You must be able to move off under control, including on a slope or hill (gradient), from behind a parked vehicle and at junctions.
Any mistakes you make in this area will be counted under the ‘Move off - Control’ fault on your driving test result.
Stalling and rolling back when trying to move off
When you move off at a green traffic light or during a hill start, you stall the car and roll back a considerable distance.
Repeatedly stalling when moving off
Throughout your test, you repeatedly stall the car when you try to move off.
Stalling repeatedly when moving off on one occasion
On one occasion during your test, when you move off you repeatedly stall because of things like being in the wrong gear or poor clutch control. This results in the driving examiner giving you guidance.
Trying to move off without selecting a gear and then rolling back
When you try to move off, you do not select a gear. This then causes the car to roll back a considerable distance.
