How many times of Driving Tests (TP) you took to pass? - Part 2

[Nat Haroro]

BTT FTT 1X
TP 2x

1st attempt 28: (18 if I mounted kerb so no difference anyway)
2nd attempt: 12 (I have 5 free count)

Tester: Dennis Ho KC (1) Zulkeplee Bin Mustafa (2) got reminded for being conservative but still passed.

Conservative? As in? Explain?

Conservative? As in? Explain?

For most part of the Test route 1, I drove quite slowly and at the last part of the test route (going back to BBDC) he said speed up you are too slow.

check my post again, i added some more info.

Oh ya d3n, cos my timing is a non bus lane timing, so I shd keep to the bus lane extreme left ma, so if the bus infront stops at the bus stop, I can overtake it if it is safe to do so right?
N if so, after I overtake it, I change it back to the bus lane again when it is safe to do right?

But if the bus go at the same time when I'm alrdy beside it? I shd give way to the bus or accelerate to drive faster abit? Aiyo I'm always very scared the bus might dive to my lane. Like I'm at the 3rd lane n bus at the 4th lane.

Yah tats wad I'm afraid of. But besides doing well in your driving Oso your appearance important, dress up guai guai type for the test. ^^

For BBDC I have seen people wearing shorts for test date itself and they still pass.

But most of them dress conservatively though. But for Ubi yes some of them are very strict.

After the Fire station, I traveled at 40 KM/h he said faster faster here 70 you travel until 40 very slow.

When he showed me the slip I was amazed by the free counts that I had.

I thought 50 is the limit speed?

 

[SMB75U]

No. The ITE CCK direction and the CCK fire station's speed limit is 70km/h

Observe the situation, if the bus just stopped, people are still alighting/boarding and it is clear traffic ahead, overtake in a safe manner. If the bus has stopped for awhile or congested traffic ahead, then better wait patiently behind the bus. And of course take note of the signal lights of the bus.

Hope this helps.

Next tues is my 1st TP. Feeling so nervous about the narrow road in circuit. As you know the more conscience of the way you drive, the more mistakes you'll make. Well that applies for me.

During my last driving lesson, I tried to overtake a stationary bus with a double white line on the center of the road. It was then I realised I've actually forgotten all the road markings meanings. eg: double white line, etc. Think I'll need to restudy the theory book

And just to clarify, I read about someone here getting IF because of not coming to a complete stop at pedestrian crossing when there's no pedestrians in sight. Which did this refer to? Traffic Light pedestrian crossing or zebra crossing?

Will i get points deducted if my steering method is not what the tester likes? eg, hand over hand steering for parking.

As normally I drive barefooted, will the tester kan me for that?

And can we start driving once we pass the TP?

Sorry for so many questions. Hopefully can pass in one go.
