When pulling away on a hill, 'afslaan' means the engine stalls; you must prevent that, just like rolling back. When pulling away on a hill you must prevent the car from either rolling backward or 'afslaat' — in Dutch this means the engine stalling, not turning the wrong way.
Correct answer: The engine stalls
Why learners get this wrong: When the book says you must prevent the car from 'afslaat' during a hill start, it means you must not turn in the wrong direction.
Correct answer: The handbrake; The throttle; The clutch pedal
Why learners get this wrong: During a hill start it is enough to use only the handbrake well; the throttle and clutch matter less.
Correct answer: False
Why learners get this wrong: The only real risk during a hill start is the car rolling back; a stalling engine is not dangerous, just annoying at most.
Correct answer: You release the handbrake only once throttle and clutch hold the car
False — you rely mainly on one control. Pulling away on a hill needs well-coordinated use of the handbrake, the throttle and the clutch pedal; none of the three is secondary
Why learners get this wrong: The only real risk during a hill start is the car rolling back; a stalling engine is not dangerous, just annoying at most.
Correct answer: Handbrake, throttle and clutch pedal, all three together
False — you treat one control as enough. Pulling away on a hill needs well-coordinated use of the handbrake, the throttle and the clutch pedal; none of the three is secondary
Why learners get this wrong: When pulling away on a hill you only use the throttle and clutch; the handbrake is only meant for when you park the car.
