What are the key points of hill start?
1 Answers
Hill start is part of the driving license test (Subject 2), which involves starting a vehicle parked on a steep slope to move upward. When learning manual transmission hill start techniques, trainees should first engage the handbrake, press the accelerator to reach at least 2000 RPM, then gradually release the clutch until the RPM drops to around 1000. Different tasks in Subject 2 have different deduction criteria. Details are as follows: 1. General deductions: Not wearing a seatbelt, not closing the door properly, or failing to put the gear in neutral when starting the engine will result in a 100-point deduction. Not using turn signals, using them for less than 3 seconds, forgetting to turn them off, or incorrect usage, as well as stalling the engine, will each deduct 10 points. 2. Parallel parking: If the vehicle crosses the line after stopping in the parking space or exceeds the 90-second time limit, 100 points will be deducted. Failing to use or incorrectly using turn signals when exiting the parking space will also deduct 100 points. Touching the parking space lines with the body or the lane edges with the wheels during movement will deduct 10 points each time, and stopping for more than 2 seconds will deduct 5 points each time. 3. Reverse parking: Exceeding the 210-second time limit, not following the prescribed route or sequence, failing to drive the front wheels past the control line before reversing, or failing to park properly will each deduct 100 points. Stopping for more than 2 seconds will deduct 5 points each time. 4. Curve driving: Driving over the edge line or stopping for more than 2 seconds will each deduct 100 points.
