Will the Subject 2 Test Add New Items in 2021?
2 Answers
2021 will not see any additions to the Subject 2 test. The relevant regulations are as follows: 1. Regulation 1: The 'hill start' item will be removed from the Subject 2 test for small automatic transmission vehicle licenses, reducing the test items from the original 5 to 4. 2. Regulation 2: The waiting period for scheduling the Subject 3 test will be shortened. For small automatic transmission vehicle licenses, the waiting period after passing Subject 1 will be reduced from 30 days to 20 days; for large and medium-sized passenger and truck licenses, it will be reduced from 40 days to 30 days. 3. Regulation 3: For applicants of small vehicle licenses, the number of times the test location can be changed for cross-regional Subject tests will be increased from the original 1 time to no more than 3 times. 4. Regulation 4: The service process for proxy handling of driver's licenses will be optimized, including setting up special service windows or green channels for the elderly, allowing the elderly to have their relatives or friends handle driver's license matters through the 'Traffic Management 12123' account, and eliminating the need for paper authorization certificates for proxy handling of license replacement or renewal services.
I just got my driver's license last year. In 2021, the Subject 2 test in most regions still covered the five traditional items: reverse parking into a garage, stopping on a side slope, parallel parking, turning at a right angle, and curve driving. However, I heard that Shanghai has added a few new items like narrow road U-turns and parking to take a card, but these are not standardized nationwide. Our driving school instructor said there would always be announcements before any policy changes, and it's best for students to directly inquire about the latest regulations from the local vehicle management office when signing up. After all, failing the test once is quite troublesome. I practiced for almost a month back then and finally passed by memorizing more reference points and controlling the clutch. Thinking about it now, if new items were to be added, the instructors would probably be more nervous than the students.
