Where should the front of the car be positioned during a hill start?

During a hill start, the front of the car should stop between the two dashed lines. Here are the relevant details: 1. Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It refers to the field driving skill test, with the C1/C2 test items including five mandatory components: reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start and stop, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-turns). 2. Hill Start: The hill start is a field test in the driver's license Subject 2 exam, which involves starting a vehicle parked on a steep slope upwards. The digital method for hill starts is a scientific approach suitable for beginners, combining instrument readings and personal sensations to complete the training task.
I remember when I first started learning to drive, my instructor emphasized the importance of the car's front position during hill starts. In the hill parking test, the front of the car must stop directly under the designated pole. The method is to align the raised point on the right wiper blade with the top of the pole, ensuring the wheels are within 30 cm of the roadside white line to avoid point deductions. When starting, slowly release the clutch until the car slightly vibrates, then press the accelerator to stabilize and prevent rolling back. Accurate positioning ensures a smooth start. After a few practices, I could control it by feel without constantly checking markers. Even now, when driving on hilly roads, I habitually align reference points to avoid slipping. In short, practicing alignment and clutch control is key—don’t rush the test.
