Is the Hill Start Still Included in Subject 2?
2 Answers
Subject 2 still includes the hill start, which is also referred to as the hill parking and starting in Subject 2. Below is a relevant introduction to the precautions for the Subject 2 test: 1. Reverse parking into the garage: Be sure to accurately judge the points and lines, observe the distance between the car body and the line from the rearview mirror to avoid the car body crossing the line; do not stop until the car body is completely in the garage, pay attention to properly stepping on the clutch to avoid stopping midway or not fully entering the garage. 2. Parallel parking: Pay attention to the distance between the car body and the garage when parallel, avoid pressing the line, and be careful not to press the garage corner when exiting; remember to turn on the turn signal when exiting. 3. Hill parking and starting: This is the most prone to problems such as rolling back or stalling, so pay attention to the sequence of operations when parking and starting; accurately judge the distance between the right wheel and the right edge line, as well as the parking position, to avoid point deductions. 4. Right-angle turn: When turning the steering wheel fully to make the turn, observe the distance between the wheel and the inner corner, and slightly straighten the steering wheel if it is about to press. 5. Curve driving: Try to drive close to the outer curve and constantly monitor the distance between the rear of the car and the edge line.
I just passed the Subject 2 driving test and confirmed that the hill start is still part of the exam, which happens to be one of the most challenging sections for me. During practice, I constantly faced the challenge of starting on a slope, requiring precise control of the clutch and throttle to avoid stalling or rolling back. In the test, you need to stop at the designated spot, stabilize the car to prevent it from rolling backward, and remember the footwork: first press the brake, slowly release the clutch, listen to the engine sound, and then gently apply the throttle. This exercise is highly practical since slope starts are common in daily driving. I recommend practicing more with simulation training or trying on gentle slopes with a small car—practice makes perfect, and you'll handle the exam pressure with ease.
