How many points are deducted for rolling back on a slope?
2 Answers
Stalling will deduct 10 points, rolling back after stalling deducts 100 points, failing to restart within 30 seconds after stalling deducts 100 points, and improper restart after stalling (starting without releasing the handbrake or starting in neutral) deducts 100 points. Below are relevant explanations: 1. Reasons for rolling back: During driving tests, rolling back occurs because the clutch engagement point isn't sufficiently raised. Without applying throttle, the idle speed may be insufficient to start the car on a slope, causing stalling. 2. Reasons for stalling: Rolling back followed by sudden braking or clutch release causes stalling. It could also be due to releasing the handbrake too late during startup.
I've experienced rolling back on slopes several times. From a traffic regulation perspective, if you accidentally roll back without causing an accident, police typically deduct 1 to 2 points when caught. This happens due to improper clutch-throttle coordination during startup, violating basic safe driving requirements. With years of driving experience, I find this mainly occurs from improperly set handbrakes or disabled assist functions in automatic transmission vehicles. I recommend beginners practice hill starts on steeper slopes - first firmly engage the handbrake before applying throttle to prevent this. For prevention, regular brake system and tire inspections can reduce risks. While rolling back seems minor, it could cause major accidents if another vehicle rear-ends you, making point deductions a light penalty. Correct this habit early before regretting after an accident occurs.
