Thanks guys :)

Word of advice, don't ever ever ever give up. I thought I committed 2 Immediate Failures, but I went on with confidence. But while waiting for results, I was feeling down... In the end passed.

All the best for the rest alright :)

Smooth wrists for the twists

u turned while green arrow blinked cost me 8 points + 2 points for turning wide as i had to turn fast (i thought i already passed the line before it started blinking but obviously the TP thought otherwise... this added to a few others like blind spot checks and abruptly changing lane gave me too man points.

Aiyo. What happened?

as more people pass they don't need to come back here for tips and help. after all, the majority of us came here for help. they will go on with their lives and we'll never see them again... UNTIL 2A. new batch can just read up the history (along with any mistakes we made in our posting LOL) and won't need to ask much. For hard working readers, everything (almost) you need to know to pass your TP is in these pages.

The Final Lesson...

 

So, i've tried my best to share my experiences and guide anyone who was willing to read for the CDC 2B course. I have come to learn through this few months that the course layout is different in CDC compared to the other school (e.g. sequence and path for figure 8 and crank).

 

I intend to read through my posts and correct my errors - i know i have made some mistakes and put them down as the correct procedure.

 

So i took and failed my TP once. Will be trying again (I hope). But i can share my experience and advice from what I went through - the final lesson (LOL)

 

When you book TP you will book for 7.15 am warm up and then 8.30 for the actual test. You MAY skip the warm up but must arrive by 7.45 to ensure you don't miss anything.

 

There will be a list of testees on the board. you check your bib number and collect your 'on test' bib.

you will be given a chance to warm up - in theory one round of the circuit but those who go out quickly might be able to squeeze in a second round.

 

You will be divided into groups of 5 according to numbers. lower to higher. foreigners get lower numbers followed by older to younger. so if you are old like me you get a low number (i was number 7). if you are in your mid twenties you will likely be around number 25 to 30 and if you are 19 you will be last... LOL

 

After that you will get a briefing and wait for the TPs to arrive. they should turn up by about 9.30.... give or take! so eat something before hand

 

The TPs will be given your documents (IC and PDL). they will ask you for your IC number (so if you don't know it by heart memorize it or you may get in trouble). They will then give you back your documents. I suggest you carry a water proof pouch or wallet or plastic bag in your pocket. I got caught in the rain and my paper documents were all completely damaged.. inluding my booklet which was previously nice and neat with only 15 lesson stamps (HAO LIAN ABIT CAN?). not that it helped. i failed, remember?

 

Then they will disperse and get ready to start the test. IT will be much like your lesson 8. All the bikes are in the center of the nursery. if you are early like me, there is a high chance you will get the bike you used for warm up. But thats not a given, so don't hold out for it.

 

You walk to your bike (make sure you have all your gear already on before you enter the nursery). Push it off the stand and start it. Do a quick check on the lights, signal, horn and brake lights. They would have been safety checked for the warm up anyway, but you should check the few key things. Most importantly make sure the headlights are on.

 

You will be asked the instructors on duty to move up to the start line (2 bikes, left right as per l8). For my TP the TP sitting at the blind junction corner was the one giving us our instructions to start. He will wave and you proceed as usual if its your turn (if you are #7 and #5 is next to you, it means its #5 turn, not yours!)

 

Check for traffic, (tip look behind you through the nursery to make sure no cars or bikes are about to turn left from the f8 area, they might appear in your right side out of nowhere). Check back right, check blindspot left and proceed out of nursery if it is clear (2 lanes, remember).

 

Check your mirror for traffic on the second land, signal right, check blindspot right an filter right. You will reach the blind junction, the TP would have been watching you the whole time if you are among the earlier ones (no one else to distract him). Don't forget, blind junction, stop before the stop line, inch forward. Check for traffic from all directions including the opposite filter lane. Remember, it may be TP but there will be learner cars on the circuit. If clear, check back right and turn right (no need to check two sides for right turn).

 

From the right lane, check your mirror for cars on the left lane, signal left, check blindspot left and filter. THE TP WILL BE WATCHING YOU LIKE A HAWK ALL THE WAY TO THE END OF THE ROAD BEFORE HE CALLS THE NEXT ONE TO START. Don't slack or lose contentration.

