What are the deduction criteria for hill-start parking?
2 Answers
Hill-start parking deduction criteria are as follows: 1. Pole line: After the vehicle stops, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line and exceeds 50 cm in either direction, it is disqualified; if it does not exceed 50 cm, 20 points are deducted. 2. Distance from the road edge line: After the vehicle stops, if the body is more than 30 cm away from the road edge line, 20 points are deducted. 3. Wheels crossing the outer yellow line: After the vehicle stops, if the wheels cross the outer yellow line, it is disqualified; crossing the white line deducts 10 points. 4. Engine stalling and rolling back: Engine stalling once deducts 10 points; rolling back 30 cm disqualifies the vehicle.
In the hill start project of Subject 2, the scoring criteria are quite detailed. When parking, the bumper must precisely align with the pole line; deviating forward or backward by more than 50 cm results in immediate failure. A deviation between 30 to 50 cm deducts 10 points. There are also specific rules for the right side of the vehicle's distance from the edge line—exceeding 30 cm deducts 10 points, and surpassing 50 cm means immediate disqualification. The most common mistake is during the start; rolling back less than 30 cm deducts 10 points, while more than 30 cm results in zero points. Another easily overlooked point is that the handbrake must be applied after parking; forgetting to do so deducts 10 points. Timing is also crucial; failing to start successfully within 30 seconds counts as a failure. Every time I practice, I focus on these standards repeatedly, as every point matters for passing the test.
