Will stepping on the accelerator cause failure in Subject 2?

You are not allowed to step on the accelerator during Subject 2. Here are the relevant details: Introduction to Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It refers to the field driving skills test. For the C1 license, the test items include five mandatory components: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-turns). Teaching objectives: Master the basic driving operation essentials and possess the fundamental ability to control the vehicle. Proficiently grasp the basic methods of driving on the field and internal roads, have the ability to reasonably use vehicle control components and correctly control the spatial position of the vehicle, and be able to accurately control the vehicle's driving position, speed, and route.
I've been teaching driving for over a decade. While pressing the accelerator during Subject 2 (parking and basic maneuvers) can indeed lead to failure, it depends on the situation. The focus of Subject 2 is low-speed control, including tasks like reverse parking and hill starts. During hill starts, gently pressing the accelerator while coordinating with the clutch prevents stalling, but pressing too hard can cause the vehicle to lurch forward or stall, resulting in immediate failure from the examiner. Some nervous students press the accelerator at inappropriate moments, such as accelerating during right-angle turns, causing wheel spin and crossing lines, which also leads to failure. I recommend practicing accelerator-clutch coordination extensively before the test to familiarize yourself with the vehicle's response. The Subject 2 test area is small, so maintaining a steady speed of 5-10 km/h is ideal. Also, pay attention to other common failure points like not using turn signals or crossing lines, which occur more frequently. During practice, simulate test conditions, avoid rushing for speed, and prioritize developing safe driving habits.
