What Causes a Car to Roll Back When Starting?

[VonBethany]

Here is the relevant introduction to rolling back when starting: Inertia movement: Rolling back refers to coasting in neutral or with the clutch disengaged. Simply put, it means when the car is moving quickly, pressing the clutch or shifting to neutral and relying solely on the car's inertia to move forward. Improper clutch-throttle coordination: When starting on a slope, the phenomenon of the car moving backward due to improper clutch-throttle coordination is also called rolling back. To prevent the car from rolling back when starting, the left foot must slowly release the clutch first. When you feel the front of the car noticeably vibrating, the right foot should gradually release the brake. After the brake is fully released, the left foot can slowly release the clutch while maintaining a steady position. Then, the right hand releases the handbrake, and the car will slowly move forward. This operation ensures the car does not roll backward.
