If you are stopped on a hill, how can you start moving without rolling back?

When starting to move from a stop on a hill, engaging the clutch partially while releasing the brake is an effective technique that helps prevent the vehicle from rolling back. This process is commonly referred to as "finding the biting point." By partially engaging the clutch, you connect the engine to the wheels without fully engaging it, allowing the vehicle to begin moving forward without losing control.

Releasing the brake while at this biting point provides sufficient engine power to counteract the force of gravity. As the engine starts to engage and the vehicle begins to move forward, the driver can then continue to release the clutch gradually to proceed smoothly up the incline. This method is often recommended for manual transmission vehicles and helps maintain control during the transition from a stop to moving forward on an incline.

The other options do not effectively address the challenge of starting on a hill without rolling back. Accelerating quickly, for example, risks losing control, while shifting into neutral does not provide any engine power, leaving the vehicle vulnerable to rolling backward. Turning the wheel to the right may enhance steering control, but it does not assist with the momentum needed to move forward on a hill.
