douglas ?

joeacid SG

wooh! Shocked where u went for ur session?

mhcampboy SG

i tot u failed ur theory? Confused

joeacid SG

Hmm... i think we shld leave the rpm to them~ let them try out themselves or listen to what his instructor got to say~ Its all about feelings isn't it? hehe

joeacid SG

Hmm... oh yes there's one~ ASK!!!! Ask whatever things u dunno immediately~ dun act garang! scare of one thing and tries to aviod is one very wrong thing to do! ASK ANYTHING IMMEDIATELY!!!! Even if ur instructor scream until like the whole car is falling apart(I've met one b4), juz ask whatever u dunno~

I know its kinda hard to control the clutch(Biting Point) at 1st, but slowly u'll learn de~ Dunno keep ur eyes on the gear or at ur legs~ always look infront!
Have the habit to glancing at ur rear mirror and side mirror when u turn. ALWAYS check ur blind spot when u go out on the road. (I have experience of almost crushing into a bike when i'm changing lane).

Every car has a different biting point, but the feeling of getting to the biting point is the same. As long as u're sure of the technique to getting the biting point, u wun have to ask "where" is the biting point le~

Hmm... that's all i can think of now~ anything juz pm me~ i juz passed recently, so i'm still quite fresh~ Btw, i passed from BBDC~ gonna go back and thanks my instructors next week when i'm free Mr. Green

hmm, i think my problem lies wif the petrol pedal part. when starting off, my foot tend to go up and down.. hard to maintain steadily at 2 - 2.5rpm(instructed)..

haiz, hopefully my next lesson would be much much better.. wanna clear wif as little $$$ as possible.. Evil or Very Mad

for manuel driving ,good to pratice on a stationery car to cordinate hand and legs movements.if not do it at home using a chair ,3 pedals and a handle.for idling rpm it should be 1000.not to high waste pertol. not to low engine . step on pertol petal lightly, checked wheather car will move during idling when brake is not applied.checked the km now .decided how much pressure to step on pertol pedal

digicharat SG

every lesson, my instructor will put a cup of water on the cup holder. and said if i spill it, he will fail my session. Sad

Itachi SG

tofushop193 SG

alba SG

how do u get rid of the fear of banging on people, or trees or things , building? in the circuit while driiving so scary so many ppl walking past, imagine if i am on the real road driving how to get rid of fear of banging other car or ppl? how do u overcome? thanks

digicharat SG

you know your instructor can brake for you if you are too cock up right?

Itachi SG

i tink mine dun haf leh.. din notice there's extra pedal..

Disappointment SG

Better wear thin sole shoes to get the feeling on the accelarator and the clutch pedal. Can feel the clutch got some movement when the clutch is at the biting point. Easier to detect with the thin soles shoes.

Disappointment SG

Cannot be... standard requirement for the instructor's car. If not, you can go report him to the authories.
Also there is nothing to be afraid about trees, ppl and such things. Ppl normally siam in the event of crash. Your reflex action also will not drive the car that you are handling towards a crowd, unless you special train by osama.
He professional for crashing things towards the crowd.

Itachi SG

hmm, i think really dun haf the extra pedal.. my instructor kiao ka on the seat one Laughing

just had my 2nd lesson.. sianz, now dun really look forward to the next lesson..

made some mistakes and got some discouraging remarks i sian liao..

just learnt the handbrake at slope thingy, but din make use of it when i met one slope at one of the traffic lights, i used the brake pedal instead. den when starting off, i tink something screwed up.. got some weird noise come out.. den kena shoot "just now learn oni.. now nv use!" (he was on the phone when i stopped at traffic light)

he oso commented tt i go too fast liao..(max 60++km/h) my steering and brake not gd enuff.. should go slower. i din noe how fast to go.. followed the flow of the traffic =x

when die car.. he like buay song n say sth like "just now when moving step so much oil, now starting off dun dare step." haizzzz.. den i dunno wad to say.. just... "okok..ok.."

oso made mistakes like, at bends/turning, din slow down enuff.. when turning left, din stay at first lane, go to 2nd lane instead.. haha, i noe the comments he made was for my gd.. but can't help feeling discouraged. lol.. just gotta take note of what he said abt my mistakes lor..

haizzzz............... i think still got a long way to go for me......... ride bicycle better.. Laughing

oh ya, he oso dozed off abit.. Rolling Eyes
