On your TP driving test, is the tester aware whether you are

Yeah know wat u mean, glad it's over liao...Like wat the army always says, "Do it once Do it good" Didn't want to spend any more money to get my license man...

taking it the first time or 2nd or subsequent attempt? i heard the tester will be lenient in a repeated test.

I also heard in government driving centres like SSDC and BBDC, if you have spent enough money on your driving lessons and practical tests, the TP will eventually still pass you even though your performance during the driving test is horrible

I sincerely hope the testers pass a candidate because he is convinced that the candidate can drive properly, and not because it is the candidate's 2nd or 3rd attempt at taking the driving test.

There are far too many hazardous drivers on the road and far too many lives have been lost in the hands of such drivers. Neutral

tat is totally bullshit ... who told u tat de ?
my friend passed her tp only on her 4th time ... oso not all pple can oso
pass on e 2nd attempt ...
one of my instructor told me one of his student passed on her 10th attempt.
tester is see skill n ur reaction to road hazaard. talent oso needed.
if failed mean ur still not so ready to embark onto the eral road life

My other half passed only on her 6th attempt, and it wasn't even a good pass. Laughing

Not referring to anyone in particular, but i feel that not everyone is wired to drive and handle a vehicle safely… for the sake of all road users they are better off in the passenger seat instead.. just like how some people are more mathematically inclined whilst others aren’t.

Instead of saying they are more lenient during the second or third round, you should say they are more strict during your first round.

Doubt the tester knows your number of lessons taken cos they don't see your student booklet .. so don't think thats a factor.. I took like 15 lessons and passed my friend has 25 and he failed.. so doubt they will consider that.

I think jus pray for good luck and get a good tester in a good mood..passing would be no problem if u can drive properly.

cornyfish2000 SG

U got talent for driving ah... took only 15 lessons...

But this must be the 10th time i'm reading this post...

gUms SG

aiya no skill also take ten time will still fail la ..... they dont even know how many times u sat for tp (i think so la ) but they will confirm not know how many lesson u took b4 u could book for ur tp ....... they will only put u on de road with a p-plate only when they are sure u will not kill or hurt others or urself ., and also not forgetting destroying public properly like most of us racer boys did to trees and lampost and countless side kerds banging Mr. Green

I still believe they knows if you are a first timer tester or not. First timer slots are different from repeater's slot. (repeater meaning 2nd, 3rd, 4th or whatever, all grouped as 1.)

dlareg SG

from wat i know… time slots are random. I had my first and second tests at the same slots. But on the back of ur probational license, it’s recorded. Anyway.. even if it’s not, I’m sure it’ll show on their compputer screens if they realluy want to check you out

Boo777 SG

He'd got a point on the 1st part.... but the childishness on the 2nd part spoils everything. If I'm not wrong, I think he's a victim of a hit-and-run case.

Maybe I drove more confidently on my 2nd attempt.

I finish, parallel/vertical parking and s-course with no problems.
then the TP ask me "Your 2nd time ah?"
me: "Yes, sir!"
TP: "Ok, go out after the s-course."
me: "Yes, sir!"
me thinking inside "wat abt slope and crank course????"

Then during outside, was about to go into the route....
TP: "dun need go route, turn infront...."
We just go jalan jalan made a big round about BBDC then go back liao.

I passed that day with 8 points. Many were suprised because the TP that took me was one of the more strict ones!

The morale of my story: "If u can drive and drive confidently then shld not be a problem"

wbucket SG

Maybe you are right. First test I got immediately failure outside, zero point inside. Second test, I took all my 10 points inside. Outside zero??? Didn't even U-turn or right turn. Just left, left, left... and back!!! Maybe my instructor bought him over?

casshern SG

waaaahh... envy,which centre?so lucky,i'm having my test on 3th june fri.but abit panicky now.

overall my driving can say is not bad,only minor mistakes.hope can get a good tester like urs!

wbucket SG

First time I failed. Check back too long, tester ask me what the rear/side mirrors are for. And also didn't keep a safe distance from a tri-cycle. That one really kanna screw until...... Hope my failure experience could help a bit.