 

Off signal, as you reach the right hand bend, check your mirror, check blind spot right, and take the bend (do not brake while turning, 2 points). immediately after turning you will now be in the vision of the TP Sitting at the plank. Check for traffic on your right, signal right, check blindspot right and filter. Keep your signal on and proceed to turn right towards slope. There is a risk of wide turn here so be careful. Head towards slope, check ahead to see which side of the slope is occupied. Don't forget, you have to be left right left right. Check for oncoming traffic, be careful sometimes the learner cars at the traffic light signal left but they come straight!! Bust Turds!... then if clear, check your blindspot right and proceed to turn. Take the correct side of the slope. You must be in gear 2 as you proceed up the slope (Unless you were waiting at the foot of the slope). Stop before the line (signal in the direction of the curb to stop). Then check your mirror, signal away from the curb, keep your right foot on the brake, throttle up, find your biting point, THEN check back away from the curb, release brake and proceed half clutch to the top of the slope, release clutch and engine brake down change signal to the left and drag rear brake a bit. Stop before line at bottom. DO NOT INCH OUT. check for traffic coming from the right, check back away from curb proceed to turn left (if you are on the left curb, check back right then check blind spot left, 2 sided check here).

 

Remember to turn off your signal as soon as you complete your turn, else is wrong signalling as there is a left turn coming up. Pass that junction, check blindspot left before the bend (if you need to slow down do so before the bend, do not step brake while negotiating the bend). slow down for the pedestrian crossing even if it looks like no one is crossing. proceed straight - there will be a TP siting at figure 8, he will be watching you, if not timing someone on F8. slow down for the left turn, signal left, check blindspot left proceed to turn. Stop before the F8 entrance one row. IF there is a que and you must stop before the yellow box at F8 exit, it is 2 rows, left right left right.

 

Proceed to inch forward till you are at start of F8. Wait for the blinker. Check back right, check blind spot left, proceed to figure 8. Turn off signal after entering, proceed to do your turns... signal left before exit F8, stop before line. Here, no blinker. Go at your own pace but don't wait too long. Check ahead towards the exit of Crank. To see if there are bikes or cars there so you can plan ahead if you need to stop or change lane while inside the yellow box upon exiting.

 

Keep your signal on all the way through crank. As you reach the exit check for traffic, if non, proceed without stopping. make sure you turn left to the first left lane. if no bikes proceed straight, no need to filter right. If got bikes, signal right, check blind spot, filter right, after passing the bikes, signal left, check blind spot left and filter back left. Make left turn at traffic light. Remember, if you have to stop, its one line (make sure u r signalling left). If you are first bike at stop, check back right and left as you move off. If you are not first bike, check back right to move off then check blind spot before you turn.

 

Now you will be back passing nursery entrance, back to the first TP. Check ur right mirror, signal right and check blindspot right, filter right. Follow the same procedure as the starting point. Remember also, the TP will watch you if there is no other bike in front of you.

 

Proceed to turn right and filter left for your Plank. Don't forget your left side blind spot as you enter the plank waiting lane. Don't forget to off your signal when waiting to start plank.Inch forward, remember 2 bikes in a row at the start line. Wait for blinker. check back right and proceed with your plank. if not confident, go a bit fast take your 4 points. this is a common IF location so play safe unless you are ace in plank (i'm not!)

 

Stop after plank. Do not wait for signal from TP. move off without delay do your slalom. Don't forget your blind spot check at the end of slalom even if you are not moving out of the lane. If no car parked in the left lane, keep going straight, no need to filter right out to the road. If there is a car parked there, signal right, and filter out, then signal left, check blind spot and filter back into ebrake lane.

 

At ebrake, make sure you off your signal. Wait for blinker. Check back right, move off fast in 1st gear speed up, change to 2nd gear keep speeding up until you reach 30kmh+ then change to 3rd gear (do not speed up)... hold your speed, in fact you can turn down the throttle a bit as you cruise along... reach stopping zone, turn off throttle, squeeze front and rear brakes gradually, don't jam. squeeze front brakes all the way to come to stop, clutch in before you stop, left leg down, elbows locked looking straight ahead. these little things like elbow and looking down etc will attract points. Check back right, put your right foot down, change down to first MAKE SURE ITS FIRST AND NOT NEUTRAL. many bikes will be stuck at this place, so pump the clutch to make sure you move down to 1st). Check back left, put your left foot down, signal right, check back right, move off.

