How Many Points Are Deducted for Stalling During Hill Start?
1 Answers
In Subject 2 (Driving Test), stalling during hill start will result in a deduction of 10 points. Reason: The examinee may not be accustomed to the clutch of the test vehicle, leading to improper coordination between the clutch and brake during hill start. When releasing the clutch to the semi-engaged position, the brake should also be released slowly, alternating between the clutch and brake with gradual and slow movements. Stalling during hill start results in a 20-point deduction. Hill start test requirements: If the vehicle stops and the front or rear bumper extends beyond 50 cm, it is considered a failure. If the vehicle stops and the front bumper (or the front axle for motorcycles) is not aligned with the pole line but remains within 50 cm, 10 points are deducted (previously 20 points). If the vehicle stops and the body is more than 30 cm away from the road edge line, 10 points are deducted (previously 20 points). If the vehicle starts but rolls backward between 30 cm and 50 cm, 20 points are deducted. If the vehicle rolls backward more than 50 cm after starting, it is considered a failure. Stalling on the slope results in a 20-point deduction. If the vehicle fails to start within 30 seconds after stopping, it is considered a timeout failure.
