Driving Test › Incline start
Incline start
When
doing an incline start the driver must start the motorcycle 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 motorcycle from stalling or rolling backwards. When moving off, the
driver will be required to do so smoothly and without rolling. Rolling a
motorcycle forwards or backwards poses a danger to other drivers.
