What is the designated stopping position on a slope?
2 Answers
The designated stopping position on a slope requires parking at a fixed location on a slope with a gradient greater than or equal to 10% and a slope length greater than or equal to 30 meters. This is one of the test items in the automobile driver's license examination. Overview of the automobile driver's license examination: The motor vehicle driver's license examination is an official driving skills test conducted within the territory of the People's Republic of China to obtain legal authorization to drive a motor vehicle. Upon passing the examination, the corresponding registered license is issued. Regulations related to the automobile driver's license examination: The Ministry of Public Security of China has published the revised "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" on its official website. According to these regulations, the content and passing standards of the driver's license examination subjects will be unified nationwide. On May 10, 2021, the Ministry of Public Security held a press conference to announce 12 convenience measures, including deepening the reform of "streamlining administration, delegating power, and improving regulation and services" in public security and traffic management.
The hill start stopping position is that nerve-wracking spot at the top of the slope during the Category 2 driving test. When I was practicing, my instructor kept emphasizing three critical lines: the front bumper must stop on the first solid line, the right wheel should be within 30cm from the edge line, and the front of the car must not exceed the second solid line. Here's a practical trick - watch the lower edge of the left rearview mirror! When it's about two fingers' width above the thick yellow line on the slope, immediately brake and pull up the handbrake. This is where rollback most often occurs, so press the foot brake firmly and don't release it right after engaging the handbrake. Our driving school has diagrams posted on the wall, and before tests everyone would study them for a long time.
