Stalling during hill start in Subject 2 deducts 10 points. The scoring criteria for hill parking and starting in Subject 2 are as follows: 1. Failing to park at the designated spot deducts 100 points. If the front bumper of the vehicle does not reach the control line after stopping, 100 points are deducted; 2. Rolling back more than 30 cm after parking deducts 100 points, while rolling back less than 30 cm deducts 10 points; 3. Failing to turn on the left turn signal when starting deducts 10 points; 4. Driving over the solid edge line of the road deducts 100 points; 5. If the front bumper does not reach the parking line after stopping, 10 points are deducted (originally 20 points); 6. If the right front wheel is more than 30 cm from the edge line when parking, 10 points are deducted (originally 20 points); 7. Taking more than 30 seconds to start deducts 100 points.
I remember when I was learning to drive and taking the Subject 2 test, the hill start was particularly prone to stalling. The instructor repeatedly emphasized that stalling once would directly deduct 10 points. The total test score was 100 points, and failing to maintain at least 80 points meant disqualification. At the time, due to nervousness, I released the clutch too quickly, causing the car to jerk and stall, resulting in an immediate point deduction—I almost didn’t pass. Actually, to avoid this, you need to first find the semi-engagement point—slowly lift the clutch while gently pressing the accelerator until you feel the car slightly vibrate, then hold steady. Practicing in a simulated test environment, like repeatedly trying on a parking lot slope to familiarize yourself with the coordination between the accelerator and clutch, can help reduce mistakes. Don’t just rush to take the test; mastering the fundamentals will make passing much easier.
