What are the deduction criteria for hill start?

Introduction to the deduction criteria for hill start is as follows: Hill parking scoring criteria: After parking, if the right side of the vehicle body is more than 30 cm away from the roadside line, 10 points will be deducted; if it is more than 50 cm away, 100 points will be deducted; crossing or touching the line will result in a 100-point deduction; after parking, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line and the deviation is within 50 cm, 10 points will be deducted; if the deviation exceeds 50 cm, 100 points will be deducted; if the parking brake is not fully engaged, 10 points will be deducted. Hill start scoring criteria: Failing to complete the start within 30 seconds will result in a 100-point deduction; stalling once during the start will deduct 10 points; if the gear is not in neutral or park when starting the engine, 100 points will be deducted; if the vehicle rolls back less than 30 cm during the start, 10 points will be deducted; if the rollback exceeds 30 cm, 100 points will be deducted.
When it comes to the scoring criteria for starting at a designated point, the part I most often emphasize during driving lessons is the hill start. The basic rule is that during the driving test, if the vehicle rolls back more than 30 cm when starting, 10 points are deducted. This applies to both hill and flat road tests. Stalling once also results in a 10-point deduction. Additionally, the front of the vehicle must not exceed the designated line or area, otherwise 5 to 10 points will be deducted. Many people make these mistakes due to unstable clutch control, so I recommend that beginners practice coordinating their left and right feet more, such as gently releasing the clutch while pressing the brake to avoid vehicle shaking. Safety comes first—these standards are in place to prevent rear-end collisions or accidents in real driving. I remember one of my students was so nervous that they forgot to engage the handbrake and failed the test immediately. In reality, staying relaxed makes a big difference.
