KARTer 2nd Gear June 1, 2011 Author Share June 1, 2011 Told me one thing only... Your driving style will change right after you pass... After I passed, I bump into him... I told him, you are right! like dont need give signal before changing lane (in fact it's 'fatal' if we give), else the car behind will speed up and close the gap?

KARTer 2nd Gear June 1, 2011 Author Share June 1, 2011 Was taught by my instructor in BBDC that driving during TP and real life is different. Told me in real life when first at the red lights should rev till more than 4k then considered real driving. lol. But I did not choose the fixed instructor one. So I got different instructors for each lesson. There was one lesson supposed to learn the crank course and S course but then he never teach me anything just ask me try to go through those course first. Then managed to go through without any problem so he said since i know already ask me go out of the circuit to drive. End up he was sleeping while I drive around. Woke up only when I jammed brakes cuz saw amber light. looks like he never slept at night, or your driving so smooth he fell asleep? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KARTer 2nd Gear June 1, 2011 Author Share June 1, 2011 (edited) OMG...Hahaha... My instructor was the opposite - back then whenever passing bus stops he would tell me "hey, eyes on the road ah... don't look at girls" he old school lah............ my instructor was the same, always stepped on his accelarator ( the car had dual controls, one for him, one for me) and say "go faster" whenever i tried to slow down to take a good look at chio bus on the footpath/busstop Edited June 1, 2011 by KARTer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nzy Twincharged June 1, 2011 Share June 1, 2011 for more than 80 years before sensors were invented, all drivers parked without using them Yep. This method around for a long time. Still see some older people using this method. My neighborhood got a few of them driving BMW or merc always see them use this method also to make sure don't hit the wall behind. Not sure why they don't use their reverse cameras. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastfive1 5th Gear June 1, 2011 Share June 1, 2011 Hmm with regard to parking, i personally feel that you don't really need poles to park. I learnt how to park through trial and error (of course in an empty space), like when you go into reverse look at your side mirrors, if you realize that the vehicle looks rather slanted, go forward and straighten at the same time and reverse adjusting the steering to get the vehicle straight. If you think you can do adjustments to make the car straight while reversing, then all the better(usually easier on shorter vehicles). But then again this instinct may have been developed as a result of my interest in cars and playing car racing games since primary school. Now that I'm driving a relatively long W124, parking smaller cars are a breeze. Anyway I'd like to think of parking as similar to math, there's always a pattern and a formula.

Except my parents took me out at night to practice before i got my license. I think it really paid off because my instructor taught me absolute crap.

BANG!!! ...... too late liao... I ever had my reverse sensor fail on me - beeped as usual but the distance gauge didn't work and didn't display the correct distance from the wall. Luckily I still always make sure to turn back and double check. I for one would never rely on technology alone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
