    Hi,

    I am booked to do the test in a few weeks and unfortunately the only car available to take it in is one with an electronic handbrake and hill hold.

    I don't like using it but I am trying my best to learn as I learned on a traditional handbrake set up.

    Does somebody know what happens in the test with these cars? What you have to do and not do?

    You will have it easier. You can use the electronic handbrake with hill hold no problem, this takes away any worry with rolling back and just leaves you having to worry about observation. I would say that you should practise as much as you can using this automatic handbrake and hill hold to be as comfortable as possible.