 

before the exit of the ebrake lane is double white line - do not cross it. the next line is a give way line, meaning no stopping unless there is traffic. Check back right while moving to see if there is traffic. Make sure 2 lanes are clear. If clear proceed to filter out. If not stop first.

 

After leaving the ebrake lane the TP WILL BE STARING AT YOU FROM EBRAKE STATION. he wants to check that you make a correct blind spot check to the right before you make the right turn at the end. do that and do not step brake as you negotiate the corner. keep ur signal on and rememeber to filter to the right lane at the motorcycle registration counter AS YOU HEAD FOR THE EXIT TO DO YOUR ROAD.

 

Remember - DO NOT PROCEED TO TURN RIGHT AND GO BACK TO NURSERY!!!

 

Also remember, there is a pedestrian crossing before you reach the exit - there will likely be pedestrians around. Be careful.

 

After this is proceed to ROAD CIRCUIT. They will tell you in the tent before you start which Route it is. Usually Route 1.

The TP Test Part 2 - Road

 

Ok. After completing your eBrake. You head for the exit - don't forget to change to the right hand lane before you reach the filter lane where the pedestrian crossing is. You must be in the right lane as you will be turning right later. Its wrong to change lanes in a filter lane, remember.

 

After passing the pedestrian crossing you signal right as you pass the lobby area. Take note if there are bikes ahead of you as you need to form up properly. If you are the first bike you are on the right if second bike on the left third bike on the right again etc.

 

Stop before the white line. Check for traffic. The TP is sitting directly opposite the exit slightly to your right. He can see you from the time you reach the gate before you turn out.

 

Check for traffic and when it is safe to turn proceed without delay. Check inwards (left if you are on the right and right if you are the left).

 

Proceed slowly. This road is very busy during TP hours. cars and lorries sometimes try to squeeze in even if there is a jam. TP won't care hor. Give way to others and let them go first.

 

Remember that form up is two bikes all the way until nearly reaching the traffic light. There is a row of motorcycle parking on the left as you get near the traffic light. As long as you haven't passed the last bike parking lot you continue to form up to rows. After you pass the last bike parking lot and signal right to turn at the traffic light, you must for up in one row on the right side next to the kerb. check away from the kerb and move off when the lights change. Be careful - this is a round light followed by arrow. Stay to the left of the middle of the intersection as there is no right turn pocket AND the nearest lane on the oncoming side is a straight plus left turn so cars will be going straight - stay to the left of the 'imaginary' center line. Also beware of the pedestrians crossing on the right side parallel to your lane. The TP is located diagonally opposite you on the right. So after you turn right he will be on your left.

 

After the right turn you will have to filter left. Usually there are cars parked on the left. So proceed past all of them then filter left. Don't forget your blind spot check on the left here. The TP will be sitting on the grass verge immediately after the filter lane left turn. It is a filter lane with give way line. Means you proceed without stopping with your left turn if traffic is clear. make sure there are 2 lanes clear before you turn.

 

After you turn, you must then immediately make a right lane change. Check your mirror, signal right, check blind spot and proceed to change lane. Continue on this lane until you reach the chevron markings on your left. At this point, check your mirror, signal right and proceed to change lane to the middle lane when traffic is clear, and then as you cross under the overhead bridge make the final lane change to the right most lane. Check your blind spot as you reach the turning point and continue to stay at the right most lane. All the way along this road if traffic is heavy and you need to stop is always 2 rows.

 

At the u-turn junction. Remember to check inwards when moving off and be careful. When the light is a round green light you must stop right after the your front wheel enters in between the pedestrian lines.. bike 45 degrees to the right. Check for oncoming traffic. if you are the second bike you must wait behind the white line. If traffic is clear proceed. If not, wait for the arrow to turn green. If you are the first few bikes you can proceed safely. Now, the arrow will stay green for about 8 to 10 seconds before it starts to blink. If you are a few cars or bikes behind you should ride slowly and let the light change to red. You don't want to get caught making the Uturn as it blinks. Its painful on the points!

