Hey, although I'm not from BBDC, hopefully I can answer your
questions.
1) It depends on the curvature of the road, but if its a right turn
or left turn, definitely need to signal. If you following the
curvature of the road, no need. Also, whilst turning right or left,
need to check blindspots etc.
2) This I cant answer, sorry.
3) If bump kerb in circuit is still counted as immediate failure,
unless you are doing parking or directional change. That if im not
wrong will minus 8 or 10pts. Cant recall. Just try your best not to
hit the kerb because will reflect badly on you since circuit is
pretty much a "controlled" environment. "Controlled" means like the
traffic flow is still quite alright and usually TP cars have
priority. Instructors will usually ask their students to avoid TP
cars, so yeah.
4) For me personally, It took around 5minutes in the circuit (CDC)
and for road, another 8 - 10minutes. Actually if you are confident
and safe, everything will be finished around 15minutes. In circuit,
its just a routine for you again, just that theres a passenger
beside you. So yeah, stay calm can finish within 5minutes. Be wary
of new learner cars in the circuit though, usually 1st timers will
have their headlights on (for CDC) so avoid them if possible. Road
wise, for me the TP emphasised heavily on watching out for
Pedestrians and Lane Change (I could tell because he was not
discreet in keeping a look out for Pedestrians crossing). He didnt
bother about the minor mistakes like stopping car lengths away or
wide turn etc. So yeah. Depends on your TP.
Well, good luck for the test, I believe you can pass if you drive
safe. Just have to prove it to other people that you are safe. :0
