Anyone learned so little/much on first lesson ?
One more concern, i never really waited for 1500to 2000rpm to drive off. I just accelerate abit then half clutch and drive off liao. Will i be penalized for that in test ?
He say i consider fast, i think hes just smoking me..
I think quite fast already.
Moving off part is fine, wont get penalised unless your moving off is really slow, or you stall but restart engine slow.
I believe you get the ideal of clutch control already, your goal is to move off without stalling or jerking forward, not necessary high engine rpm, just enough to get your vehicle moving off without 'vibrating'.
To be honest if you just release your clutch to the 'half clutch' point and hold it there, your car will crawl without the need of stepping on the gas.
If you realise your car engine sound like going die off, or things vibrating, you need more gas(or release less clutch). A good sound to hear when you move off will be in this sequence:
1. Engine rev a little bit louder than normal
2. The engine become softer and get lower pitch as you release your clutch to half clutch point.
3. The sound you hear in step 2 maintain the same for a split sec
4. The engine rev up as you step more gas and fully release the clutch.
First lesson is about like that, drive around, get use to clutch/steering/brakes.
Think 2nd lesson u will start to learn left turns, then right turns, u turn.
Your 3rd lesson should be 1.5 hours type. 1/2 hour learn vertical + directional change, another 1 hour go drive
4th lesson will be 1 hour, go drive around test routes, do u turn, change lane, slope.
5th lesson 1.5 hours. 1/2 hour recap vertical and directional change, then maybe learn parallel parking.
6th lesson drive around test routes, practice slope, right turn, lane change etc.
7th - 10th lesson practice driving and parking
Maybe 11th lesson go circuit, then 12-13 normal outside, 14th lesson go circuit, 15 drive around, 16 go TP.
As long as you learn right turn(who have right of way+gauge traffic), left turn, lane change, last min lane change, know how to stop for pedestrian, engine brake, Circuits (Directional change, vertical parking, parallel parking, s course, crank course, emergency brake, slope) should be can take TP already.
