How many points are deducted for rolling back during hill start in Subject 2?
2 Answers
During the hill parking test, if the vehicle rolls back less than 30 cm during start, 10 points are deducted; if it rolls back more than 30 cm, 100 points are deducted. Other point deduction items are as follows: After parking, if the right side of the vehicle body is more than 30 cm away from the roadside line, 10 points are deducted; if more than 50 cm, 100 points are deducted; crossing or touching the line results in 100 points deduction; After parking, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line and the deviation is within 50 cm, 10 points are deducted; if exceeding 50 cm, 100 points are deducted; After parking, if the parking brake is not fully engaged, 10 points are deducted; Failure to complete the start within 30 seconds results in 100 points deduction; Stalling once during start deducts 10 points; Starting the engine without the gear in neutral or park results in 100 points deduction; Key points for hill parking operation: Upon hearing the "hill parking" instruction (about 20 meters from the pole), turn on the right turn signal, steer appropriately to the right, and slowly drive the vehicle straight along the right side of the road, paying attention to the distance between the vehicle body and the right sideline. When the vehicle is about 10 meters from the parking pole, approach the target slowly, accurately, and steadily. Accurately estimate the target using the parking pole and a specific point on the windshield (or hood) (this point should be determined during practice due to differences in vehicle models and driver height). When a specific point on the windshield aligns with the parking pole, indicating the vehicle bumper is aligned with the pole line, stop immediately.
During the driving test's Subject 2 (hill start), if the vehicle rolls back more than 30 centimeters, you'll immediately lose 100 points, which means failing the test. When I took the test, I was too nervous and couldn't coordinate the accelerator and clutch properly—my car rolled back 50 centimeters in an instant, and the examiner made me retake the test immediately. Actually, this rule is mainly for safety, as rolling back on a slope can easily lead to accidents. With more practice, you can find the clutch's biting point and use the handbrake to start smoothly, avoiding this situation. Remember, a small rollback within 30 centimeters only deducts 10 points, but continuous mistakes can still lead to failure. It's best to simulate hill starts multiple times at the driving school to get familiar with the car's feel and stay calm—don't panic like I did, or you'll just waste time and effort.
