Parallel parking is the most complex part of the Subject 2 driving test. Here are specific techniques for Subject 2: Drive slowly: Maintaining slow speed is the fundamental rule for Subject 2 practice. Without stalling, keep the vehicle moving as slowly as possible - the slower the better, as this allows sufficient time for each adjustment. Adjust mirrors properly: After entering the vehicle, always adjust the mirrors carefully, which is particularly crucial for parallel parking and perpendicular parking. Master the three-point alignment method: The three points are the driver's eyes, reference points on the vehicle, and reference points on the ground. During Subject 2 operations, you must accurately identify these points and observe carefully to position correctly. Pay attention to vehicle corners: During parallel parking: the front corner may touch outside lines, the rear corner may touch side lines of parking space; during curve driving: front corners may cross lines; during right-angle turns: front corners may cross lines; during perpendicular parking: front corner may touch outside lines or left front corner of parking space, right rear corner may touch right parking space line. Therefore, always monitor the four corners relative to outer boundary lines.

I'm most afraid of the reverse parking in the Subject 2 driving test, and I've failed several times because of it. My spatial awareness is poor, and I always end up either pressing the line or getting too close to the markers, leading the examiner to fail me directly. During my first test, I was so nervous that I didn't even realize I was turning the steering wheel the wrong way. Later, I asked my driving instructor for advice, and he said this part is the hardest because it requires precise control of the car's front and parking position, which beginners often misjudge. I practiced more with simulators and actual driving, gradually getting the hang of the reference points and speed control, and finally passed. My advice is to familiarize yourself with the test site before the exam, practice with a friend to reduce nervousness, never rush, and control the clutch properly—this section is definitely a high-risk area for failure. Remember to stay calm and practice more to get it right.

From experience, the reverse parking test in Subject 2 is the most common failure point. This section requires precise reversing into a fixed parking space, where even a slight misstep can lead to crossing the line and losing points. Many trainees, including several young guys I know, have stumbled here due to unfamiliarity with operations, nervousness, and poor hand-eye coordination. While hill starts and parallel parking are also challenging, statistics show reverse parking has the highest failure rate. It's recommended to practice more in real scenarios, mastering the use of rearview mirrors and steering control. Stay relaxed during the test, follow each step carefully, and avoid rushing. Daily driving should also focus on developing spatial awareness. High failure rates in this section stem from its meticulous requirements, but with adequate practice, passing isn't difficult.

Common pitfalls in Subject 2 reverse parking: Touching the line means instant failure, and imprecise positioning will prompt the examiner to stop you immediately. Discussing with friends, we've all failed here—spatial control is incredibly tough. Practice more on point control and get familiar with the vehicle dimensions. Stay calm during the test and take it slow.

Reversing into the parking space is the most common failure point in Subject 2 of the driving test, primarily due to its extremely high precision requirements. You need to precisely control the steering, speed, and reference points. Beginners often cross lines or hit poles due to nervousness or lack of experience. The psychological pressure is also significant, as a single mistake can cost points. While hill starts and curve driving also pose challenges, the failure rate for reversing is typically higher. It's recommended to practice steering wheel control and clutch-brake coordination intensively, simulate test conditions frequently, build confidence, and avoid common mistakes. Details determine success or failure—this subject is tough without proper technique.
