[aRcHeR]

okay archer....but CR no instructor check right??then how do we know if the procedure is correct??

 

Hmm and just wanna ensure this....if i want to go to plank is signal left right then check left blindspot then go queue at plank right...but if want to go plank got right bend....instructor got said that must check right blindspot for bend....but issit complusory for if i wanna go to plank at the left???

 

tip of the day, signal where = check that side for blindspot.

 

PS: above tip only applicable while on the move. if moving off from stop, the mandatory check back(RIGHT SIDE) will apply.

hi.. if im nt wrong, its signal left when u go into the q, but once u are in the q off ur signal light, else its 4 pts. then, just check right blindspot before u move fr every postion in the q up till plank.

 

i did both my evaluation in heavy rain, flunked twice, haha, so i guess if u say its raining, im doomed, bc my 3rd attempt is ltr today.. haha..

I think raining won't be a big obstacle. Maybe your brain makes you think that "omg omg, its raining. everywhere is slippery, i'm going to fail". Same as the plank "omg omg, i'm going to be next. i'm so nervous, what if i wobble and fall". Be confident. I passed my practical 8 in the rain too. Good Luck.

actually, for me, its nt really the mindset... bc when it rains it becomes inconvenient... im short, so i have to tip toe and its really slippery, plus, the pants they provide, usually oversized for me, so no matter how i fold or tuck in, always dragging around after a while so it sucks when i gear change...

 

but luckily, 3rd attempt today , raining as usual, but i passed... * phew *

 

they didnt provide me with road maps for the tp route... so for pract 6 just follow?

[aRcHeR]

[ithunk]

arrgghhh....cant even get a single chop on wednesday practical 1....damn....taking a rest first....will be attending theory lesson first....

[aRcHeR]

we never said it was easy getting a chop..

 

even for 2a and 2..

[ithunk]

HAHAHA! Prison break indeed!

 

A word of warning to those with sensitive skin... I wore it during a lesson last week and I came home with red dots all over my arms (where the raincoat was in direct contact with my skin) which lasted 2 days la. I even showered with anti-bacterial soap right after I got home and I still got the spots. And not to mention, the coats stink! Bleargh!

 

yes the coat....the helmet the pads all stink.....learning to drive is so much easier.....but due to the rising cost of coe...which is now 30k....getting a bike license as a backup will be good....

[ithunk]

ok thanks for the encouragement guys....lol....i tell the instructor im a safe driver....then he tell mi ride u bang car....then u bang tree...then u bang people....i was thinking like wat the....maybe its true im not proficient enough....i think i take on a weekend...weekday is like after work....so yeah abit tired....so taking on weekend in the morning where my mind is fresh will be good...

whether you are safe driver or not, it's not supposed to come out from your mouth.

 

it defeats the purpose..

HAHA. The pants is very long! Practical 6 is something like practical 7, but they turn left and go one big round instead of u-turning. I think when you passed practical 4, instructor gave you a map for practical 5. Two pages, front and back. For practical 6, just follow all the way. Anyway passing always feel good!

it will not be tested, instead it's just a round at circuit to give you the feel of having someone behind you

( pardon my drawing ).. if im vehicle c turning right, do we still have to give way to b when we are in fact turning into different lanes? and if they are all stopping there to turn into their slopes, can c proceed? wanna be really sure abt this before i go onto the road.. million thanks...

just ensure that B has crossed more than half of the vehicle over the line, then you may proceed to cross the junction.

 

if all else fail, just wait until the right turn arrow comes on before moving off, unless both oncoming lanes really no traffic then you are bound to be marked for points.

going for my prac 5 again tomorrow....
