What are the penalty items for ramp driving?

[VonNatalie]

Penalty items for ramp parking are as follows: 1. Vehicle starting: (1) If the vehicle rolls back 10-30 cm after starting, 10 points will be deducted. (2) If the vehicle rolls back more than 30 cm after starting, the test will be failed. 2. Vehicle stopping: (1) If the front bumper of the car or the front axle of the motorcycle is not aligned with the pole line after stopping, and the deviation exceeds 50 cm, it will be considered a failure. (2) If the front bumper of the car or the front axle of the motorcycle is not aligned with the pole line after stopping, but the deviation does not exceed 50 cm, 10 points will be deducted (previously 20 points). (3) If the vehicle body is more than 30 cm away from the road edge line after stopping but does not exceed 50 cm, 10 points will be deducted (previously 20 points). (4) If the vehicle body is more than 50 cm away from the road edge line after stopping, 100 points will be deducted. 3. Other penalty items: (1) If the engine stalls once due to improper operation, 10 points will be deducted. (2) If the parking brake is not tightened after stopping, 10 points will be deducted. (3) If the vehicle rides or presses the solid edge line of the road while driving, it will be considered a failure.

I remember when I was practicing at the driving school, the instructor emphasized the penalty points for slope driving. There were several common mistakes: The vehicle rolling back more than 30 cm was definitely a major point deduction—once you couldn't control the rolling distance, it was game over. Stalling the engine during start-up was another frequent error, usually caused by poor coordination between the clutch and throttle. Incorrect positioning during the stop, such as exceeding the allowed range for front or rear deviation, would also cost points. Using the parking brake was mandatory, but many students forgot to pull the handbrake before starting, leading to rolling and heavy penalties. Taking more than 30 seconds to start was another pitfall, with the examiner timing it strictly. Wheels crossing or going out of bounds was also a mistake. To avoid these, you had to practice controlling the semi-engaged clutch point to ensure a smooth, jerk-free start. I think the test was well-designed to ensure we could handle slopes safely in the future—safety first.

In my experience, the penalty points on slopes include several key aspects: Rolling too far beyond the standard length results in severe penalties, directly reflecting poor control; stalling is the most common issue, especially for beginners who release the clutch too quickly; precise positioning is crucial for stopping at designated points, as significant deviations inevitably lead to deductions; failing to engage the handbrake before starting is extremely dangerous and a critical mistake; exceeding the time limit for starting is recorded as sluggish operation; and running over or crossing the line with wheels also incurs penalties. What I've learned from practice is that more practice in coordinating the clutch and throttle to find the right feel, slowly releasing the clutch while gently pressing the throttle, develops good habits that make parking in real road conditions much easier, such as preventing rollback on steep slopes.

I just passed the second driving test not long ago, and I remember losing quite a few points on the hill start: rolling back more than 30 cm results in heavy point deductions; stalling the engine immediately gets marked by the examiner; incorrect stopping position leads to penalties; failing to use the handbrake causes rolling back and point loss; exceeding the start time limit is not allowed; and letting the wheels cross the line is also a mistake. More practice with clutch control will help.

Having driven for twenty years, recalling the penalty points during the driving test on slopes: excessive rolling distance leads to more deductions; stalling is a sign of poor basic control; deviation from the designated stopping point will be penalized; not using the handbrake when starting is highly prone to rolling; exceeding the start time limit results in penalties; wheel pressing the line is a detail issue. These points teach us that with refined skills, daily driving and parking on slopes become worry-free.
