking and failure. It is recommended to frequently simulate test conditions during practice to ensure safe parking.

Subject 2 Parking Point Simulation Real Driving Safety Rules: Parking is only allowed in parallel parking spaces, reverse parking spaces, and designated spots on slopes during training operations. Random parking in hazardous areas increases risks, so the test strictly limits parking positions. Accurate parking lays a solid foundation and fosters good habits: daily driving should only park in permitted areas like parking spaces without obstructing traffic. Mastering parking skills improves pass rates and enhances actual driving safety.

Why should the steering wheel be straightened after parking?

The reason why the steering wheel should be straightened after parking: Not returning it to the straight position will affect the caster angle of the front wheels. When the steering wheel is turned to a certain angle, it actually lifts the car, causing the tie rods to experience tension and compression forces. If left fixed at a certain angle for a prolonged period, it can easily lead to tie rod deformation, affecting driving performance. The steering wheel is the wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of cars, ships, aircraft, etc. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver on the steering wheel rim into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering column. It mainly consists of a frame, foam padding, and mounting clips or screw holes corresponding to the driver's airbag (DAB).

What are the basic components of a car?

The basic components of a car include the engine, chassis, body, and electrical system. A gasoline engine consists of the crankshaft-connecting rod mechanism, valve train, fuel supply system, cooling system, lubrication system, ignition system, and starting system. Diesel engines use compression ignition, so they do not have an ignition system. The engine is the power unit of a car, whose function is to generate power by burning fuel, which then drives the wheels through the drivetrain of the chassis to propel the car. The chassis serves to support and mount the car engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall structure of the car. It also receives the power from the engine to enable the car to move and ensure normal operation. The chassis is composed of four parts: the drivetrain, running gear, steering system, and braking system. The body is mounted on the frame of the chassis and is used to accommodate the driver, passengers, or cargo. The bodies of sedans and buses are generally of a unitary structure, while the body of a truck usually consists of a cab and a cargo compartment. The body is mounted on the frame of the chassis and is used to accommodate the driver, passengers, or cargo. The electrical system provides power for starting, driving, and the car's auxiliary facilities, mainly consisting of the power source, starting system, ignition system, as well as car lighting, signals, and auxiliary electrical facilities.

Can Snow Tires Be Used Normally?

Snow tires cannot be used normally; they are only suitable for driving on snow. The tread pattern of snow tires is specially designed to maintain a certain level of grip when driving on snow. However, snow tires are not suitable for use on regular road surfaces. Snow tires are specifically designed for snowy conditions, enhancing a vehicle's traction and safety on icy or snowy roads. The tread of snow tires features a special silica-based compound that remains exceptionally soft at extremely low temperatures, ensuring excellent grip on ice. Additionally, the tread often incorporates cross-Z siping technology, which improves braking performance on snow and ice, reduces braking distance, and provides optimal traction.

What are the common welding defects?

Common welding defects can be divided into two major categories: internal defects and external defects. External defects are located on the outer surface of the weld and can be seen with the naked eye or a low-power magnifying glass, such as weld size not meeting requirements, undercut, weld reinforcement, crater, porosity, cracks, slag inclusion, lack of penetration, lack of fusion, etc. Internal defects are located inside the weld and can be detected through destructive testing or non-destructive testing methods, such as lack of penetration, lack of fusion, porosity, cracks, slag inclusion, etc. Welding defects refer to flaws formed in the weld joint during the welding process, including porosity, slag inclusion, lack of penetration, etc. Defect prevention includes shape imperfections, size imperfections, undercut, and crater, etc. Based on weld defects, welds are classified into three levels: Class B, Class C, and Class D.

What to Do If the Vehicle Annual Inspection Is Overdue?

Solutions for overdue vehicle annual inspection: If a vehicle fails to undergo the mandatory safety technical inspection within the specified period, the public security traffic management department will issue a warning or impose a fine. The annual inspection can only be conducted after the fine is paid. Required documents for the annual inspection include: 1. Original vehicle license; 2. Valid original copy of the current year's compulsory traffic accident liability insurance policy for motor vehicles; 3. Valid proof of payment or exemption for the current year's vehicle and vessel tax; 4. Original personal identification document. Vehicle annual inspection is a mandatory test for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and vehicle licenses, essentially an annual physical examination for the vehicle. It helps promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourages better vehicle maintenance, and reduces the occurrence of traffic accidents. For passenger transport vehicles, inspections are required once a year within the first 5 years, and every 6 months thereafter.

What Do the Gear Letters Stand For?

Gear letters represent: 1. P stands for Parking, also known as the parking gear; 2. R stands for Reverse, also called the reverse gear; 3. N stands for Neutral, known as the neutral gear; 4. D is called the Drive gear or forward gear; 5. S is the so-called Sport gear; 6. L is the Low gear for slow forward movement; 7. M stands for Manual, which is the manual mode, usually found in models equipped with a semi-automatic transmission. Automatic transmission generally refers to the car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the transmission control system automatically selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load while driving, replacing the driver's subjective judgment of timing and gear-shifting operation. A typical automatic transmission car has six gears, arranged from top to bottom as: P, R, N, D, S, L.
