shadowluva at which pract

[Shadowluva]

Pract 2. Going for third time soon. Sian.

[Jundeang]

Anyone got tips on how to change lane? I keep swerving abruptly.

 

I turn the handlebar only slightly right? If for example there's a car infront of me, do I change behind or after him? As in overtake first?

 

no need turn handlebar ba.. for me normally i just tilt the bike a little bit.. almost into the lane liao den straighten bike again..

all pracs cannot overtake, unless you are doing CR.

Try leaning your weight to the left/tilting the bike a little to change lane instead of turning the handle. Look far so you cover more distance when changing lane, perhaps it won't be so abrupt. All the best!!

 

Remember to check blind spot!

I'm thinking of learning 2b! Only problem is my height. :/

 

I'm standing at 155, it was a little tough but it got easier as it went by.

Try starting out with the bikes with shaven seats.

I think those are bike numbers that end with 0 or 9.

All the best!

Finally cleared prac 2. On to prac 3. I guess the more practice the better. .

anyone know prac 6? they do what ah? is otr right?

 

prac 6, first they teach u pre-riding check, den u pick ur bike and do- pre-ride check, den next 15-30mins sit down listen to all the theory; positioning, traffic signs etc. Then go on the road, usually the class no more than 6 persons and gt two instructors one front and one at the back. They observe whether u road hog (some ppl will have like 5 TIMES the normal following distance - most likely to fail), know how position and follow the signs all. will switch positions along the road, like maybe you are the 3rd bike, will move to the 1st bike. so they satisfied u can ride otr, den pass. gd luck

It's exactly like how triloza described. But for prac 6, its not a fixed route.. coz haven't learn u-turn so its only left and right turns.. you just follow the instructor in front.. IMO it's better to be the first few bikes.. lol.. Better yet, be the first bike behind the instructor! Coz can actually observe how instructor check blindspots/positioning.. Will be really useful during prac7.. but that's only in my opinion lahh..

During prac 7 then u follow the TP test route..

it's really different riding in circuit and otr. so yeah, i think wen they explain during the theory just listen very carefully and ask if you have any doubts. once u know the theory just apply it. and if u behind the instuctor, don always monkey see monkey do, cos sometimes they just go dash a traffic(den dey will see if u dash also) or didn stop behind stop line(especially at gates) to test weter u know, so think before you do. and don ride very slow, most likely to fail. just go fast according to traffic but keep safe following distance, gd luck

Oh yeah, that's very true. You can observe etc but make sure you know what you're doing.. especially forming up.. (like behind yellow box you form up 2 rows etc) & don't be afraid to go up Gear 5! Feel the wind!! hahah Don't be too tensed up.
