does anyone knows how many times tp tester can deduct us for turning steering whilst vehicle is stationary for parallel?
Decided to check this out after realising that previously i always strike kurb when turning the wheel back to straight in parking. Maybe i should try another method this time.
Thanks for the really detailed explanation in parking. That's what I have done for parking too. I feel more confident of passing now.. I hope.. Another thing. Safety is very impt too!

if you're perfect 1st time no points. You can forward reverse anytime but each time points is given. Bro one time strike kerb is 10 points. Mount kerb worst, immediate failure. Turn steering whilst vehicle is stationary than it's 2 points. If you reverse see your right side mirror on the floor, if you think you can strike kerb than stop, don't worry just forward your vehicle and redo, it's all thinking logically. Don't be stupid and still reverse it. Important don't strike or mount kerb. If you redo 1 time he may just give you 2 points and 2nd time maybe 4 points or he don't give you points at all.
Some tips. While driving in the circuit adjust both side mirrors below where you can see your back wheel properly. After going out of the circuit to the road than you can adjust back to the normal position. Failure to do this confirm you will mount or strike kerb in the circuit because there's no other way you can see the floor and your rear wheel in action. Logic thinking, if you reverse and you think you wanna hit kerb or your car cant get thru than go forward again. A lot of people thought they must do it 1 time at 1 go. If you can do it than fine but if you ganchong with your heart pounding you think you can do it?...........lol
3 points to note in SSDC during parallel parking. 1st point: Place your whole car in front near to the left kerb and see your left mirror and make sure you can see the back round kerb where you suppose to reverse. Reverse slowly while watching your left mirror. Target your front seat left door handle to the kerb point and quickly turn your steering fully left.
2nd point: once it's turning now look at your right mirror now and you will notice your car slowly clearing the back yellow colour kerb. Stop exactly or just about to see the black colour kerb and straightened your steering. Now you must target your back wheel. Move your car straight back till your back wheel touch the white line.
3rd point: Now turn your steering quickly to the right continue reverse while watching your side mirrors till the back wheel about to touch the yellow kerb. Now you move forward while turning your steering to the left and straighten your car. Reverse back a tad to make it in the middle and stop there. Finish.
Now the going out part where you actually can immediate failure. You turn right and your front left wheel mount curb...lol. Don't be stupid reverse fully while your car straight till just right at the back kerb but don't hit it. Than forward while turning the steering fully right. I can bet you wont hit kerb at all with just one go.
Obviously Safety is very important in all expect. Especially the blindspots. That's where your wayang comes in. He can't see your eyes looking at the mirror so you must wayang and turn your head. Remember to greet him. "Good afternoon sir, you had your makan already?" He may just answer or just a nod but at least you don't look arrogant and say sorry for every mistakes. You will never know he will pass you even if there is major mistakes as long as no immediate failure.
haha . i tend to get more kancheong especially if got car behind . especially if late night go Mustafa centre haha
Haha. That one is worth a try maybe!to make the tester happy, beside the wayanging, open your car radio...i did it and the tester is singing in my car...one time my car is in the yellow box, he never penalize me for that..he too engrossed in the music..haha

Anw from what you all have advise. I will go for the two points. Then - 14.
When my car is reaching the kerb, I will just use stationary to turn back the wheels straight. And continue on.
Wish me luck! It's next wed, ssdc!
Yup.. Hmm.. Assuming I hit the kerb. It's gonna be 14 the tester said when you strike kerb means fail to confirm safety, so just a point to take note.all right, all the best for you and god bless you.
fyi is -12, not -14. 2 pts for turning steering wheel while stationery and 10 pts for striking kerb
Is this your first TP? i took my 2nd TP in cdc on a 8.25am peak hr time slot.
Some tips..when u are doing directional change, vertical parking or parallel parking, remember to check your blind spot, rear and side mirror at 3 instances: before u reverse in, half way reversing in to the slot(outside the slot) and reversing halfway inside the slot... plus your left signal...once u are in the slot, can shift back from reverse to 1st gear.
Also another thing..it is ok to leave your side mirror down all the way in the circuit but remember to adjust back once u exit the circuit. be prepared for e-brake situation and also remember to adjust your side mirror when you start your engine (start of TP).
Wish you all the best once again...!@

Anw my instructor is using a axioo. When I consult my friends, they said it's okay to leave your steering at full right. Change to first gear and go full left to adjust the car straight. Not sure if have enough time anot. Of course I will go dam slow when going full left.
P's this is my third time alr! God bless!
Not sure if i midunderstood your post,but when your car is going to reverse towards the kerb,u need to make the car straight le(i.e turn left 2 times,don leave it to the right),same theory as vertical parking.then forward to the left and and make it straight again.
Don't be surprise.. if the tester want you to pass you, he may not give points at all for turning steering wheel while stationery. That's my experienced at least.
Some tester are frens outside with your instructor. The tester can identify who is his fren is on the paper and if you're in luck you can pass....
Oh another thing, problem to search for car rental that can accept p platers and they are very rare to find.
Yup. That's what I usually do. But when I go back to straight. Turn left 2times that's where I hit. So I'm wondering if I will be able to leave it at full right. Change to first gear then full left and adjust car straight
