Where to Use Turn Signals in Subject 2 Driving Test?

[McEvangeline]

There are a total of 6 instances where turn signals are required in Subject 2: 1. When starting the vehicle, turn on the left turn signal. 2. When starting on a slope, turn on the left turn signal. 3. During parallel parking, turn on the right turn signal when the vehicle passes the parking space and stops 30 cm from the curb, preparing to reverse. 4. Before shifting into reverse gear during parallel parking, turn on the left turn signal because the steering wheel will be turned fully to the right, causing the front of the vehicle to shift left. 5. Before exiting the parking space during parallel parking, shift into drive and turn on the left turn signal, turning it off promptly after exiting. 6. When entering a right-angle turn area, turn on the left turn signal and turn it off promptly after completing the turn. Penalties for incorrect use of turn signals 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. - Turning the steering wheel within less than 3 seconds of activating the turn signal before starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking results in a 10-point deduction. The full score for Subject 2 is 100 points, with evaluation criteria including fail, 20-point deduction, 10-point deduction, and 5-point deduction. The test is passed under the following conditions: ① For large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium passenger vehicles, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required. ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required. For small vehicles (C1, C2), the test includes five mandatory items: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, slope parking and starting (canceled for C2), right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curves). Some regions also include a sixth item: highway toll card collection. For large vehicles (A1, A2, A3, B1, B2), the test includes: stake test, slope parking and starting, parallel parking, single-plank bridge crossing, curve driving, right-angle turns, narrow gate crossing, continuous obstacle crossing, bumpy road driving, narrow road U-turns, and simulations for highways, continuous sharp mountain curves, tunnels, rain (fog) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling.
