The front bumper of the vehicle must not exceed the foremost line, the front wheels should press on the middle line, and the right side is generally between the right yellow line and the yellow-white line. Below is a partial introduction to slope parking: Introduction: Slope parking is an assessment point in the driver's subject two test. It evaluates the driver's ability to drive the vehicle on an uphill section, correctly park the vehicle at a fixed location by the roadside, accurately use the gear, throttle, and clutch, and then start smoothly. If the vehicle's bumper is not positioned on the designated line during the parking test, exceeding 50cm forward or backward, the test will be failed. Notes: Before ascending the slope, the direction should be corrected in the shortest possible time.

I remember when I first started learning to drive, the reference points for hill-start parking really messed with my head. Later, I found the most reliable method was to watch the lower edge of the left side mirror—when it just covers the upper edge of the thick yellow line on the slope, immediately brake to stop. If you're tall or have the seat adjusted high, you'll need to stop a bit earlier. Align the small raised dot in the middle of the hood with the base of the center arrow on the slope, so the right side is exactly 30 cm away. When practicing, don't forget to keep your sitting position fixed; leaning forward even a little can throw off your reference point. If the wiper's rivet lines up with the pole, that works too—the key is to practice several times to find the reference that suits you best.

A couple of days ago, I was teaching my young neighbor how to park on a slope, and I realized that reference points really vary from person to person. I'm used to hitting the brakes the moment the wiper rivet aligns with the marker pole, but the rearview mirror is actually the key. From the driver's seat, when the bottom edge of the left rearview mirror covers the yellow line on the ground by about two fingers' width, that's usually the perfect stopping position. When going uphill, first align the center of the steering wheel with the right marking line of the slope to avoid crossing the boundary. A person who's 1.6 meters tall and someone who's 1.8 meters tall will have completely different reference points, so it's crucial to adjust the seat and rearview mirror before starting. If the test car doesn't have marker poles, focus on the point where the top edge of the ground marking line overlaps with the bottom edge of the mirror.

The hill start test isn't actually that complicated—just remember three key reference points. First, align your car properly by making the ridge line on the hood point directly at the central arrow on the slope, ensuring correct side distance. Next, watch the left rearview mirror—the most precise stopping point is when the mirror's bottom edge aligns with the top of the yellow line on the ground. When positioned correctly, your bumper should stay within the yellow line zone. If there's a marker pole at the test site, stop when the raised rivet on the wiper is about to touch it. Since eye levels vary, the key is practicing repeatedly with your most familiar reference points—developing muscle memory matters more than rigidly memorizing positions.
