Summary

This instructional video script outlines the process of performing a hill start test in a vehicle, particularly on a steep slope. It emphasizes the importance of not letting the car roll back or stall by using a different driving method. The script details the steps to start the car on an incline, including using the handbrake and observing traffic while driving. The lesson is designed to help drivers smoothly navigate such situations without jolts or rollback, ensuring a successful driving experience.

Takeaways

• 🚗 When the car comes to a stop on a slope, you need to apply a different driving method to prevent the car from rolling back or the engine from stalling.
• 🔄 If the slope is not too steep, you can generally drive off in the normal way.
• 🛠️ The training cars in the script are equipped with a hill-start assistant to help navigate the situation more easily.
• 📝 The script covers the hill-start with the handbrake method, which is recommended for relatively steep hills.
• 🚦 Always start the hill-start exercise from a parked position and ensure you observe your surroundings before driving off.
• 💡 Remember to stop and engage the handbrake as you have learned before starting the exercise.
• 🔄 Shift to first gear and slowly release the clutch until it reaches the biting point, while applying throttle according to the steepness of the hill.
• 🔒 At the biting point, you will feel the car wants to move forward but is held back by the handbrake.
• 👀 Use the correct looking technique when driving off: look in the rearview mirror, left side mirror, and over the left shoulder.
• ➡️ Signal left and release the handbrake while allowing the clutch to fully engage.
• 🚕 Observe the traffic behind you using the inside and outside mirrors while driving off.
