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.

When performing a hill start on a slope between 30% and 50%, if the vehicle rolls back more than 30 cm but less than 50 cm, 10 points will be deducted based on standard exam rules to prevent safety risks. When teaching beginners, I emphasize three steps: first, press the brake firmly and shift to first gear, gently lift the clutch to the semi-engagement point (feeling slight vibration in the car), then slowly release the brake while applying throttle to start. The main cause of rolling back is unstable coordination between the clutch and throttle. During practice, repeatedly try on a neutral slope to reduce mistakes. Don't forget that the vehicle's position is also important—keep within 30 cm from the side line. Regularly watch instructional videos to develop muscle memory, which is more reliable. Safe driving habits start with basic practice; don't rush, and success will come naturally.

In the steep slope starting test, with a gradient of 30% to 50%, rolling back more than 30cm but less than 50cm deducts 10 points, with the core issue being the risk of vehicle loss of control. On actual roads, brief rolling back may cause rear-end collisions, especially in dense traffic. The point deduction serves as a reminder to improve clutch precision and not rush the start—ensure a safe distance before moving. More practice reduces accidents, fostering good driving instincts. Safety is always the top priority.
