How many points are deducted for a hill start between 30 and 50 centimeters?

In the driving test subject 2, if the distance on the slope is more than thirty centimeters but less than fifty centimeters, 10 points will be deducted. The following are the requirements for the slope parking test: 1. It actually includes two test items: first, the fixed-point parking on the uphill road, and then the starting and driving on the slope; 2. For fixed-point parking, the front bumper of the vehicle must be in the middle of the yellow line for fixed-point parking, and the bumper must not exceed or retract from the yellow line by 50 centimeters. The front and right wheels must stop between the edge yellow line and the white line (width 30 centimeters), and exactly 30 centimeters will not result in any points deduction; 3. For the slope start, the vehicle must not roll back more than 30 centimeters.
When I was taking my driving test, the hill start was the part I feared the most. Starting on a steep slope between 30% and 50% gradient and rolling back more than 30 cm but less than 50 cm would deduct 10 points. I was so nervous that my palms were sweating. The instructor said common mistakes were not holding the clutch properly or not giving enough throttle, which could cause the car to slip and lead to failure. I remember using small props to simulate the slope during practice, repeatedly practicing until I gradually mastered the rhythm of the half-clutch point. Being too far from the roadside would also deduct points, so it had to be kept within 30 cm. The scoring rules are quite reasonable, as rolling back on a real road could lead to a rear-end collision—safety comes first. After practicing a few more times and calming my nerves, I got the hang of it. During the test, don’t overthink it; just focus on the operation. Practice makes perfect. I recommend practicing with a friend to boost confidence.
