What is the remedy for stalling on a slope in Subject 2?
2 Answers
You can restart within three seconds, which will only deduct 10 points. When starting on a slope, press the clutch with your left foot and the brake with your right foot. Slowly release the clutch while paying attention to the vibration of the car body. Once you notice the front of the car lifting slightly, gradually release the brake pedal, and the car will move forward. Regarding slope starting: This mainly relies on the feel for the clutch. During regular training, the coach often emphasizes clutch control, and with repeated practice, you will naturally develop a sense for it. Stalling during slope starting may occur if the clutch pedal is lifted too high and the brake is released too quickly. If the clutch pedal is lifted too low and does not reach the semi-engagement position, the car may roll backward when the brake is released. To control the backward movement (exceeding 20 cm results in failure), always release the brake slowly. If you notice the car starting to roll back, immediately press the brake firmly to stop the car, then lift the clutch pedal slightly before slowly releasing the brake again.
When I first learned to drive, I often stalled too. Now that I've trained more students, I've found the key is to stay calm and not panic. If you stall, immediately press the brake fully and pull the handbrake tight to prevent the dangerous situation of the car rolling back. Then, shift to neutral, start the engine, engage first gear, and press the clutch. The crucial part is to slowly release the clutch to the biting point when starting. Once you feel the car vibrate, don't release the handbrake yet. First, lightly press the accelerator to around 1500 RPM, then gradually release the handbrake while slowly lifting the clutch. I recommend practicing on slopes to get a feel for the biting point. Train until you can coordinate the throttle and clutch when the car's front slightly lifts, so you won't be afraid of slopes during the test.
