Should You Shift to Neutral After Stopping on an Uphill Slope?

[MacEliza]

After stopping on an uphill slope, there is no need to shift to neutral. Simply engage the handbrake, and once the car is stationary, gradually release the clutch until the engine starts to shudder, then release the brake to proceed. Additionally, there is no need to use the turn signal when performing parallel parking. Below are some tips for the uphill slope segment in the driving test (Subject 2): 1. Align with the center of the slope: Before ascending, align the car's reinforcement ribs with the center of the slope, or position the left wiper corner with the right edge of the slope. During practice, you can check the distance (by looking at the rearview mirror). 2. Stopping at the designated point: Drive slowly without stopping, and when reaching the designated point, press the clutch and brake simultaneously to stop, then engage the handbrake and release it immediately. 3. Gradually release the clutch: If you notice a change in the engine's sound, stabilize the clutch and avoid pressing it further. Release the brake, and the car will move forward smoothly.
