Driving Test › Incline start

Incline start

When doing an incline start the driver must
start the vehicle on an incline and move off smoothly without rolling
backwards, stalling, jerking or spinning the wheels. Unfortunately, you will
only be allowed one attempt. The driver will need to accelerate as well as
obtain clutch control in order to achieve enough revs to stop the car from
stalling or rolling backwards. When moving off, the driver will be required to
do so smoothly and without rolling. Rolling a vehicle forwards or backwards
poses a danger to other drivers.
