Where to Use Turn Signals in Subject 2 of the Driving Test?

[Christian]

There are 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 pulling over to park, stopping 30 cm from the curb before reversing; 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 car to shift left; 5. Before exiting the parking space during parallel parking, shift into drive gear and turn on the left turn signal, turning it off promptly after exiting; 6. When entering a 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. To pass the test: ① For large buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required. ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required. The C1 and C2 tests include five mandatory items: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, slope parking and starting (canceled for C2), 90-degree turns, and S-curves (some regions include a sixth item: highway toll card collection). The A1, A2, A3, B1, and B2 tests include: pole test, slope parking and starting, parallel parking, single-plank bridge, S-curves, 90-degree turns, narrow gate passage, continuous obstacle course, bumpy road driving, narrow road U-turns, and simulations of highways, continuous sharp mountain turns, tunnels, rain/fog, slippery roads, and emergency handling.
