SSDC Class 2B (2014)

[sydarume]

Hi guys, not been on this forum for awhile. I passed my 2B TP test in April 2014. It was the first time I took it and cleared it with 8 points. I did a video on the road route for 2B riders (used a GoPro on my car). Will upload it on youtube once I get the opportunity to edit it. I will include some tips on what to look out for in the video. Let me know if anyone is interested in this and I'll do it as soon as I can. I can do it on my motorbike so you can have a good idea of what it's like; if you guys want.

 

As for Lesson 7 with a 90% failure rate is simply not true. The instructors are not out to fail you. For my Lesson 7, half of my group passed. I passed it the first time because I got all my blindspots and checking back squared away. I did 3 circuit revisions before L7 and no road revision. Don't lose points for safety checks. I've seen many people unsure of which direction to turn your head. You have to do your homework and remember what they teach you.

Love that idea of making video for the learners like us.gotta start to get use to turning my head,hehe

Within courses such as S course you have to use brake.

 

Assuming S course is Fig 8, i got demerit points in L7 just because i used my brakes.After that,the instructor told me that i cant use brake while negotiating bends or cornering.I still got the score sheet as prove.

The demerit point fall under E18. Brake when negotiating bend / turning.

 

And its possible to clear Fig 8 without brakes.Cause after i failed that L7,i went for a few circuit revisions and now i can clear Fig 8 without brakes.

Sure you can. On a light 2B school bike, pretty much anything is doable. But how about next year when you come back for 2A? The heavy S4 doesn't respond well to insufficient throttle, and throttling too much on an S4 will send you up the kerb. I did my 2B S course without rear brake too, and felt proud about it. Until of course I went back for 2A, and realised why the school teaches us to use the rear brake in the narrow courses. The rear brake is essential if you need to control a big, powerful bike in a narrow space.

 

You can do things your own way for 2B, with a light, weak bike. You can even turn the bike by simply leaning left or right. I would however advise that you get the techniques right while learning, otherwise all the bad habits that you pick up now will come home to roost next year when you return to take your 2A, on a far less forgiving bike.

 

And your instructor is talking about bends on the road. SSDC teaches its students to use rear brakes on all it's courses except crank, where its possibly optional.

Actually you don need to use rear brake for the S course. All you need to do is to release the throttle slightly. When you are nearly completing and about to exit, just release fully, signal and BS.

Any tips for TP test. I am having mine on 15 may.

hi im new here =)

been wondering if its possible to take practical lesson 1 without having done BTT or have to wait until i clear it cuz i saw somewhere that u can do practical lessons in the circuit while need to pass BTT to get PDL to go on the road .. please advice tnx

yup... if i did not remember wrongly, u can still take lessons till lesson 5 ? forgot which is road....

u need to pass ur btt to get the PDL then only can lesson on roads...

Ya you can take prac 1 - 4. After circuit assessment (prac 4), you will need to have your PDL to go for lesson 5 and above

All right, tnx for the quick replies!!

Unfortunately, PDL is compulsory from Lesson 1 onwards.

 

The instructors are so strict that even if you have a valid PDL and did not bring it along during the lesson, you will not be allowed to attend that particular lesson.

how many times did u fail ?

[Viagraman]

how many times did u fail ?

 

This is my first try

[Dal]

This is my first try

 

 

first time and wanna appeal ? i had a friend who took tp 9 times and in the end gave up...

[Dhul Qarnayn]

Are theory lessons free? It says walk in lessons so I'm assuming that u don't need to book them but my receipt shows my enrolment fees is inclusive of 4 theory lessons... I'm confused 😕

Dont think can appeal for failed TP test....

2B is tough cos of road and circuit test , do practice more within 2 months of waiting for next TP.

wah time flies man... remember seeing you post about lessons suddenly failed TP already.

 

im still at L7, 2 months never bother to go for any revision... LOL

 

going for RR later though, 6:10pm, lost interest in 2B already, but since im near the end, might as well finish it.

L7 is far easier than TP test. Goodluck

hah! i failed twice, 24 and 32 points, almost 90% from circuit. those damn blindspots...

 

instructors always ask me if im waiting for TP after seeing me ride on the road, but when they see me in circuit, all facepalm.

Passed my TP today!

[Dal]

Passed my TP today!

 

 

congrats & ride safely...

[nsr1980]

Good job Bro!

Passed my TP today!
