When performing a hill start, should you press the clutch or brake first?

[SanRebecca]

When performing a hill start, you should press the brake first and then the clutch. If you press the clutch first, the car will be in neutral and lose engine control, causing it to roll backward. Therefore, for a hill start, you should press the brake first and then the clutch. Concept: Hill start and stop is a key assessment point in the driver's test. The test requires: stopping at a fixed position on a slope with a gradient of ≥10% and a length of ≥30 meters, assessing the coordination of steering, braking, and clutch. The purpose is to train drivers to accurately judge the vehicle's position and correctly use the brake, gear, and clutch to meet the needs of stopping and starting on uphill sections. Operation: Upon hearing the instruction for 'hill start and stop,' immediately turn on the right turn signal and steer toward the right side of the road. As you approach the roadside, steer slightly to the left and then quickly straighten to the right, ensuring the right side of the car is parallel to the roadside and within 50 cm (using the white line of the parking spot ahead as a reference, without crossing the white line).
