The rules in this scene
Hold the car on the handbrake
The footbrake holds the car while you press it. Use the parking brake to secure the car when moving your foot to the accelerator. The clutch alone cannot hold it safely.
Look all round before moving off
Before moving off, check the mirrors, then look over your right shoulder. Mirrors alone miss the blind spot.
A smooth hill start
Find the biting point and add some gas before you release the handbrake. Then the car won't roll or jump.
