MOVING OFF UPHILL - HOW TO DO A HILL START VIDEO LESSON

Do not let the car roll backwards whilst performing a hill start, as it could prove dangerous. If this happens on your test you will score a major or minor fault depending on how severe the rollback is.


On your driving test, when performing a hill start, the examiner will expect you to:

Move off safely and under control on a gradient, use the MSM routine, check your blind spot for traffic and pedestrians, make balanced use of the accelerator, clutch, brakes and steering, use the appropriate gear, avoid rolling back.

Driving Uphill
When driving uphill your car will need more power to maintain its speed so you may need to change down a gear. The steeper the hill the lower the gear you should use.

Parking On a Hill
Make sure your handbrake is firmly engaged. If facing downhill turn the front wheels into the kerb and put the car into reverse gear. If facing uphill turn the wheels away from the kerb and engage first gear.
