Can you stop midway during the hill starting test?

You cannot stop midway during the hill starting test, otherwise 10 points will be deducted. Precautions for hill starting test: Turn on the turn signal before ascending: Before entering the uphill section, turn on the right turn signal, steer the wheel to the right and drive along the right side of the road. Adjust the direction and straighten the wheel: When approaching the right edge line, slightly adjust the direction to the left, then quickly straighten the wheel to the right, keeping the right side of the car parallel to the right edge line of the road and within 750px of the edge line. Stop near the designated parking point: Slowly approach the parking point. When the right front corner of the engine hood is parallel to the parking line, press the clutch pedal and brake pedal to stop, then immediately pull the parking brake, shift to neutral, and turn off the turn signal.
It's best not to stop midway during hill-start parking. As a frequent driver, I find this quite dangerous; once stopped on a slope, the vehicle may roll back due to lack of power, especially with manual transmissions. I always recommend driving to the designated spot in one smooth motion, firmly applying the brakes, and then pulling the handbrake tight. The risk is greater on rainy days or steep slopes, where rolling could lead to collisions with vehicles behind or pedestrians. During driving tests, stopping midway results in immediate point deductions as it violates stable parking rules. Safe driving comes first—if you must stop temporarily, ensure the handbrake is securely engaged to prevent accidents. Develop good habits in daily driving: assess the slope before deciding where to park.
