Should the clutch be fully depressed when parking on a slope?
1 Answers
When performing a slope parking and starting, the clutch must be fully depressed to prevent stalling. Below are specific techniques for the second subject of the driving test: 1. Slow speed: Maintaining a slow speed is the fundamental rule for practicing the second subject. Ensure the vehicle doesn't stop while keeping the speed as slow as possible. A slower speed allows sufficient time to adjust each operation. 2. Adjust the rearview mirrors: After getting in the car, always adjust the rearview mirrors properly, which is particularly important for reverse parking and parallel parking. 3. Master the three-point alignment method: The three points are the driver's eyes, a reference point on the car, and a reference point on the ground. During the second subject operations, it's essential to accurately locate and observe these points to ensure precise positioning. 4. Pay attention to the four corners of the car: The front corner is prone to crossing the outer line during reverse parking, while the rear corner is likely to cross the side lines of the parking space. The front corner may go out of line during curve driving and right-angle turns. In parallel parking, the front corner may cross the outer line or the left front corner of the parking space, and the right rear corner may cross the right parking line. Therefore, always be mindful of the four corners and the outer lines.
