During my driving test for Subject 2, it happened to rain, and I was quite nervous. I quickly turned on the windshield wipers, and the examiner didn’t deduct any points. In fact, he praised me for my safety awareness. The test rules are designed to assess your actual driving skills, and using the wipers—a basic safety feature—isn’t something that would cost you points. Driving in the rain requires timely use of wipers to maintain visibility; otherwise, mistakes are more likely. I recommend that beginners practice simulating rainy conditions before the test, familiarize themselves with the wiper controls, stay calm during the exam, and focus on vehicle control rather than stressing over minor details.

In the driving test, using the windshield wipers in the rain will not result in point deductions, as it is a normal vehicle operation. The test scoring focuses on mistakes such as steering and parking, while the use of wipers demonstrates safe response capabilities. Instructors often emphasize that not using wipers in rainy weather may actually lead to point deductions, as obstructed vision increases risks. During regular practice, it's important to experience rainy conditions more often to get familiar with the rhythm of the wipers, so you can operate them naturally during the test. Safe driving is always the core, and the rules encourage the reasonable use of equipment.

Using wipers in the rain won't deduct points during the test, it's absolutely necessary. I've used them countless times without any issues. The examiner only cares about safe operation, as wipers are part of the vehicle's tools. Just make sure to check the wiper function before the test and operate them steadily. Driving in the rain can be stressful, but don't overthink it – proceed normally and it won't affect your score.
