What are the requirements for hill-start parking?
1 Answers
"The test requirements for hill-start parking are to stop at a fixed position on a slope with a gradient ≥10% and a length ≥30 meters, assessing the coordination of steering, braking, and clutch operation. Method for hill-start parking: Depress the clutch fully, engage 1st gear, release the handbrake, and slowly lift the clutch to start; fully release the clutch before ascending the slope. Look ahead, ensuring the midpoint of the front of the car maintains a visual distance of 20-30 cm from the white line on the right side of the slope. Keep the steering wheel straight and drive parallel up the slope. When the driver, the marker pole, and the dashboard form a straight line (approximately 45 degrees based on personal vision), fully depress the clutch, apply the brake, pull up the handbrake, and bring the car to a complete stop. When starting downhill from a half-slope, do not depress the clutch. Instead, apply the brake appropriately to control speed and avoid excessive speed that could lead to danger. As the car gains speed downhill, brake moderately to prevent stalling. As you approach the bottom of the slope, release the brake to maintain normal driving and proceed to the next test item. If the clutch is fully depressed when starting downhill from a half-slope, the car will coast downhill without power, gaining speed rapidly. Fully releasing the clutch provides power, allowing the car to move slowly. Since braking downhill may result in point deductions, fully releasing the clutch is a safe approach."
