Long Lost Skills of Driving

[Ahtong]

In ancient times, when the world was a happier and more peaceful place, the old masters used to practise these skills. However, due to ego, ignorance and a descend to the dark side, the following skills have been lost to us. Maybe somewhere in a forgotten room in TP HQ, the manuals to these lost arts still exists and their rediscovery will one day bring light to our roads again.

 

- Signalling

- Giving way

- Check blind spot

- Small lane give way to big road

- Stopping outside a yellow box

- Merging lane

- Waving thank you

- Using a roundabout

- Stopping without causing obstruction

 

What other legendary driving skills have been buried by the sands of time?

Push start a manual car... How many know how to do it? Not the pushing part.

Since I am free, let me try hor.

 

Make sure u r not facing an upward slope.

 

Put gear to neutral for manual and manual overide for auto tranny.

 

One person at the wheel while one or more to push.

 

Once car is moving, turn ignition key.

 

Do not step on brake throughout whole process until engine is started, otherwise, those people pushing will have a hard time.

I thought it was supposed to be gear 1 or 2?

 

Auto cars can't be push-started iirc.. it was stated in my manual. :P

[Joseph22]

Good try but wrong.

 

need to engage gear 1 right?

[The_Bear]

need to engage gear 1 right?

yup, first or second. then clutch in. Push car. When moving, release clutch quickly to bite point.

 

Had recent experience with my previous lau pok car....

this is the part i dont know.

My NS time only Driver are allow to do push start in the Car for my unit. I am the one pushing behind.

pushed started a 3 tonner before. very shiong.

[Thelord]

Auto dont tink can push start. Manual, key turn to on, clutch in gear 1 or 2 then push... gain more speed already throw the clutch to jump start the engine. Should be like that la if not wrong.

[Leggt]

Correct! My mistake.....hahaha

I keep remembering last time, those who pushed the car from behind always banged against the car becoz the car stopped. Yup, it's the clutch not the brakes that is causing the sudden jerks when the push start did not happen.

Also to inform J22...

Only that I still try to Jump Queue........ sometimes.....

[Tigerwoods]

Push start a car in MSCP is easier than on a flat road... Flat road you need 2 ppl...

This one I know. Almost every car I owned has a flat battery...

How can you push your car when you are in Gear 1 or 2 ??

You have to be in Neutral.

 

Only from the momentum of a moving car that you can Turn the key and engage Gear 1 or D mode....

 

It looks you guys never did it before...

mayb u misunderstood.. whats the diff between gear 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5, when the clutch is in as compared to neutral?

 

and the car doesnt have to be in motion before u can turn the key or engage gear..

 

on a side note, u have to turn the key even before u start moving.. or else you might just lock the steering

[Relagsingh]

need to engage gear 1 right?

 

dun even need to be 1st gear if the car is pushed fast enough.

I think he mean clutch in to gear 1. then engage Clutch. push start and release clutch, in short, let the propellor shaft jump start the engine for you.
