Hill Starts

In this post, we're going to take you through the dreaded hill start. After a bit of practice, you should find this to be much easier than you first thought!



When you can move off safely and smoothly on a level road, the next stage is to move off on a hill. 

The examiner on the driving test will expect you to:- 

·  Move off safely and under control on a gradient.

·  Use the MSM routine.

·  Check your blindspot for traffic and pedestrians.

·  Make balanced use of the accelerator, clutch, brakes and steering.

·  Use the appropriate gear.

·  Avoid rolling back.
