Precautions and details for the uphill stopping point in Subject 2 driving test are as follows: 1. Main deduction points: This item has a high failure rate, with main deduction points including the 30cm side line, 50cm stopping point, rolling back, stalling, etc. 2. Pay attention to the stopping point: Adjust the direction when entering the slope, observe the 30cm distance between the highest point of the wiper and the side line. While adjusting the 30cm distance, be mindful of the stopping point. Some candidates tend to get distracted during the test, focusing only on adjusting the 30cm distance and neglecting the stopping point. 3. Pay attention to the clutch: When starting the car, slowly release the clutch. When the car shows obvious shaking, keep the clutch steady and release the brake to complete the starting operation. If the car stalls during starting, quickly press the clutch and brake firmly, because once stalling occurs, poor control of the clutch and brake will inevitably cause the car to roll back.
For the hill start and stop section in Subject 2 of the driving test, I believe the key lies in accurately identifying the stopping point and controlling the speed. First, adjust the seat and rearview mirrors before starting the car to ensure you can see the marker lines on the slope. When starting, use the half-clutch technique to maintain a slow speed—avoid sudden throttle inputs as this can easily stall the car. As you approach the stopping point, focus on the hood or rearview mirror to align the front wheels with the designated spot (usually a yellow line or marker pole), then immediately press the brake and engage the handbrake. Pay close attention to coordinating the clutch and brake to prevent the car from rolling back. Next, to start moving again, gently press the accelerator while slowly releasing the clutch. Once you feel the car slightly vibrating, release the handbrake and proceed steadily. Practice finding the stopping point frequently to build muscle memory, stay calm during the test, and don’t let the examiner intimidate you. If you fail once, don’t panic—consistent practice is the key. For finer details, always check the vehicle’s condition, such as the rearview mirror angle, to avoid minor oversights causing major issues.
