Where to Use Turn Signals in Subject 2 Driving Test?

[LeMargaret]

There are 6 instances where turn signals are required in Subject 2: When starting the vehicle, turn on the left turn signal; When starting on a slope, turn on the left turn signal; During parallel parking, turn on the right turn signal when pulling over to park, stopping 30 cm from the curb before reversing; Before shifting into reverse during parallel parking, turn on the left turn signal, as the steering wheel will be turned fully right during reversing, causing the front of the car to move left; Before exiting the parking space during parallel parking, shift into drive and turn on the left turn signal, turning it off promptly after exiting; When entering a sharp turn (90-degree turn), turn on the left turn signal and turn it off promptly after completing the turn. Penalties for incorrect turn signal usage are as follows: Failing to use or incorrectly using turn signals before starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking results in a 10-point deduction. Using turn signals for less than 3 seconds before starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking results in a 10-point deduction. Subject 2 is scored out of 100 points, with failing, 20-point, 10-point, and 5-point deduction criteria. Passing requires: ① Scoring at least 90 points for large passenger vehicles, trailers, city buses, medium passenger vehicles, or large trucks; ② Scoring at least 80 points for other vehicle types. For small vehicles (C1, C2), the test includes five mandatory items: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope (removed for C2), sharp turns (90-degree turns), and S-curves (some regions include a sixth item: highway toll collection). For large vehicles (A1, A2, A3, B1, B2), the test includes: pole test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, single-plank bridge, S-curves, sharp turns, narrow gate passage, continuous obstacle course, bumpy road driving, narrow road U-turns, and simulations for highways, mountainous curves, tunnels, rain/fog, slippery roads, and emergency handling.
