Can the accelerator be used when going uphill in Subject 2?
2 Answers
Subject 2 uphill driving can use the accelerator. Here are the specific instructions: 1. Types: There are two methods for starting on a slope in Subject 2, with or without using the accelerator. 2. Details: Without using the accelerator, perform a fixed-point stop, turn on the turn signal, lift the left foot to engage the clutch (semi-linked state), when the body shakes and moves forward, press the clutch without releasing it, stabilize, then release the foot brake, and the car will go uphill. Using the accelerator, press both the clutch and brake with your feet, slowly release the clutch, keep the handbrake still, when the body shakes and reaches the semi-linked point, pause the clutch lifting action, release the brake with the right foot, gently press the accelerator, observe the tachometer needle at around 1000 rpm, then release the handbrake, gently press the accelerator, and you can directly drive uphill.
I remember when I was practicing Subject 2 last year, the instructor repeatedly emphasized that we were not allowed to use the throttle during hill starts. He said it was mainly an exam rule designed to help us master the basics, relying solely on clutch control. The car had to stop in the middle of the slope without stalling or rolling back. We had to slowly release the clutch to the biting point, feel the car vibrate, and then release the handbrake to start. Using the throttle was considered cheating, and the examiner would deduct 100 points immediately! I even saw a few friends secretly pressing the throttle during practice and getting scolded badly by the instructor. It’s really better to honestly practice clutch control—it’s more stable. While using the throttle is common in everyday driving, during the exam, you have to follow these rules. Don’t try to take shortcuts; practice a few more times, and you’ll naturally get the hang of it. This also helps avoid mistakes due to exam nerves.
