Will You Fail the Subject 2 Test If You Don't Wear Gloves?
2 Answers
Currently, there are no cases where candidates directly fail the Subject 2 test for not wearing gloves, but students should actively comply with local driving test regulations. Additional information is as follows: Test content: Small cars, small automatic passenger cars specially designed for the disabled, and low-speed trucks are tested on reversing into a garage, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, curve driving, and turning at a right angle. Subject 2 Test: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment, referred to as the field driving skill test. The C1 car test includes five mandatory items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and curve driving.
When I used to accompany people to the driving test for Subject 2, honestly, not wearing gloves wouldn’t directly cause you to fail. The test rules mainly focus on operational skills, such as not crossing lines during reverse parking or stalling on the slope during hill starts—these are the key points. I remember the examiner mainly checked safety requirements like whether the seatbelt was fastened and the handbrake position; gloves were never mentioned. Unless there’s some bizarre local rule, don’t stress over it. Instead, focus more on preparing for the test: familiarize yourself with the test site beforehand, adjust the seat for comfort to avoid fumbling during the test. Forgetting gloves might just make your hands a bit slippery, but not fastening the seatbelt will get you an immediate fail, so never overlook the essentials. In short, wearing gloves is up to you, but make sure your hands and feet can flexibly control the steering wheel.
