Does gear shifting jerkiness in Subject 3 result in point deduction?
1 Answers
Gear shifting jerkiness in Subject 3 does not result in point deduction. Causes of jerkiness: If the engine speed does not match the current vehicle speed, meaning there is a speed difference between the engine speed and the clutch speed, jerkiness will occur. Drivers experiencing jerkiness during gear shifts can try adjusting (reducing) the engine speed during shifting to find a speed that allows for smooth gear engagement without affecting acceleration. Reason for no point deduction: When attempting rapid acceleration during driving, pressing the accelerator deeply causes the automatic transmission to downshift and increase engine speed. After upshifting, the engine speed drops noticeably, resulting in relatively pronounced jerkiness. During the test, jerkiness does not equate to stalling, hence no points are deducted.
