Which Subject is Hill Start in the Driving Test?
2 Answers
Hill start is part of Subject 2 in the driving test. Precautions for hill start: Pay attention to the situation in the rearview mirror. The distance between the car body and the sideline should be kept at about 30 centimeters. When you observe through the rearview mirror that the lower part of the mirror overlaps with the control line, press the clutch and brake, and be careful to prevent the car from rolling backward. Precautions for starting on a slope: After completing the hill start, remember to turn on the left turn signal, slowly release the clutch, and when you feel the car's front shaking or the engine sound becoming muffled, slowly release the brake to prepare for starting.
As a new driver who just got my license, I have to say the hill start test was part of the Subject 2 exam. I remember my hands shaking during the first practice. The instructor taught me to control the clutch and throttle to prevent rolling back - it really tested my coordination. Subject 2 is all about practical skills like parallel parking and reverse parking, but the hill start was the toughest part that required repeated practice. Honestly, this test isn't just about getting licensed; it helps build the habit of staying calm on slopes. Now I can handle small inclines with ease. Don't underestimate this training - new drivers should spend more time at the practice range to get familiar with that pedal feel, it really reduces nervousness.
