Should the front wheels press the first line during hill start?
2 Answers
During hill start, the front wheels can press the first line. Below is the relevant introduction to the motor vehicle driver's license test: Test content: Applicants for a motor vehicle driver's license must pass the following four subjects: Subject one - road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; Subject two - field driving skills test; Subject three - road driving skills test; and Subject four - safe and civilized driving knowledge test. Test requirements: The vehicle management office shall accept applications that meet the conditions for a motor vehicle driver's license and arrange the test according to the scheduled date. The test sequence follows Subject one, Subject two, and Subject three in order. Only after passing the previous subject can the applicant take the next subject. After passing the road driving skills test of Subject three, the applicant is allowed to take the safe and civilized driving knowledge test.
During the driving test, the hill start does require the front wheels to touch the first line, as it's a standard examination requirement. I remember the instructor often emphasized this point because touching the line ensures the vehicle stops at the designated position, preventing rolling back or starting errors. In the test, if the front wheels don't touch the line, incorrect positioning will result in point deductions or even failure. The operation method involves slowly aligning with the line when going uphill, stopping, and then firmly pressing the clutch and brake before starting. During practice, pay more attention to aligning with the rearview mirror to develop good habits. In actual driving, it might not be as strict, but examination rules must be strictly followed, or it will affect the pass rate. It's advisable to watch more driving school videos or consult professionals to master the techniques and avoid mistakes during the test.
