What are the penalty items for the hill start in Subject 2?

[MacOmar]

Subject 2 penalty standards for the hill start: 1. After the vehicle stops: (1) If the front bumper of the car or the front axle of the motorcycle is not aligned with the pole line, and the deviation exceeds 50 centimeters both forward and backward, it results in failure. (2) After the vehicle stops, if the front bumper of the car or the front axle of the motorcycle is not aligned with the pole line, but the deviation does not exceed 50 centimeters, a 10-point penalty is incurred. (3) After the vehicle stops, if the body is more than 30 centimeters away from the road edge line, a 10-point penalty is incurred; if it is more than 50 centimeters away, the test is failed. (4) After the vehicle starts, if the vehicle rolls backward more than 30 centimeters but not exceeding 50 centimeters, a 20-point penalty is incurred. (5) If the vehicle is not started within 30 seconds, it results in failure due to timeout. 2. After the vehicle starts: (1) If the vehicle rolls backward more than 50 centimeters, the test is failed. (2) If the vehicle stalls on the slope, a 20-point penalty is incurred.

During my driving test for Subject 2 (hill start), it was common for me to stall and lose points due to unstable clutch control. Another time, the car rolled back 40 cm because of insufficient throttle, and the examiner directly pointed out it was too dangerous, resulting in a penalty. A major issue was time management—I had to complete the start within 30 seconds or face penalties, and failing to position the front wheels accurately on the starting line during parking also cost me points. These mistakes caused me a lot of trouble. Later, with more practice coordinating the foot brake and clutch, I reduced errors and passed. Stalling and losing points indicate weak foundational skills, rolling back beyond the 30 cm limit shows poor control, and the time limit tests reaction speed—all key exam focuses. It’s best to practice on hilly roads to simulate test conditions and develop stable starting habits to avoid point deductions.

When frequently instructing students on the hill start exercise, common point deductions include stalling (each occurrence reflects unstable operation), rolling back more than 30cm (counted as dangerous driving), exceeding 30 seconds for starting, and incorrect stopping position (e.g., front wheels not crossing the starting line). For practice, it's recommended to first stabilize the vehicle body and then use the foot brake to control rollback risk. Coordinate the left foot clutch with the throttle smoothly—avoid rushing to improve success rates. These points are not only crucial for the test but also directly relate to real-world hill start safety. For instance, stalling during uphill traffic congestion may cause rear-end collisions, while rolling back could hit pedestrians or following vehicles. Therefore, the penalty system is reasonably designed to encourage mastering techniques and reducing accidents.

The slope starting assessment emphasizes the fundamentals of safe driving. Points are deducted for specific errors: stalling the engine results in a deduction due to the high risk of losing control when stopping on a slope, rolling back more than 30 cm indicates insufficient braking force and leads to an immediate deduction, and failing to start within 30 seconds tests reaction time and also incurs a deduction. In reality, these mistakes could cause serious accidents, hence the strictness in the test. During training, it's crucial to master the coordination between hands and feet, and to frequently use simulators or actual driving tests to practice handling various slope conditions. This reduces the likelihood of point deductions and ensures passing the test.
