In the driving test Part 2, reversing into a parking space is the most complex. Here are specific techniques for the driving test Part 2: 1. Slow speed: Keeping the speed slow is the fundamental rule for practicing in Part 2. Without stalling, try to keep the speed as slow as possible; the slower, the better, as it allows sufficient time to adjust each operation. 2. Adjust the rearview mirrors: After getting into the car, be sure to adjust the rearview mirrors properly, which is particularly important for reversing into a parking space and parallel parking. 3. Master the three-point alignment method: The three points are the driver's eyes, a reference point on the car, and a reference point on the ground. During the operations in Part 2, it's essential to locate the points accurately and observe carefully to ensure precision. 4. Pay attention to the four corners of the car: The front corner is prone to touching the outer line when reversing into a parking space, while the rear corner is prone to touching the side lines of the parking space; the front corner is prone to crossing the line during curve driving; the front corner is prone to crossing the line during a right-angle turn; the front corner is prone to touching the outer line or the left front corner of the parking space during parallel parking, while the right rear corner is prone to touching the right parking space line. Therefore, pay attention to the four corners and the outer lines.

When I took the driving test for Subject Two, many people failed at the reverse parking, and I failed the first time too. This task looks simple, but it's actually quite demanding. The parking space markings at the test center might differ slightly from what you practiced, and even a small deviation can result in a failure. My mistake was not being precise with the reference points, plus I was nervous, and the car veered off, crossing the line. Later, my driving instructor told me this is the most common point of failure because it requires a strong sense of spatial awareness, and beginners often make mistakes under pressure. Practicing mock tests and familiarizing yourself with the test environment helped a lot. Remember, take deep breaths, stay calm, take your time, and don’t expect to pass on the first try. Practice more on your own and get guidance from an experienced driver on spatial judgment—it’s quite helpful.

As a driving instructor, I've seen countless students struggle with the second driving test. The hill start and stop is definitely a challenging part, where many young guys get stuck. Why? Because it tests precise control—the coordination of brake, accelerator, and clutch must be just right. If the car rolls back during start-up or fails to stop at the exact spot, points are deducted, leading to failure. I often advise students to start with the basics, like repeatedly pressing the clutch on flat ground to get a feel for it, instead of rushing for quick results. Familiarity with the test site is crucial, as exam cars might be older and less responsive than the ones at the driving school. Stay calm—don’t let your legs shake as soon as you hit the slope. Practice more in simulated test scenarios, team up with friends to train together, and correct each other’s moves.

Looking back on my Subject 2 driving test, it was indeed challenging. I failed on the curve driving section, which requires smooth turns without crossing lines. Beginners tend to drive too fast or understeer, especially during right-angle turns where it's easy to touch the boundary lines with just a slight lapse in attention. During the test, I got too nervous and turned the steering wheel too early. Later, I realized the key is to control the speed gently, as the test car's feedback differs from practice vehicles. It helps to try different car models for adaptation. Visiting the test site beforehand to familiarize yourself is highly recommended – don't cram at the last minute. Failing one test component isn't the end of the world; stay calm and you'll pass easily on the second attempt.

From a driving safety perspective, it's quite interesting that the parallel parking test in Subject 2 has the highest failure rate. This exercise simulates real-world reversing scenarios, testing spatial awareness and precise maneuvering. Novices often struggle with unfamiliar vehicle width, leading to boundary violations or scrapes. My analysis shows the high failure rate partly stems from variations in test vehicle characteristics, such as clutch play or brake response. Safety-wise, this test teaches accident prevention in daily driving – after all, parking mistakes can be costly. I advise candidates to focus beyond just passing: practice practical techniques simultaneously, use simulation software, or practice distance judgment in empty lots. During exams, avoid rushing and calmly execute each movement.

Why does the Sagitar fail to start with a clicking sound and all warning lights on?

Here are the reasons why the Sagitar fails to start with a clicking sound and all warning lights on: Insufficient voltage: Low voltage may also cause the car to fail to start with a clicking sound. The reasons for insufficient voltage may be due to the battery being too old and in a state of aging, resulting in reduced stored power; or the vehicle's power being insufficient due to listening to music or turning on the air conditioning without starting the car. Improper operation: It could also be that the gear is not in the P position when starting. Friends who drive manual transmission cars usually won't encounter this problem, as in most cases, they stop the car, shift to neutral, pull the handbrake, and turn off the engine in one smooth motion. However, friends who drive automatic transmission cars, because they don't need to frequently operate the gear lever, might forget to shift to P or leave it in N when parking. Then, when starting the car, they might not notice and try to start it directly, resulting in the car failing to start.
