You're thinking of getting an SP? You won't regret it!

 

On 2nd thought I might just stick to scramblers..... My life on bikes before getting a license has been on scrams and kubs hahaha! I can safely say I haven't tried a 2 stroker yet.

Lesson 6 Summary and Key Pointers:

 

The important things to remember.

a) usual safety checks but remember the exceptions - if you are stopped at a kerb which is on the RIGHT and you are the RIGHT hand bike, you must check back to the left (away from the kerb) when moving off.

 

I don't get it. What/which kerb are you referring to?

 

b) traffic lights - to turn left, as per what you do in circuit when you did your lesson 5 to turn left after figure 8. but for right turn, pay attention to what kind of light it is. If round green light with no right turn arrow, if you are all waiting at red light, when the light turns green, only ONE bike is to move into the turn. the rest stay behind the stop line. IF there is a right turn arrow (and it is not lighted) then 2 bikes can enter the turn but the rest stay behind the stop line (regardless if there is a right turn pocket or not). Once the right arrow goes green, everybody proceed as normal with safety and blind spot checks. If the right turn arrow is red, you all stay behind the stop line. If you are approaching the lights and the right turn arrow starts to blink, and you are behind the stop line, you STOP. If you are over the stop line already, you proceed. no running the blinker or the yellow lights please.

 

I think I'm beginning to finally understand what is going on here. So, you proceed into the turn, not depending on whether there is a right turn pocket or not, but have to look at the traffic light, isn't it?

 

c) lane behaviour. this is a bit tricky. for most of the ride, you observe forming up as what you do in the circuit. i.e. single directional arrow on the road you form up in 2 lines, if two directional arrow (e.g. straight and left turn) you form up in 1 single line. There are exceptions to this rule. firstly if you are turning at a traffic light junction, you for single file inside the yellow box/turn junction but behind the stop line you form up based on arrows on the ground. secondly, when you are going into a filter lane, regardless of arrows on the ground, only single row. here's the tricky part - NOT ALL LEFT TURN LANES ARE FILTER LANES! some are normal left turn lanes. If filter lane you form up one line only, if normal lane you form up based on arrows on the road. How to tell if its a filter or normal left turn lane? If its a filter lane, there will be a give way line on the ground, if its a normal turning lane there will usually be a stop line on the ground. you need to act accordingly. if you trace the route i gave you above before you go for your lesson you can memorize where are the stop lines, where are the filter lanes etc etc. then you won't have to think about too many things during the ride.

 

"There are exceptions to this rule. firstly if you are turning at a traffic light junction, you for single file inside the yellow box/turn junction but behind the stop line you form up based on arrows on the ground."

 

Sounds very tricky. So, if everyone is turning right, do we form up single row or depends on the arrows on the ground?

 

d) when you exit cdc it is a single right turn arrow so you form up 2 rows. here is a common mistake - the bikes on the right of these 2 rows before exiting CDC must check back to the left (because there is a kerb on the right).

 

Kerb?? :?

 

e) instructor told us the turn our heads back more then just 90 degrees when checking back and blind spot checking.

 

f) finally when returning to CDC, you will be entering the nursery from the little filter lane opposite the blind junction - remember your circuit, there is a blind junction with a lane directly opposite? as you enter CDC, you must signal RIGHT to change lane to the right of this filter lane heading towards the blind junction. after you are in the right lane you must immediately signal LEFT because that lane is a left turn lane. As soon as you enter the main road from this lane you must immediately signal RIGHT and change lane to the right lane and proceed to turn into the nursery entrance.

 

g) added in as i forgot this - observe bus lane restrictions if you are doing your lesson 6 at 6.50pm session - the lane is in operation. if you do 8.40 session don't need to change lane to avoid the bus lanes.

- when you are turning it always depends on the arrows on the ground. but at a traffic light, if you are the first (or second) bike when the green round light comes on you are supposed to inch forward into the right turn pocket or yellow box to make the tern. inside this area you must be single line of 2 bikes not side by side like you are before you inch forward.

 

KERB. Bro when you exit CDC onto the main road outside... there is a kerb after the gate lah... thats what i'm talking about. AND when you are turning right at some of the traffic lights there is a divider on your right (road divider you behave same as kerb).

Hmm.. Okay, before exiting CDC, if you are stopped at a kerb which is on the RIGHT and you are the RIGHT hand bike, you must check back to the left (away from the kerb) when moving off, but, what if you are the LEFT hand bike? Do the LEFT hand bike need to check back right and left as well? Or the LEFT hand bike needs to check back right only?

Posted

And when you are out on the road and forming up 2 rows to turn right when there is a divider on your right same thing. Left bike check right and right bike check left

I have seen one guy at cdc with a modular helmet. Not sure it is for classes. you ride scrambler before the course must be a breeze for you.

I doubt they'll fault you for wearing gear thats more protective. Still.. best to check with the instructors.

Never let someone else's irrational fears hold you back.
