stupid question

[muzzyfuzzy]

To put simply, if ur going straight(plank, e brake, slope) its check back right once, only for slope ( Check away from the kerb) check back twice i think maybe ur referring to where there is a stop line, where you have to stop before the stop line and check back again before you inch out. and as for prac 5 just remember when changing lanes always go to the nearest lane first, and then change lane to the next lane if you have to, also, be weary of ur turning, you can get penalized for wide or sharp turning, also they assign who gets to go first by the number tag that you took in ascending order, so its up to your discretion(on the day of my prac 5 i picked number 12, passed on the first attempt), also for prac 5 during the evaluation , its one row when going into the fig 8, after the small yellow box you form two rows and don't forget to switch your headlight to number "2" when you mount on ur bike and start the engine hope this helps bro.!

 

thanks bro for the informative help. but just to clarify, so if at stop before stop line with that wall, is check back both side then inch forward, then check back both side again then move off? and for both the stop before fig8 and the stop right before crank course, is check back both side since im turning left into the fig8/crank?

[Adrik smirnov]

no bro, for the blind wall :

 

1)stop before the stop line

2)check back right

3)inch out

4)if turning right check right, turning left check right left

5)proceed in the direction that you are turning

 

yup what you mentioned about the fig 8/crank course is correct! also when going into the figure 8, after you change to gear two don't forget to turn off ur left signal, and then when you are about to complete the fig 8 course, you should signal left when you are about to come out of the fig 8, crank course you can leave your left signal on , crank course no instruction so just proceed if no one is inside and you do not need to inch out at the slope area..

thanks for the detailed help! but actually for test route no need turn left at blind wall right? only need to turn left at the slope stop line when coming down if i recall correctly... and for crank course when coming out of it nobody blocking your way just check left and turn out like usual left turn right?

[Adrik smirnov]

yeah, but you have to make sure that there are no oncoming vehicles coming from ur right, before you check ur left blindspot ..

i think u don understand check back..hmm. check back right, is BEFORE u move off from a stationary position. u only check RIGHT LEFT when u stationary, and want to turn left. check back right, (for moving off) den left for blind spot. theres no such thing as check back right left. its check back right and a left blindspot. so if ur turning right from stationary, don check back right left. they will say anyhow check, 2points. and yes. for figure 8, since ur stationary and turning left, check right left. but when u jus start out at stop line, turning right, don check left. hope this explains ur queries.

 

sometimes i think alot depends on which instructor u kena. that time the first time i took prac 2, the instructor jus say check what check what. i used memorising powers to try to pass. but failed. 2nd time kena a good one. he explain why we must check back and for what reason..

 

so conclusion is: 1) moving off from stationary - only check back right. 2) turning right, check right. 3) turning left, check left. so if ur stationary and want to turn left, check back right, den left blindspot. if ur stationary and want to turn right, check back right before move off can liao. (considered as checked right blindspot also). stationary want move straight, check back right.

couldn't have said it better, but bro, muzzy thats basically it..

[muzzyfuzzy]

ah i see....ok i have a clearer picture now. basically only turning left need to check left (blindspot) la. any other thing like covering up space while queuing up, moving off from stationary position, is only check back right.

[Adrik smirnov]

alright, all the best bro, when in doubt don't be afraid to ask the instructors bro, they are there for a reason =)

[Wonderless]

ya.. don be afraid to ask them. anything u don unds, even the most stupid questions, also jus ask. it will aid u in the long run.

[muzzyfuzzy]

alright. thanks so much for both of your help. now i'm kinda stuck at prac5 cause my last theory lesson is scheduled on 4th oct. dunno whether to clear prac5 asap or just take my time if not next time come back take prac6 onwards i think will be super rusty.

[Wonderless]

haha same like u. enrolled on july 30. i cleared prac 5 before sept.. now got 2 months break.. RTT 28OCT. haha. i think jus clear, den go CR lo. $10 only. haha.

circuit evaluation; and after which you either do pillioning or circuit revision at your own discretion.

hey iam doing prac 8 qt the same timing tmr

[knucklehead]

shadowluva - you're a lady ehh? aiyaa tot you're a guy .. ahaha .. saw several ladies on TW200 bfo .. but that is like in west side.

 

wonderless - oh . my students also from TP. their SIP ending in 2 weeks, that's why i ask. heeee! 5.5day work week? wahh jialat lei like that. hopefully you gain good experience from your SIP. better than me, my attachment only fold boxes haha !

 

btw, i would wanna chip in about the safety checks . please dont confuse safety checks with blindspot. blindspot means blindspot, you wanna turn left or right, REMEMBER check blindspot. but if you are making a left turn from stationary position, remember to do your SAFETY CHECK, which is to check back right, then only you check your left blindspot.

 

as long as from stationary going to move off = Safety Check.

turning left or right, or at bends = Blindspot.

 

IMO this helps for me. no need to remember at this wall or that wall or after slope need to check blindspot at where. hee !
