How can you start moving without rolling backward?

To start moving without rolling backward, it is important to manage the vehicle's movement effectively when starting on an incline. Engaging the clutch while simultaneously handling the brake and throttle is a technique that helps prevent rollback.

The correct choice involves putting on the parking brake as a safety measure to hold the vehicle in place on an incline. By engaging the clutch before removing your foot from the brake, you can release the brake and smoothly apply power without the risk of the vehicle rolling backward. Additionally, using the hand valve helps with maintaining control, particularly in vehicles with air brakes. This combination allows for a controlled transition from a complete stop to starting without rolling back.

In this scenario, other methods may not provide the same level of control and safety. Simply engaging the clutch and accelerating does not address the potential of the vehicle rolling back, especially on a slope. Putting the parking brake on while applying gas does not facilitate a smooth transition to movement and could lead to complications when trying to release the brake. Shifting into a lower gear while releasing the brake may not provide adequate control, particularly if the vehicle is on a slope and could result in backward movement if done incorrectly. Thus, using the method outlined in the correct choice is crucial for ensuring a safe and effective start
