i got 12 points due to the usual stuff: check of blind spots,
failure to make safety check when turning, roll back abit from
slope. And eventually mounting the kerb which cause me to fail.
I passed on my first attempt. Yet I was FREAKIN lucky to be able
to pass. Here's why:
I got 14 demerit points. But the main point was, during my test
outside on the test route, I encountered merging lanes. Now, my
instructor has NEVER asked me to hit the signal when it comes to
merging lane. So I went ahead and merged with the other lane
without hitting signal. The tester inmmediately said: "Why didn't
signal right to warn motorists at the back that you're merging into
the right lane?"
I was snooked. But because I don't want to agitate my
instructor, I admitted that I'm wrong and carried on. When I'm back
at CDC, my tester told me: "Do you know that can be an immediate
failure?" I was so sad when he said that. I thought I'm gonna see
CDC for a 2nd time. Then suddenly the tester added: "But never
mind, I shall close one eye."
Then he started calculating my demerit points and wrote "14" and
"passed". I was amazed! He closed one eye on an immediate failure!
WTH!
But main point is, has anyone ever encountered an instructor
asking you to hit the signal when you come to merging
lanes?
