The method to prevent rolling back when starting a manual transmission car on a steep slope is to apply throttle during hill start, release the clutch slowly, avoid prolonged acceleration with the throttle while the clutch is in a semi-engaged state, and follow the sequence of applying throttle before releasing the clutch. Steps to prevent rolling back when starting a manual transmission car on a steep slope: When the vehicle is in a parked and starting state, place your right foot on the throttle, depress the clutch pedal with your left foot, shift into first gear, and prepare to release the handbrake with your right hand. When the left foot quickly lifts the clutch pedal to the semi-engaged state, gradually increase the throttle. Pay attention to the close coordination of the clutch, throttle, and handbrake. When the clutch pedal is lifted to the semi-engaged position and the engine sound changes with throttle application, you can release the handbrake. If the car stalls on the slope and needs to be restarted, shift into first gear, pull the handbrake, and fully depress the clutch. Slowly lift the clutch to the semi-engaged state, then stabilize the clutch and gently apply throttle. When the front of the car lifts significantly, release the handbrake, and finally fully lift the clutch. Main reasons for rolling back during hill start: insufficient throttle application; improper timing of releasing the handbrake; poor coordination between throttle and clutch. For a hill start, first maintain the correct driving posture, pay attention to traffic conditions ahead, and avoid looking down.

Why is it difficult to schedule the Subject 3 driving test?

Scheduling exam slots is not on a first-come-first-served basis, but determined by overall ranking numbers. The ranking rules are quite simple: For first-time Subject 1 test applicants, the scheduling time is based on when the user initially applied for a motor vehicle driver's license. For non-first-time Subject 1 test applicants, the scheduling time is based on the date of the last exam. Additional information: Subject 3 test precautions: Starting with doors not fully closed results in failure. Failing to check interior/exterior mirrors or look back to observe traffic conditions before starting results in failure. Starting the engine with gear not in neutral results in failure. Starting without releasing the parking brake and failing to correct promptly results in failure. Starting without releasing the parking brake but correcting promptly deducts 10 points.
