Should You Shift to Neutral in Hill Start Parking?

[Spencer]

When performing hill start parking, you must engage the handbrake and shift to neutral. Then, slowly release the clutch to the semi-engaged point until the vehicle vibrates, and release the brake to complete the hill start. Hill Start Parking: Hill start parking and starting is a key assessment point in the Subject 2 of the driver's license test. Test requirements: The examinee must park the vehicle at a fixed position on a slope with a gradient greater than 10% and a length less than 30 meters, demonstrating coordinated control of steering, braking, and clutch. The purpose is to train drivers to accurately judge the vehicle's position and correctly use the brake, gear, and clutch to meet the needs of parking and starting on uphill sections. Precautions: Correctly master the contact point of the clutch; correctly time the release of the parking brake lever; correctly time and control the force applied to the accelerator pedal (throttle); when starting, avoid abruptly depressing the clutch pedal or accelerator pedal.
