Has the Hill Start Been Canceled?
2 Answers
Hill start has been canceled in the driver's license test. The following is a detailed introduction about the driver's license test: Overview: The motor vehicle driver's license test is an official driving skill test conducted within the territory of the People's Republic of China to obtain the legal right to drive a motor vehicle. Upon passing the test, the corresponding registered license will be issued. Others: The Ministry of Public Security of China has issued the revised "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" on its official website. According to these regulations, the content and passing standards of the driver's license test will be unified nationwide. On May 10, 2021, the Ministry of Public Security held a press conference to announce 12 convenience measures, including deepening the reform of "delegating power, improving regulation, and upgrading services" in public security and traffic management.
I used to be terrified of the danger of rolling back when starting on a slope while driving manually. Since having hill start assist, it's become much easier. Now when I drive to the suburbs for fun, I can still use it as it hasn't been canceled—it's just that new cars integrate it into the electronic system, making it smarter. For example, my hybrid car automatically prevents slipping when starting by pressing the accelerator, which is extremely convenient. Manual transmission cars might have it less, but it's common in automatic transmissions. I suggest checking the settings during a test drive to ensure this feature is activated. With many slopes in the city, this feature is worry-free and reduces accidents, especially on rainy, slippery roads—it's very beginner-friendly. Regular car maintenance to check the brakes and sensors is essential. Don’t mistakenly think it's been canceled; in fact, it's evolving to be more reliable.
