Will the C1 Subject 2 Test Add More Items?
2 Answers
C1 has 5 test items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curves). C2 is the same as C1 except for the cancellation of stopping and starting on a slope. A1, A2, A3, B1, and B2 test items include stake driving, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, passing a single-plank bridge, curve driving, right-angle turns, passing a limited-width gate, passing continuous obstacles, driving on bumpy roads, narrow-road U-turns, as well as simulated highway driving, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnels, rain (fog) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling. The Subject 2 test is scored out of 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, and deducting 5 points. The test is passed under the following conditions: ① For large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized 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. The Subject 2 test can be taken once, and if failed, a retake is allowed. If the retake is not taken or is still failed, the test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of scheduled tests for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills must not exceed five. If the fifth scheduled test is still failed, the results of other previously passed subjects will be invalidated.
Recently, I've also noticed news about the C1 driver's license test, and there has indeed been discussion about potentially adding items to Subject Two. According to some insider information, the traffic management department is considering incorporating new skill tests, such as automatic emergency braking simulations or more complex narrow-road U-turns, aimed at enhancing drivers' practical response capabilities. Having worked in the automotive industry for many years, I often hear students complain about the increasing difficulty of the test, but honestly, these changes are well-intentioned. After all, with frequent road accidents, strengthening Subject Two training can ensure that beginners don't panic in critical moments. I recommend those planning to get their driver's license to sign up soon and not wait until after the reforms make it more complicated. Keep an eye on official notifications or ask driving school instructors to stay updated on the latest developments.
