bro/sis, still thinking about what instructor said to me today .. what is the exact order of things that should be done before making a turn from a standstill?

 

ok let's say i'm making the first right turn after proceeding from the test start point. do i:

(1) check back, check left, check right, then move off; or

(2) check left, check right, check back, check right again, then move off; or

(3) something else?

 

i know it's not supposed to be a question asked by someone going to do prac8, but no one has told me that the way i check blindspots is all wrong before not sure how come he passed me prac 7 today, but after hearing his comments, i'm thankful he did.

first, lemme get this clear to u... check back = either checking on ur right OR left..

 

for RIGHT turns, its always checking back to the RIGHT side ONLY!

for LEFT turns, its checking back to the LEFT AND RIGHT BOTH!!

 

im saying this becoz, take an instance for ur Figure-8 and crankcourse, b4 u enter in, u'll need to check back to ur RIGHT AND LEFT(ur making a left turn inside..thats y).

 

so the first right turn after the test start point, u check back to ur.....? hope u get it =)

huh? so turn left into fig8 is check left then check right? or check right then check left?

 

sry bro, i still don't understand. hope u don't mind explain in more detail? i always thought check back means check behind you .. and is different from checking left/right blindspots? ah so confused. sry plz help!

yes checking behind u...either on the right or the left.

u really are confused...haha. its k...

blindspot is for checking while ur on the move...like for changing lane or

before making turns.

 

Checking back is for checking while ur stationary. Hope u get the difference?

 

huh? so turn left into fig8 is check left then check right? or check right then check left?

yup for LEFT turns, while ur stationary, u will need to check RIGHT then LEFT. Im not particularly sure if it's a difference between RIGHT LEFT or LEFT RIGHT...check with the instructor in case.

jus remember, when ur making turns when ur STATIONARY(Provided ur the first vehicle to do the turn), u always check BOTH left and right.

thk u v. much bro! i think i understand now! thk u thk u!

Finally passed prac 1 last wednesday, yesterday took my prac 2. took the first session, was raining! =[[ the rider infront of me skidded and fall sideway while making the left turn at traffic light heading to the wall junction.

due to the area there is being blocked by walls. u will be required to chck right den inch out abit..

 

at the moment if u are turning left check the traffic at main street tat is clear, check right den left den move off...

 

if you are turning right den inch out den check traffic (clear) den check back right move off..

 

during rainy days try not to make sudden movement.. and allow a longer braking distant..

 

hope this help...

[ahmad0410]

Aha. okay. one question. first bend after the wall junction, i need to change from left to right lane. but one time, i wanna change to right lane, that lane full of cars already. i was forced to squeeze beside one car.

 

annyway to overcome that?

this is one scenario i really hate...

if u see alot of cars, dun need to change lane from left to right after the bend... u must change the lane before the bend...ALWAYS LOOK FAR. thats wat the tip was from the instructor who told me.

 

once in prac 8, i failed due to immediate failure as i had changed lane after the bend, when the cars were all together in one straight lane...i had to cut one car... i dint realise it was an immediate failure until my lesson ended..

 

ask more qns from ur instructor if ur in doubt dude! =)

[leonhart]

Hey, is it possible to apply for tp when im only like prac 5?.

[knucklehead]

no .

 

can ONLY book TP after you PASS prac 8 .

[heyjezza]

wonder how bhh prac8 went ... mine didn't go so smoothly imm. failure coz leg came down. thought instructor would close one eye since everything else was ok .. but nope. even if i got 12pts, still 1 immediate failure.

[knucklehead]

leg come down, depends on where. your right leg or left leg fall? where?

 

during my TP , my right leg came down, RIGHT INFRONT of TP's EYES ... but i kena point for wobbling when moving off and stopping, which was the reason why my right leg fell uhs. so during practs i believe it's more stricter.

 

frankly, i gave up during TP coz i just came out from the starting point then right leg fell. thankfully, passed with low points. kekeke ...

 

jia you !

[heyjezza]

right leg came down at right turn on road .. coz i inch inch inch .. then befoer i know it, unstable, right leg came down .. think i too fat .. centre of gravity thrown off way too ezily .. must .. stop .. eating .. mee .. rebus .. everytime .. i .. go .. cdc ....

[leonhart]

no .

 

can ONLY book TP after you PASS prac 8 .
