10 July 2002

10th July 2002 Wed 9.20pm – Just realise I have forgotten some friends’ birthdays this week.

My instructor for the day is the one I mentioned on last Wed who I don’t like. But after the practice, I find him okay but a bit soft-spoken…. needed some ”pardon” to get his instructions.

1. When turning around the bend, never step on brake or accelerator. You should have braked (gear 2) /engine-brake and slow down before the turn. Gear 1 needs no braking as when release accelerator pedal, the car will definitely slow down. (Hee hee! I’m good at making Formula One turns.)

2. While entering filter lane, should look out for blind spot whether any car passing by.

3. At any junction when making a left turn, always try to positon the car at the left /centre of the lane so that it will not out of the lane. Wait till when the kerb line go under left side mirror / kerb corner touches the bonnet view, make a fast full-lock left turn. Return the steering wheel at a moderately speed.

4. Never depress accelerator pedal further while releasing the clutch pedal at biting point. This will cause the car to jerk and surge forward.

5. Whenever at a Stop-line, always stop before it (line covered partially by the mirror / bonnet over it). Give way to the major road. When turning left /right, make sure there’s no on coming car on all lanes within a distance.
