[QUOTE="Tough Guy, post: 1348502, member: 47811"] I would agree with the person who said to start in 2nd gear. I would however, ask the sup BEFORE you start the test, if they object to you using 2nd instead of first. The sup I toed with said to "do whatever you have to do to demonstrate you can drive this thing" (safely of course) . However at driving school, they wanted us to demonstrate proper shifting through all the gears. So I would practice in the yard, coming out of a stop from 2nd gear instead of first, and try applying that to your next road test, if you're sup doesn't mind. Naturally, if you're at a stop, and you're on any kind of upward hill or incline, you HAVE to come out of a stop in 1st gear, since 2nd won't let you get enough momentum, and you'll stall. Never forget that. [/QUOTE]
