After a horrible week of driving in the circuit (I will explain y it is so horrible) I finally went out on the road for a short drive...but then long time nv drive out, abit not used to it...
Ok...as to y circuit is a horrible place...
Circuit is under controlled traffic condition (coz there is instructor in every car)...but then imagine the traffic is
SO slow that you can only use gear 1/2 (3 maybe..but rare)...so for the past week I have been mainly driving with gear 1 as I was doing all the circuit courses (parking, directional change, S course crank course)...if gear 1 is bad enough, I have to engage in HALF-CLUTCH position ALL THE TIME...and then..............there is REVERSE (!!!)...this is really mad...
With that...I was expecting to knock many poles during parking...but then I only knock down 3 poles...I didn't hit any poles after there (not even touch it...heE~)...now I can gauge better whether or not will the car/wheels will hit kerb or anything...starting to be able to feel the dimension of the car...
And if u think that vertical parking is easier than parallel parking...let me tell u...U R WRONG!...vertical parking requires alot of skill...abit no coordination u won't be able to get in...anyway, today he taught me tt...n with the first method, I couldn't get into the lot...always will hit...then with the second method, the first try I did a perfect (or maybe near) park...
Then today did many other things also (but he didn't clear me for those subjects)...I did 3 point turn, but still not very familiar with it...then the emergency braking..haA~..thinking about it...it is abit funny...did quite many times (maybe around 5 times?) and my bus card actually flew out...after lesson lucky I got check ah...then have to search around the car...
Now waiting for my final theory test..then will be the tp test already...I think I should be able to take test around end of jan or feb..heE~...then if got sch event can drive already...
Me will be going overseas for 4 days..going on the 20 coming back on 24...will be bringing laptop but guess won't be onlining much..(exp ah)...
