ok. after a long break because i was out of town and then had to wait a long long time for a Lesson 6 slot, i passed my lesson today.

 

Lesson 6 Summary and Key Pointers:

 

1. First you will be shown how to check the bike before going out on the road. From this point onwards you must always perform these checks before riding. Start engine, check headlights and tailights are working. check signal lights, check brake lights. check horn. make sure got fuel in the tank (quarter tank or more); check tyre condition for front and back. ONCE YOU ARE OUT ON THE ROAD YOU CAN'T CHANGE BIKE. so CHECK PROPERLY!

 

2. Then they bring you into the tent to brief. They will talk about how to negotiate different kinds of corners and junctions. Pay attention because it can be confusing and when you are on the road you won't have time to think "eh, this one is one row or two rows ah?'. You must act fast. See below for instructions.

 

3. Then they will ask you to go to your bikes. Not sure if its the same for all lessons, my lesson had 6 students and two instuctors - one at the back one in front

 

4. Once you start riding they stop teaching - unless you make a dangerous move or big big mistake (they will scold you!) otherwise, they won't guide you. You must do what you think is correct. No looking at them for their approving nods or anything.

 

5. They will bring you to their 'training route'. It is not the TEST route. It is a TRAINING route. Not sure if they always use the same route as i only had one chance to see it. The route is about 6km long. After exiting CDC turn right at Airport road then turn left at hougang avenue 3. Long straight stretch and then left turn at bartley road east then left at paya lebar road. from here they will turn left into the industrial area and go round tai sing avenue, tai sing link and then join back paya lebar road. its a left turn here. straight down turn left at airport road then right to go back to CDC. ONLY ONE ROUND.

 

6. During the ride, they are going to look for your correct safety checks, proper use of braking, signalling, lane changing, slowing down, speeding up, making quick decisions about when to stop and when to cut out speedily. They want to see that you know what to do on the road and not really looking to pinpoint silly little mistakes. They will fail you for dangerous riding and big mistakes but i think for small mistakes they will let it go. 6 of use in my lesson all passed although a few of them formed up wrongly at one junction and another fellow overtook me while turning at traffic light junction.

 

7. 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.

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.

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 groun. 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.

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).

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.
