I met the worst car instructor again. How come I always end up like this. His English is REALLY very hard to understand and I don’t think I learn much from him. Waste my dad’s money!!!!!!!!!
Finally force myself to go to the theory lesson today. Before, I keep reminding myself to revise them once more because after so much months, I most probably forget the details. The teacher is an Indian man who has no Indian accent at all. Overall I think it’s an enlightening experience because I basically learn more today than what I learnt when preparing for the theory tests. And it adds to my advantage being a future driver rather than just to pass the tests. What’s a pity that I can only attend one such lesson. What he taught basically are the device controls and expressway etiquette. Notes are taken down onto the textbook.
1. There are 6 basic control devices. Steering wheel, gear controls, handbrake, accelerator, brake pedal, clutch pedal.
2. Legal road limit is 50km/h. Near school compound has no specified road limit but just to slow down depending on situation. At expressway, it will be 80km/h and 90km/h though many drivers will be going at 100km/h.
3. The speed of the car on expressway is so fast that it is not advisable to stop at road shoulder. There have been incidents that drivers RIP when stopping at shoulders to change tyres etc. the triangle should put at least 20m away (60m maybe) from the car to warn the other cars but this is proven not enough. 90m is recommended but seem not feasible.
4. To apply handbrake, press the button and pull it to the highest and release the button then the handbrake. This is to maximise the brakes so that on steep slope, the car will not move.
5. When moving/reversing at a very slow speed, need not depress accelerator. Just do biting point clutching and apply brake intermittently.
6. Right turning into minor road is enacted on textbook. Always turn to the nearest lane and not make wide turn.
The instructor kept complaining that I turned too much (2 rounds, should be only 1) and the car ended up on another way lane. Also got poor perception and missed many chances to turn. What crap! Just that I’m not confident especially at the angle of turning. He’s not making constructive criticisms. He should guide me along like what the previous instructor did, not letting me sit down there fending for myself. When am I going to have my Malay instructors back? If I am going to have him as my instructor for many times, I going to book a fixed instructor. Needless to say, I’m now stuck at subject 11. L Rotten mood the whole day!
