What is the reason for the right side pressing the line during hill start?

The reason for the right side pressing the line during hill start is either not finding a proper reference point or having different seat heights during each practice session. Below is a related introduction to hill start: Hill start is part of the field test in the second subject of the driver's license examination, which involves starting a vehicle parked on a steep slope to move upward. The fixed-point parking on an uphill road and the hill start are assessment points in the driver's test, including two test items: first, the fixed-point parking on an uphill road, and then the starting and moving of the vehicle on the slope. Subject 2: Also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment, referred to as the field driving skill test subject. The test items for small cars C1 and C2 include five compulsory items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, fixed-point parking and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving.
I've encountered many cases where drivers press the right line during hill starts, which is usually related to unstable steering wheel control during takeoff. Beginners often focus too much on the clutch and accelerator due to nervousness, causing the car to veer when they suddenly release them. Another issue is incorrect focus of vision—constantly looking down at the dashboard while neglecting the right mirror or road edge lines. The key to hill starts lies in anticipating the angle, stabilizing your feet, gently releasing the clutch while coordinating with the accelerator to let the car move slightly before releasing the handbrake. Keep your vision fixed on a reference point ahead, such as a tree or road sign, to maintain straight driving. Practicing flat starts more often to familiarize yourself with the wheel feeling can help avoid this problem. The vehicle's suspension not being level can also increase the tendency to press the right line. In short, driving habits should be cultivated to improve accuracy and safety.
