2 Answers
Stalling during hill start in Subject 2 results in a deduction of 10 points. The following are the test techniques for hill start in Subject 2: 1. Upon hearing the instruction: Immediately turn on the right turn signal and steer the vehicle towards the right side of the course; If there is a slope when starting, use the hill start method to prevent rolling back. 2. When approaching the roadside: Turn the steering wheel slightly to the left, then quickly straighten it to the right, ensuring the right side of the vehicle remains parallel to the roadside and within 30CM. Keep the black square of the left wiper's middle connecting part between the white and yellow lines, avoiding the yellow line; It's best to follow the white dashed line or align the left rib with the marker line; After starting, you can fully release the clutch and proceed uphill. 3. When nearing the stopping point: Press the clutch to slow down. Upon seeing the stopping marker to the right, press the foot brake and clutch to stop, or stop when the edge of the positioning pole line is visible from the lower edge of the left rearview mirror. Then, pull the handbrake, turn off the turn signal, shift to neutral, and release the clutch.
I remember when I took the Subject 2 test, my car stalled during the hill start, and the examiner immediately deducted 10 points, which really gave me a scare. Fortunately, I didn’t make any mistakes in the reverse parking and parallel parking sections before that, so I only lost a total of 15 points and managed to pass safely. Actually, stalling during the test is a common issue, mainly due to poor clutch control or improper coordination between the throttle and brake. During practice, it helps to find steeper slopes to simulate the situation a few times and gradually get a feel for the right moment to release the clutch, which can prevent this from happening. During the test, don’t get nervous—take a deep breath before operating. If the car does stall, don’t panic; just restart the engine quickly and continue without affecting the subsequent tasks. The scoring rules usually allocate a total of 100 points, with stalling once deducting 10 points. The failing threshold is losing more than 20 points, so it’s not a big deal. The key is to build up muscle memory through regular practice.
