Reasons for Vehicle Rollback During Subject 3 Start-Up

Reasons for vehicle rollback during Subject 3 start-up: Improper operation and incorrect use of the clutch semi-engagement state. Below is relevant information about starting rollback: 1. When starting, you must first release the clutch to semi-engagement before releasing the brake to ensure no rollback occurs. 2. Before starting, you should first turn on the left turn signal and wait for a full three seconds before beginning to steer. 3. When turning, sound the horn twice, check both side mirrors, and confirm rear safety before preparing to start. 4. When starting, simultaneously press the clutch and foot brake. 5. After confirming surrounding safety, shift into first gear and release the handbrake.
I remember when I first learned to drive at driving school, I always had trouble with the hill start in Subject 3, mainly because of unstable clutch control. I often released the clutch too quickly, and the engine speed couldn't keep up with the vehicle's weight, causing the car to roll backward. Another reason was not pressing the accelerator enough or too late, especially on steep slopes—if the throttle wasn't timed right, it was game over. Also, releasing the handbrake too quickly would cause the car to roll, so I had to coordinate the clutch and throttle properly to maintain stability. Nerves played a role too—the pressure during the test made my movements less smooth. My instructor taught me to practice slowly, starting on flat ground to get a feel for it. Now, I think the key is not to panic: when starting in first gear, first stabilize the clutch, wait for the car to slightly move, then add throttle and release the handbrake. After a few repetitions, it becomes second nature.
