How many points are deducted for starting on a slope between 30 and 50 cm in Subject 2?

In the driving license test, starting on a slope between 30 and 50 cm in Subject 2 results in a deduction of 10 points. Slope parking test requirements: This actually includes two test items: first, stopping at a designated point on an uphill road, and then starting the vehicle on the slope. For the designated stopping point, the front bumper of the vehicle must be in the middle of the yellow stopping line, and the bumper must not exceed or fall short of the yellow line by more than 50 cm. The right front and rear wheels must stop between the edge yellow line and the white line (30 cm in width). For starting on the slope, the vehicle must not roll back more than 30 cm. Slope parking scoring criteria: Failing to stop within 50 cm of the designated stopping line results in a deduction of 20 points; rolling back more than 30 cm leads to failure; stalling the engine results in a deduction of 20 points; stopping beyond the 30 cm range on the right side results in a deduction of 20 points; if the vehicle does not move away within 60 seconds after shifting gears during starting, it leads to failure.
I remember when I was learning to drive, the hill start and stopping at the designated point were really frustrating parts. If the parking position didn't align with the marking line, with a significant deviation—say, over 30 cm but less than 50 cm—the examiner would deduct 10 points immediately. This deduction is quite common, as many beginners tend to make this mistake. The main issue lies in the visual illusion on the slope; it might seem like you've stopped at the point when you're actually far from it. I recommend practicing more before the test to gauge the position using the rearview mirror and controlling the clutch slowly to approach the marking line gradually. Losing 10 points isn't a big deal, as you can still pass overall, but accumulating too many deductions can be risky. Developing good habits during practice makes driving on the road safer, as incorrect positioning on a slope can lead to rolling back and hitting objects.
In the driving test Subject 2, the position requirements for hill-start parking are very strict. If the deviation is between 30 cm and 50 cm, 10 points must be deducted; less than 30 cm no points are deducted, but exceeding 50 cm results in an immediate 100-point deduction and failure. I've seen many students lose points because they parked crookedly due to unstable clutch control on the slope. Actually, you need to stay calm when parking, accurately find the reference point on the marking line, and don't rush. Although losing 10 points doesn't affect the overall situation, you should practice more hill simulations during training and use the mirrors to judge the distance more accurately. This can help avoid mistakes due to exam nerves and also enhance awareness of slope safety in actual driving. Developing good habits is always beneficial.
