What is the scoring standard for the slope stop test?
2 Answers
The scoring standard for the slope stop test is as follows: 1. After the vehicle stops: If the front bumper of the car or the front axle of the motorcycle is not aligned with the pole line and exceeds 50 cm forward or backward, it is considered a failure; if the front bumper of the car or the front axle of the motorcycle is not aligned with the pole line but does not exceed 50 cm forward or backward, 10 points will be deducted; if the vehicle body is more than 30 cm away from the road edge line after stopping, 10 points will be deducted; if the vehicle body is more than 50 cm away from the road edge line, the test is considered a failure. 2. After the vehicle starts: If the vehicle rolls backward between 30 cm and 50 cm, 20 points will be deducted; if the vehicle rolls backward more than 50 cm after starting, the test is considered a failure.
When I was taking my driving test, the hill start was the most frustrating part with many points to lose marks. The parking position was most critical: the front bumper had to align with the pole line—exceeding 50 cm meant an instant fail, while 30 to 50 cm would deduct 10 points. The same applied to the distance between the car body and the curb—exceeding 50 cm was a fail, and 30 to 50 cm meant a deduction. After stopping, you had to pull the handbrake immediately; forgetting it would cost 10 points. During the start, clutch control was crucial—rolling back over 30 cm meant an instant fail, while 10 to 30 cm only deducted 10 points. Additionally, stalling once deducted 10 points, and restarting the engine beyond 30 seconds also meant an instant fail. Every time I practiced, I had to memorize these points—missing just one detail could mean retaking the test.
