Learn To Drive Manual - Lesson 7

What I have learnt driving in circuit:

Speed limit: 20km/h on straight road, 15km/h on bends, 1st and 2nd gear in circuit

- Press button before lifting handbrake so it doesnt grind

Tips: Get out of car in clockwise direction so traffic can be seen

REMEMBER: Dont look at gearbox

To control your accelerator, theortically place your heels on the floor. In actual case, place right foot pressed slightly against the right side of car.

After ebrake, remember to pull handbrake and put to neutral. Switch to gear 1 and move off.

Learn To Drive Manual - Lesson 6

Date: 1 feb 2013(Friday)
Location: Yishun MRT
Instructor: Mr Wong SSDC Manual (Bad mood today)

Mistakes I made:

1) Not changing to 1st gear after e brake and stopping at traffic junction

2) Not Changing to 2nd gear before reaching junction, school zone, left turn as well as hump (SLOW DOWN!).

Information: Look out for cars and pedestrians when right turn
Going to neutral and handbrake is not allowed in tp when stopping at junction

For slope (From http://www.carwale.com/forums/ViewThread-9322-p2.html):

1) Press clutch and brakes pedal.
2) apply hand brakes such that car does not move backwards and shift to neutral
3) when u have to move shift in 1st gear pressing the clutch and press accelerator a liitle more
4) start releasing the clutch car will start  vibrating trying to move forward that time release hand brakes and press acclerator more ,releasing clutch fully.
5) then start driving normally
