fabiuz SG

my instructor told me to drive below 60km/h

SmaLLDoG SG

oic...mine next fri..

SmaLLDoG SG

is it better to take driving lesson like 3 hours before the actually test?

for example,the test is 11.45..

should i start practicing at 9?

anyone tried b4 and will that make you more relax? Question

shirurinu SG

i think it's a good idea lo.. practise more.. better than being gan zhiong on the test itself... then have to wait for another tp TEST DATE

FriedBeeHoon SG

if the speed limit is 50km, u shldnt drive below 40km/h if not the tester will gif demerit u ... alway set a 10km diff ...
good luck tml ... and rmb pls use engine break n check ur blind spot

kentheman SG

u taking ur test at ubi? dun drive too slow or ur points will oso get deducted. so let's say speed limit is 50, i go at 45...reaching traffic lights, den drop to 40...

as per ur qn abt how long u shld be practicing before ur test, wat i suggest is take one circuit lesson 2 days b4, one test route lesson 1 day b4, n one hr b4 ur test, go for one warm up...tt shld be enuf...n during ur warm-up, if u commit mistake, do not worry..practice on those courses u r not very confident more than once...

yea, got to agree keep a 10km/hr buffer 50km/hr or not less than 45km/hr or else the tester might penalise you for failing to adjust yr spped to road conditions, above 50 and he says you're speeding. Sounds hard but hey juz take a deep breath and relax. Dont know if it's true but a fellow test-mate told me that drinking milk before a test calms the nerves, i hated milk but decided to give it a try and found it really works. wonder if its juz a mental thing. Wink

I've failed my test on my previous 2 attemps at SSDC wif earlier drive rounds before the test itself and decided that I would juz go for the actual test wif juz the normal warm up drive and eventually I passed the test. Its juz to mentally taxing for you to go thru a round and return to the centre and wait for the test to commence. I feel that the whole episode juz stresses you up more.

As the other bros have mentioned, signal and check yr blind spots and above all be VERY PATIENT. Bear in mind that no matter wat happens juz dont lose yr head. Safe driving coupled wif all your driving practices before will see you thru.

All the best of luck and the highway awaits you Wink

Poor things... can't even get out to main road?

SmaLLDoG SG

if i'm learning from private, do i have to pay for the test fee whcih is about 160+ on that day?

and which is the most difficult part in the circuit you guys think? Very Happy

50-55Km/h is the acceptable speed limit. Anything more than that will result in points being dedcuted. However there are some routes that allows you to go until 70km/h

The whole test will take approx 30-40mins depending on your tester..

cheers

rabbitbond SG

45km/h or 50 km/h for wld be ok...

i finish mine test in 15 mins.... pass

good luck

Praetorian111 SG

Yes you will have to pay for that... normally ur instructor would have already paid in advance or requested for you to pay for that amount prior the test date.
On top of the test fee, you will have to pay for the rental fee for 2 sessions for the test.
