Why was the hill start removed from the manual transmission driving test (Subject 2)?

[LeRafael]

The removal of the hill start from the manual transmission driving test (Subject 2) is aimed at enabling faster acquisition of a driver's license. Below are the differences between manual and automatic transmissions: 1. Learning duration: Manual transmission vehicles are more complex than automatic ones, resulting in different learning periods. Typically, learning to drive a manual transmission takes at least one month longer than an automatic. Due to the greater difficulty, the pass rate for manual transmission license tests is also lower. 2. License types: A manual transmission license is classified as C1, whereas an automatic transmission license is C2. Holders of an automatic transmission license (C2) cannot drive manual transmission vehicles, but manual transmission license (C1) holders are permitted to drive automatic transmission vehicles. 3. Cost: Because manual transmission is more challenging to learn and has a lower pass rate, its tuition fees are generally cheaper compared to automatic transmission courses, which tend to be more expensive.
