3 hours still ok ... private is less than 10-20 mins gone liao cos all the instructors help each other one to jagar

anyway, do they know if we take tp test how many times?

think they can find out if they want, but some will know because I think no matter PDI/school they have to report to the tester how many lessons the student have taken , all recorded somewhere .. I see my PDI also got a book to write all that down nicely

Heard from an instructor today that a lot of the stricter testers rotated to woodlands, and woodlands rotated in their testers who are more slack so recent passing rates are higher hahaha.

Btw, for lane changing, e.g changing lane to right, if can see the behind car's both headlight in the right side mirror, means got enough space to change lane alr isit? Or agar how to judge got enough space anot?

Bbdc or CDC?
I think bbdc generally ok 1 lei
Change lane, can only gauge yourself.
Don't use those to judge. If you think you can change, jitao change. Don't bother.

isn't that too early? for me i was taught to gauge using the inner car door handle. when inner door handle align with the curb full lock whichever direction you wanna turn.

So when i go for the test i dont need the book already right?



i assume you are school student? I think its better you take back the book from CDC staff because when you go back to the test centre for warm-up they need to see your booklet again.

Go slowly.
use half clutch safe bo ? without step gas. like that will be creeping while full lock.
I think my mistake is never turn sterring fast enough to full lock, that why wide turn.

am i right to say that ? cos when is so tight, must turn sterring very fast.

I used to do half clutch without gas too, until one instructor taught me to accelerate and half clutch.

Low speed control they call it. Really useful in the circuit!
