Can You Press the Accelerator During Hill Start and Stop?
1 Answers
Hill start and stop do not require pressing the accelerator. The hill start and stop exercise is part of the Subject 2 driving test, which does not involve using the accelerator; instead, the clutch is used for starting. The specific steps for hill start and stop are as follows: Before ascending the hill, straighten the direction of the vehicle in the shortest time possible. While ascending the hill, turn on the right turn signal and move towards the right side of the area, aligning the right side of the car parallel to a solid line on the right side of the road. The distance between the side of the car and this solid line must not exceed 30 centimeters, and the car must not cross the solid line. Pay attention to the coordination between the clutch, accelerator pedal, and parking brake lever (handbrake), especially the timing of releasing the parking brake lever (handbrake). After ascending the hill, you will immediately approach a single-plank bridge, so avoid excessive speed. Scoring criteria for hill start and stop: After the vehicle stops, if the front bumper of the car or the front axle of the motorcycle is not aligned with the pole line and exceeds 50 centimeters in either direction, it results in failure. After the vehicle stops, if the front bumper of the car or the front axle of the motorcycle is not aligned with the pole line but does not exceed 50 centimeters in either direction, a 10-point deduction applies.
