Driving Instructor Quality

[Qpik]

i wasn't tryg to waste his time but with the "ai lai mai sua" attitude, i decided not to enroll after all.

 

cos riding motorbike is "body wrap metal", hv not start the course already like that, if on the road how. learning motorbike got no room for mistakes unlike car.

[Ahliew]

im a slow learner and once you put on the helmet

its 50% drop in IQ.

For BBDC, the website lists 8 stages, divided into 13 lessons. There are actually only 11 lessons. One of them is the circuit evaluation (stage 5) and the other is the final evaluation (stage 8).

 

You need to pass each lesson to proceed to the next.

 

If you go once a week and sometimes twice, it should take about six months, including the theory lessons (can take in parallel) and the waiting time.

 

What I can say is don't be discouraged if you need to retake the same lesson a few times. I took the left-turning lesson twice (yes, even a simple left turn also can fail) and lane changing lesson thrice!

 

People think riding a motorcycle is simple, just like riding a bicycle. It's true -- if you only go straight.

They should just change the requirement to 50% NCD.

ok, do they still hv the tests where the rider hv to lift up their fallen bike & also going through a single plank??

[Nhyone]

Lifting up a fallen bike is only for the class 2 TP test. You'll learn to lift up your fallen bike in the first class 2B lesson. No test. It's not about strength, it's about using the proper technique and leverage.

 

If you ever fall from your bike in a normal lesson (you will), the instructor will help you lift the bike up. However, I feel it's best to try it on your own, as you will definitely encounter it outside! School bikes are relatively easy to lift up as they have crash bars -- the handle bars are far from the ground.

 

The narrow plank, yes, it's a mandatory course. It'll be difficult at first, but you'll definitely get the hang of it sooner or later:

1. you need some speed to go up the plank (too slow -> cannot go up the plank)

2. slow down *after* both wheels are on the plank

3. clutch in, let the bike glide and brake to slow down (but not too slow!)

4. just when the bike starts to wobble, half clutch to increase speed and repeat (3)

5. it's better to not meet the timing (penalty) than fall off the plank (immediate failure)

want to get license better hurry.... cause the instructor keep hinting to complete our courses earlier in order not to get caught in revising of rules.

 

they hinted that TP might make it harder for us to obtain 2B license

[Shull]

hmmm..why not..

 

i still student leh..

When i first started Class 2B, i chiong the pracs alomost every 2 or 3 days once, I took at BBDC, i remember about 8 stages total of like about 13 pracs u need to pass. At my rate of 2 - 3 days go once, took me 4mths for 1 time TP test.

 

As for Class 2A, very simple, 3 pracs and 2 theories. Took me 1mth plus to get the license, 1 time TP test.

 

As for Class 2, this is the only 2 wheel license u need to lay the bike on the floor and lift it up again, but dont worry its heavy but got tactic one, i saw chiobu girl girl and can lift the Nighthawk 750. Took my 2 mths plus, Took TP 2 times, first time knn one pussy dashed out of the road made my ebrake and stop on zebra crossing, kena immediate.

 

As for the obstacles, E-brake, S course, Crank course, Slope, narrow plank and pylon slylom are all requirements for all the bike licenses, except 2A and Class 2 additional bumpy course and longer timing for some courses. For Class 2B have to go public road cause newbie... 2A and 2 only circuit.

 

Anybody also can get bike license but in my opinion, among all the license i took, Class 2B was the most difficult, My TP only 20+ pple passed, the rest 60+ failed. Its all about determination cause alot of pple give up halfway.

 

Hope the information i given helps...

Haha.. good advices but for Class 2 u cant let the bike glide through the narrow plank, because need to tahan at least 12 secs ! Must halfclutch and rear brake all the way.

 

My friend more tok kong, 22secs, the bike practically not moving. Zai.
