How many points are deducted for starting on a slope with less than 30 centimeters?

If the vehicle body is less than 30cm from the edge line but does not cross the lane line, no points are deducted. Below are some techniques for maintaining a 30cm distance on the slope during the second driving test: 1. Align the wiper rivet with the edge line: When the rivet position on the left wiper aligns with the right edge line on the ground, the vehicle body is approximately 30cm from the right edge line. 2. Rearview mirror observation method: The rearview mirror can directly show the rear wheel, with a 30cm distance from the edge line in the reflection. 3. Front 1/3 of the hood: For some test vehicles with uneven hoods, such as the Volkswagen Santana, when the fold line at the front 1/3 of the right hood intersects with the right edge line, the vehicle body is about 30cm from the edge line. Generally, the hood is divided into three equal parts, and aligning the front one-third of the hood with the right edge line achieves the desired distance.

I remember during the slope starting practice for the driving test, the instructor repeatedly emphasized controlling the rollback distance. If the rollback is less than 30 cm, it's considered a minor mistake, usually resulting in a deduction of around 10 points, which might still barely pass the test. However, exceeding this limit would directly deduct 100 points, leading to failure. During my first test, I almost lost control—my foot wasn’t steady on the clutch, and the car rolled back slightly. Fortunately, I estimated the distance didn’t reach 30 cm. In actual driving, slope starting is a safety fundamental. A small rollback has little impact, but a large one can easily cause a rear-end collision. I recommend practicing hill starts more often, simulating steep slopes on flat roads, and developing the habit of first pulling the handbrake, pressing the clutch, and gently accelerating to reduce rollback risks. Such details are crucial in tests and reflect safety awareness in daily driving, as preventing rollback can help avoid minor accidents.

Having driven for many years, I've seen all sorts of situations during hill starts. The exam criteria are clear: rolling back less than 30 cm deducts 10 points, which is considered a recoverable mistake; exceeding 30 cm results in an immediate 100-point deduction and failure. I've witnessed many beginners roll back due to nervousness, often exceeding the limit with just a slight lapse in attention. In reality, the rollback distance is related to the slope and vehicle weight—the 30 cm threshold accounts for a safety margin, as stopping within one-third of a meter is still manageable. During the exam, it's advisable to make full use of the vehicle's built-in parking functions and practice coordinating the clutch and throttle. In the long run, mastering these skills can help avoid parking lot fender benders.

In the hill start test, rolling back less than 30 cm usually results in a 10-point deduction, which is an acceptable error margin. Exceeding this distance leads to a 100-point deduction and failure. Through experience, I've learned that the 30 cm standard serves as a safety threshold - too close poses risks, while exceeding it indicates loss of control. In real driving situations, I've encountered slight rollbacks on steep hills after stopping, but timely correction prevented issues. I recommend practicing with the foot brake to stabilize the vehicle before starting, combined with mirror checks for distance observation. Since exam pressure often causes oversight of details, it's better to develop these habits during regular practice.
