If you are to go up the mountains, it is a BIG problem. :sweat:

Imagine......driving a unimog with a huge load behind, up the mountain. Road with potholes, steep incline, mountain on 1 side, steep cliff on the other, approx 0.5M of road clearence on each side of the unimog, no curb, out growing grass on the road masking the edge........

Then you encounter a hairpin turn going up a steep incline.... :sweat: Even a safety officer, a LTC will have cold sweat. SAF lost soldiers this way before.......

But yeah, ROC is fun. :bsmilie:

Hahha.. yeah, I know what you mean.. I do drive 3 & 5 tonners and also drive cross-country.. the slopes i had went before is also unbelievable!! I had the uncomfortable sensation that the whole vehicle is going to tumble... :sweat:

Thankfully nothing happened...

Well, I got SAF licence too. And I got banged and banged ppl too. :sweatsm: But lucky the accidents are all minor and involve own vehicles. Dents and scatches and some sore necks and busted ears. (Kenna F by CSM :sweatsm: )

Driving in ROC with SAF vehicles are a real challenge.

Mine also from SAF. I agreed driving in ROC is very challenging have to keep reminding myself.

[jonlou]

private here!

basic once
advance twice
practical twice

the first tester was really an *******. very gl... for those who has been to ubi's driving skool b4... i done with my circuit, and was exiting the circuit at less than 20kmh.... and as i passed the zebra crossing well at that kind of speed, he pointed behind, FAR AWAY, that there were people approaching the crossing and i didnt stop for them. ;( 6 pts for that i believed.

engine stalled 15 seconds into the test while i was trying to come out of the parking lot. but i recovered within 3 seconds and carried on. panick attack... so my left leg was under ecstasy or ice.... couldnt stop "dancing" on the clutch... 4 points.

hit the kerb during directional change. :cry: 10 pts. no one to blame.

no need to say anymore already right? just nice 20 liao. was very demolarised lar.... but pulled myself together at the end of the day and passed with 10 points 2 months later.

those were the days...

now i read from so many of you, i think failing on the first attempt isn't that bad. Guess i would have to try harder on my next attempt~ which will be another 3 months from now. Hope i'll bring good news !

2B, 2A, 2: Once for all (theory, lessons and practical)

3: Theories, once each; practical, twice (first time fail cos driving w one hand on gear stick)

4, 5: Once also.

Vocational bus: No practical, but once only (theory)

Private student here.. :sticktong

Basic x03 :embrass:
Final x01 :bsmilie:
Practical x02 :bheart:

Smth i always share with frens taking practical test as this happens to me. Find very useful in circuit driving as you need to half clutch alot of stoppage and going.

Whenever you see tester, your heart starts pounding.. your stomach starts churning and your legs feel extremely soft (for my case 1st time, trembling like mad ) 1st time kana a super "garang" tester.. Super firm face, black sunglass, those 80s combed back hair.. see liao.. wana wet pants liao.. wahah.. :bsmilie:

While starting off, what i was taught is never rest your leg on the ground as it restricts your feeling of half-clutch for newbies.. you tend to let go too quick n die off.. while in test, the often half clutch and pressure from tester wears you easily and your leg start trembling..

follow the step.. slowly release clutch and gently step accelerator.. while you felt there is a biting point.. quickly rest your leg on the ground.. that prevents you from straining your leg in air too long at same time let the clutch haf time to bite.. thats how i got thru my 2nd test.. as i usuali crumble under pressure.. hope this help those "kan cheong" ppl like myself..

[Terence]

Everything cleared the first time round. But I had it easy as I took the test while I was studying in the US. The parallel parking test, I was given a spot big enough to park a boat, a blind man could've done it just as well.
