What is the correct sequence of operations for stalling in Subject 3?

Here is the introduction to the correct sequence of operations for stalling in Subject 3: 1. Sequence one: There are two deduction criteria for stalling in Subject 3. One is a direct stall caused by improper operation, which deducts 10 points. The other is a stall caused by a mismatch between the gear and the vehicle speed (usually high gear and low speed), which manifests as a jerking sensation in the vehicle, and this type of stall is considered a failure. The first type of stall is caused by improper use of the clutch, usually lifting it too quickly. 2. Sequence two: The method of using the clutch: When pressing down, it must be pressed all the way to the bottom. During the lifting process, it should be two fast, two slow, and one pause. The total travel of the clutch when lifting is divided into five points (fast-slow-pause-slow-fast). The engagement point of the clutch varies for each vehicle. For beginners, the entire travel should be slower, gradually approaching the correct method of use. 3. Sequence three: During the process of lifting the clutch pedal when starting on a flat road in Subject 3, as soon as the car starts to move, the clutch has entered the engagement point area and must be paused. If lifted further, the vehicle will either jerk or stall. Wait until the car has moved forward more than 2 meters, then slowly lift the clutch pedal completely. This way, the vehicle will not stall when starting.
The other day I stalled while practicing driving on city roads, and that feeling was really frustrating. The correct sequence for restarting after stalling in the License Test Part 3 is as follows: First, stay calm and don’t panic—this is crucial. Second, immediately press the clutch and brake to prevent the car from rolling. Third, quickly shift back to neutral to relieve the engine’s burden. Fourth, turn the key to restart the engine. Fifth, shift into first gear after confirming the surroundings are safe. Sixth, gradually release the clutch while gently pressing the accelerator to start smoothly. The entire process should be seamless—no delays. Why is this important? Stalling during the test doesn’t mean an automatic fail, but incorrect operations can lead to point deductions or even accidents due to rolling. So, practice simulating emergencies to develop instinctive reactions. Don’t forget to check the mirrors to ensure the environment is safe before starting—then you’ll be steady.
