During a driving lesson you are stopped on a hill in Apeldoorn. Your instructor says: 'Make sure the car does not "afslaan" here.' What do you pay attention to when pulling away?
- That you do not accidentally steer the wrong way
- ✓ That the engine does not stall while the clutch comes up
- Only that you do not roll back; stalling does not matter
Correct answer: That the engine does not stall while the clutch comes up
Explanation
False — you read 'afslaan' as changing direction. When pulling away on a hill, 'afslaan' means the engine stalls; you must prevent that, just like rolling back
Why learners get this wrong
- Wrong: you read 'afslaan' as changing direction. When pulling away on a hill, 'afslaan' means the engine stalls; you must prevent that, just like rolling back
- Wrong: you see rolling back as the only risk. On a hill you prevent the car from rolling back and the engine from stalling; take both equally seriously
