Stepping on the accelerator during a hill start will not result in penalty points. Before releasing the handbrake, it is best to observe the road conditions ahead. If it is an uphill or downhill slope, it is advisable to press the brake with your right foot, slowly release the clutch, and when the vehicle starts to shake significantly, keep the clutch pedal steady with your left foot while gradually releasing the brake with your right foot. Once the vehicle starts moving, completely release the brake. The penalty criteria for hill starts are as follows: 1. After the vehicle stops, if the front bumper of the car or the front axle of the motorcycle is not aligned with the pole line and exceeds 50 cm in either direction, it is considered a failure; 2. After the vehicle stops, if the front bumper of the car or the front axle of the motorcycle is not aligned with the pole line but does not exceed 50 cm in either direction, 10 points will be deducted (originally 20 points); 3. After the vehicle stops, if the body is more than 30 cm but less than 50 cm away from the road edge line, 10 points will be deducted (originally 20 points); 4. After the vehicle stops, if the body is more than 50 cm away from the road edge line, 100 points will be deducted; 5. After the vehicle starts, if it rolls back 10-30 cm, 10 points will be deducted; 6. After the vehicle starts, if it rolls back more than 30 cm, the test is considered a failure; 7. If the engine stalls once due to improper operation, 10 points will be deducted; 8. After the vehicle stops, if it is not started within 30 seconds, it is considered a failure due to timeout; 9. If the parking brake is not tightened after stopping, 10 points will be deducted; 10. If the vehicle rides or presses on the solid edge line of the road while moving, it is considered a failure.
