What is the distance on the right side when starting on a slope?

The distance on the right side when starting on a slope should be less than 30 centimeters. Tips for maintaining a 30-centimeter distance during a slope start: Observe the position of the engine hood. When the right front corner of the engine hood (about 1/3 of its length) aligns with the roadside line, the distance between the car body and the roadside line is exactly 30 centimeters. Alternatively, when viewed from the driver's seat, if the raised part of the windshield wiper aligns with the right roadside line, the distance is approximately 30 centimeters. Penalty standards for slope starts: After the vehicle stops, if the distance between the car body and the roadside line is between 30cm and 50cm, 10 points will be deducted; if the distance exceeds 50cm, 100 points will be deducted; failure to use or incorrect use of turn signals will result in a 10-point deduction; riding or pressing on the solid lane edge line will result in a 100-point deduction.
The right-side distance during hill starts is indeed quite particular. I believe keeping at least 50 cm is necessary for safety. Beginners often struggle with this—when I was learning to drive, my instructor emphasized not getting too close to the curb, as wheel slippage upon starting could scrape the curb or pedestrians. My advice is to glance at the side mirror when parking; leaving about a yellow line's width between the car and the curb is ideal. Also, avoid rushing the start—gradually release the clutch while applying throttle, and only move once the car is stable. Remember, on rainy days or steep slopes, increase the distance to 60 cm for extra safety against slippage. Regular practice with parking drills helps develop spatial awareness, reducing panic when driving.
