BBDC - Anyone Taking 2B There?

[xue ling]

Not easy ah~ The lane change to the U-turn spot is 3-lane lane change, and the cars all drive so fast, very scary~ Really had to full trottle. Then when it came to the U-turn, there were so many oncoming cars!!! It's not easy to see whether there's still cars approaching or not. After U-turn, gotta full trottle and do lane change again. The new test route applied on 1st May, and since then, there had been quite a few cases of accidents already, cos a lot of trainees not used to checking mirror b4 lane changing, by the time they realise there's a car next to them, it's too late.

 

I went for RR a few times b4 my TP, believe it or not, 2 of the RRs, the lot of us only managed to do U-turn twice at the new U-turn spot. Such a waste of time and money~ First, gotta wait in line for our turn, when it's our turn, gotta wait for the road to be clear, after that, had to wait for everyone to gather. Wait wait wait... money and time wasting RRs.

 

The instructors said that, a lot of ppl failed cos of abrupt lane change and causing the traffic to slow down. The new route may be shorter, but's it's definitely not easier. To seasoned riders, lane changing lah, U-turn lah, may be easy peasy, but to the trainees, it's scary~

This new test road seen easy at first, but lane changing at a 70km/h road for trainee like us does seen to be a bit scarely at first. I got 4 pts for lane change abruptly on the mini expressway during the tp test. I remember one of the instructor told us is that before turn out to the filter lane make sure the middle and right is clear of traffic then exit, so when you lane change you won't traffic coming to you at full speed when you lane change.

 

maybe the new test route is to train the trainees to check their mirrors and blindspots more often. when u are on the expressway, it's a total different story. cars will show their 101 kinds of pattern. by checking the mirrors frequently, u can expect what's coming from the back and anticipate where to move next if the vehicle in front shows some stupid patterns.

We r required to change lane after turning out from the filter lane, from 3rd lane change to 1st lane. Then, after the traffic light, just go line up for u-turn. Both the lane change had to really trottle, else car might bang bang us.

open throttle and look where you're going, go with confidence. Hesistation will cause you to be a hazard.

u dunno how to fully utilize ur mirrors, it's helping me alot. that's why so many sp, krr and tzm riders like to install those foldable mirrors. no offence.

Never meet red light at that junction so far, hehehe... Now that u ask, I dunno leh, I guess have to stop behind the cars loh. Cos intructions is always, never to squeeze beside the cars mah. Even though I have passed, I don't think I would squeeze beside / between cars so soon, scared scared u know? I would ride behind cars for a while first, but then again, I haven't gotten myself a bike, so talk so much dunno for what. Hahaha....

That was my problem too, gotta follow intructors' instruction, it works for me, they said to use more rear brake when u going to stop instead of jamming on the front brake. Jamming on the front brake would cause the bike to wobble and your right foot would give high 5 to the floor.

 

There's plenty of time till your TP, if u r not confidence in the u-turn, go for RC and ask the instructor for U-turn practice. Or go for SP to practice only on the u-turn. Jia you o~