 

For the u-turn, don't forget your blind spot check on the right - if you are doing it correctly you will be looking right by default (U turn u look where you wanna go, not in front of your wheel). Remember to stay within the white lines and not make a wide turn. Turn into the center of the middle lane.

 

Ok. home stretch. here, it can be tricky - you are supposed to lane change left and then after passing the small road on your left proceed to make your lane changes back to the right and the right most lane. On TP day it can be quite jammed here. On my TP day the right most lane was jammed all the way to nearly the end of the road where i just made the U Turn. so, you might have to lane change to the right lane immediately after completing your U turn and not make the left lane change as per normal. The TP will be sititing on the grass verge on your left after you complete your uturn. proceed to make your right turn followed by your left turn back into CDC area.

 

At the second last left turn outside CDC, there a green man pedestrian crossing. Remember to stop for pedestrians and then proceed after they pass. This one can catch you unawares because usually when we practice no pedestrians!.

 

Remember to only signal left after the last small road on your left when turning back into CDC. After turning in, signal right and change lane to the right and then immediately signal left but stay on the right of the right lane. This is a filter lane with give way line - so check for traffic and proceed to turn left into the first left lane when clear - no need to stop if no traffic. If you have to stop, remember to check back left away from the chevron markings. After turning left signal right immediately and check your blind spot and make the land change to the second lane immediately then proceed to turn right if clear. Then turn right again into the nursery. The instructor will tell you where to park your bike. Remember to get off and park it on the main stand before leaving the parking area.

 

All the best!!!

Proceed to turn right and filter left for your Plank. Don't forget your left side blind spot as you enter the plank waiting lane. Don't forget to off your signal when waiting to start plank.Inch forward, remember 2 bikes in a row at the start line. Wait for blinker. check back right and proceed with your plank. if not confident, go a bit fast take your 4 points. this is a common IF location so play safe unless you are ace in plank (i'm not!)

 

Stop after plank. Do not wait for signal from TP. move off without delay do your slalom. Don't forget your blind spot check at the end of slalom even if you are not moving out of the lane. If no car parked in the left lane, keep going straight, no need to filter right out to the road. If there is a car parked there, signal right, and filter out, then signal left, check blind spot and filter back into ebrake lane.

 

At ebrake, make sure you off your signal. Wait for blinker. Check back right, move off fast in 1st gear speed up, change to 2nd gear keep speeding up until you reach 30kmh+ then change to 3rd gear (do not speed up)... hold your speed, in fact you can turn down the throttle a bit as you cruise along... reach stopping zone, turn off throttle, squeeze front and rear brakes gradually, don't jam. squeeze front brakes all the way to come to stop, clutch in before you stop, left leg down, elbows locked looking straight ahead. these little things like elbow and looking down etc will attract points. Check back right, put your right foot down, change down to first MAKE SURE ITS FIRST AND NOT NEUTRAL. many bikes will be stuck at this place, so pump the clutch to make sure you move down to 1st). Check back left, put your left foot down, signal right, check back right, move off.

 

before the exit of the ebrake lane is double white line - do not cross it. the next line is a give way line, meaning no stopping unless there is traffic. Check back right while moving to see if there is traffic. Make sure 2 lanes are clear. If clear proceed to filter out. If not stop first.

 

After leaving the ebrake lane the TP WILL BE STARING AT YOU FROM EBRAKE STATION. he wants to check that you make a correct blind spot check to the right before you make the right turn at the end. do that and do not step brake as you negotiate the corner. keep ur signal on and rememeber to filter to the right lane at the motorcycle registration counter AS YOU HEAD FOR THE EXIT TO DO YOUR ROAD.

 

Remember - DO NOT PROCEED TO TURN RIGHT AND GO BACK TO NURSERY!!!

 

Also remember, there is a pedestrian crossing before you reach the exit - there will likely be pedestrians around. Be careful.

 

After this is proceed to ROAD CIRCUIT. They will tell you in the tent before you start which Route it is. Usually Route 1.

 

TO BE CONTINUED WITH CIRCUIT PROCEDURE
