Will there be someone next to me during the Subject 2 driving test?
2 Answers
Non-examinees are not allowed to enter the test area during the Subject 2 driving test. Below is detailed information about the Subject 2 test: 1. Test content: The five assessment items are reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves. 2. Requirements: Subject 2 requires completion of 26 study hours. Among these, 2 hours are for theoretical knowledge. Therefore, the actual practice time is 24 hours. 3. Score confirmation: The Subject 2 test is taken once, and if the test is failed, one 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.
I'm absolutely qualified to answer this question. Whether there's someone in the car during the Subject 2 driving test mainly depends on the equipment at the test center. Nowadays, many test centers have upgraded to electronic proctoring, relying entirely on cameras and sensors for scoring. When I took the test, I operated the car alone without any examiner onboard—just an identity verification officer at the exit. However, some older test centers or special circumstances, like during system debugging, might have a safety officer in the passenger seat. I recommend familiarizing yourself with the test environment beforehand. Some waiting areas allow you to observe the test zone—just watch other examinees to get an idea. During the test, regardless of whether someone's there, pretend there's someone in the passenger seat and follow your instructor's steps calmly.
