How many points are deducted for failing to start the engine in Subject 3 of the driving test?

The "Motor Vehicle Driver Training Teaching and Examination Syllabus" stipulates that stalling the engine once due to improper operation in Subject 3 results in a deduction of 10 points. If these 10 points are deducted, it means no further mistakes leading to point deductions are allowed in the subsequent procedures. If points have already been deducted before stalling, this stalling will result in failing the examination. After stalling, to start again: press the brake pedal, slowly release the clutch until you feel the car body shaking, as if an arrow is about to be released from the bowstring, then slowly release the brake while keeping the clutch steady with the left foot. When releasing the brake, the car should move forward instead of rolling backward. The intensity of the car body shaking is something you need to feel during practice. Releasing the brake too early may result in insufficient force, causing the car to roll backward, while not releasing the brake when the shaking is very intense may easily lead to stalling.
