How to Deduct Points for Hill Start and Fixed Point Stop?
2 Answers
The following are the point deduction scenarios for hill start and fixed point stop: 1. Scenario one: During hill fixed point parking, if the wheel presses the right solid line, 100 points will be deducted. If the distance between the right side of the vehicle body and the right solid line is greater than 30 cm but less than 50 cm, 10 points will be deducted. If the distance exceeds 50 cm, 100 points will be deducted. 2. Scenario two: If the front bumper is not placed on the stop line, stopping too early or too late within 30 cm will result in a 10-point deduction. Stalling the engine once deducts 10 points. If the engine is restarted without shifting the gear lever to neutral after stalling, 100 points will be deducted. Rolling back within 30 cm deducts 10 points. Exceeding 30 cm results in a 100-point deduction.
Last time when I took the slope starting and stopping test in the driving license exam (Subject 2), I lost points due to imprecise parking. The test requires stopping at a designated position where the front bumper must not exceed the yellow line or dashed straight line on the ground. That time, I didn't control the distance well and got 20 points deducted as soon as the front wheels touched the line. There's also the issue of rolling back when starting: if the vehicle rolls back more than 30cm after releasing the brake, it's an immediate 100-point deduction, which almost means failing. I've experienced this during practice when I couldn't stabilize the clutch properly. Stalling is another serious mistake - the engine stopping results in point deduction, a common error I made during my early learning stage by releasing the clutch too quickly. Additionally, taking more than 30 seconds to start will also incur penalties, with the examiner timing nearby. I believe the key lies in practicing to find the half-clutch point - when the car body slightly vibrates before releasing the brake, using the parking brake to stabilize the vehicle. Slope starting isn't just a test item; it tests precise control ability. Getting the position wrong or rolling affects safety, and practicing more on uphill sections can improve skills. Fortunately, I summarized my experience after the test and finally passed.
