Will stalling during the driving test (Section 3) result in point deduction?
1 Answers
Stalling during the Section 3 driving test will result in a 10-point deduction. Below is an explanation of the reasons for stalling: 1. Improper clutch and throttle coordination: Stalling is generally caused by improper coordination between the clutch and throttle, or lifting the clutch too quickly when starting, i.e., releasing the pedal too fast. This creates a mismatch between the engine's output power and the transmission's input power, leading to a sudden increase in friction and causing the engine to stall. 2. Braking timing: Press the brake pedal, gently lift the clutch until you feel the car shaking, as if it's ready to move. Then, gently release the brake while keeping the clutch steady. The car should move forward instead of rolling backward. The intensity of the car's shaking needs to be experienced during practice. Releasing the brake too early may result in insufficient force, causing the car to roll, while not releasing the brake when the shaking is severe may lead to stalling.
