1) While for blind spot, it is the last to check. First, check rear mirror on the direction you going to turn and then follow by the side mirror. Last, turn your head to the window of the rear door to check blind spot. Don't OVER turn as you might turn your body n in the end, turn the steering wheel.
2) Look at rear mirror and see any car tail if not wrong as you stop in a sudden, they might hit u.
3) Turn n check blind spot of the opposite direction you going to turn before checking the direction you going to turn. Confuse? ;p
4) Parallel parking, remember to check blind spot on your right side before looking at your rear. For me, I concentrate on the poles after blind spot finish checking.
Today I drive auto car. Like got a licence liao, drive so smooth without much problem. Even over take a lorry as he is driving in the center lane, haha! Not wonder so many ppl go for auto, so easy to learn, no clutch control, car also move forward.

I was learning auto today. Kenna road block, check behind, oncoming car. Instructor say I should go but I see the car like moving fast, I stopped.
Wait for few cars passed me, I saw a mini van coming from behind. Didn't signal out but I did. In the end, I want to move, so does he. Instructor asked me to stop but I told him my reason. He say as long they see L plate, they assume you not steady enough. But for me, I react more fast than some of those who got licence as I used to gaming in car simulation, haha! :bsmilie:
:sweat:
For any parking, always turn your head to check behind (not blind spot) b4 signal ....

My Instructor always tell me to check right blind spot for safety before reversing. Check during test, no minus pt. No check, might be minus, haha! :bsmilie:

Ok, finished all the lessons. Now left with reversions and test.
My weak points :
1) Dare not to cut into lanes when saw oncoming vehicles. Must clear this doubt.
2) Like to tail gate some time cause I do it in circuit as the car is slow and I standby brakes. ;p
3) Confuse during moving off slope. Signal right sometime didn't do it.
4) Fail to keep safe distance from cars infront. Need to judge better next time. (Too big gap also no good, other cars can cut in! )
Hope to go back to my manual, I able to drive in a better state as in auto. Will try to pass in a go.

You will have 2 chances (for blind spot) and they will deduct thereafter up to 3 blind spot (4 points each)... quoted from the BBDC practical training book...
Do practise as much as you can. It does help. Are you in any group system ?

I have this problem when i was at your stage. Keep practising and correct your bad habits. You will drive more naturally and enjoy the sessions.
Auto is really easy if you start from manual. I remember in BBDC i tend to do much better during auto sessions- it was also more fun and easier, esp parking and turning in a junction.
Do be more cautious of route 6 (refer to the back of your practical book).
I do miss manual sometimes since my car is auto...

well... tailgating is really bad... and dangerous too... esp behind L plates...
any direction you are heading, you need to see it first ..
likewise for parking, once you stop or position the car, 1st thing to do is turn your head to check behind (safe to go) before you proceed to check mrrors > signal > check blindspots

Yup, route 6 seem like a killer route as got downslope, 2 X upslope at junction. BIG right turn when coming back etc... Think a lot of ppl fail this route esp during test date. Me took this route during auto, if not wrong.
Need to practise more on blind spot, low speed control etc... Practise makes prefect, hope to pass in a go.

OT :
Last night I thought of a few ideas for cars but might not be legal for some. :bsmilie:
1) A auto ticket puncher which punch the time when you been told of warden nearby. Just send sms to it and you will not been book. ;p
2) ERP card reader will beep when you off your engine if your cash card still in it. To prevent you from further lose of a window n $.
So far, only got 2. Hope some of you could contribute some ideas here, esp drivers
