The same doubt has been bothering me since I bought a new car in the last month. Thanks for your question and to the tips through the replies. I will practice all the three ways in non- traffic roads and will come back to yoy. Thank you.

Congratulations on having won the contest of driving on the slope - Actually, mastering the second step is good to go - Having done even the third step on quite a few occasions, I still resort to the second step for msot of the times and very rarely the third one.

Cheers,

K Prasad

Rajeev engage handbrake when you stop on a slope.When restarting engage 1st gear and release clutch and you will notice the car straining forward- now slowly release the handbrake.You wil never  again stall your engine.
Make sure to practice this a few times on a deserted road.
Good luck.

Even I am new to driving and facing the same problem. I live in bangalore and there is always a bumper-to-bumper traffic in the city during peak hours. Sometimes I had to stop in slopes and the vehicle just behind me is too close to my car. I tried to use the clutch balancing technique but I'm not 100% succeeding,.. sometimes my car rolls back and I get scoldings from the person who is behind me. Can anyone help me overcome such situations?

Thanks

Vijay
