Driving Lesson question.

[skweam]

just finished my FTL 1.0.2 (i think) and i din realise that the final is 2 months away! what kind of system is that?? everything is booked till the next 2 months.

so i have to move on to practical to fill in betweens. my question is, before i begin my practical, do i need my PDL first? and if i book 20 practical classes before hand, is that correct and advisable? really confused @_@

[moneygod]

2 months good mah. i waited for 4 months last time leh. so gotta stretch my lessons to once a week.

if you are from driving school then yeah, pre-book your lessons lor. if private, just assess frm week to week how much you need. both my wife and i took private and we both took around 15 lessons only. if school, they need you to take certain number first before you can take TP.

[skweam]

currently enrolled in BBDC. wah urs 4 months @_@ probably because private ah. but im not sure if i am doing it rite. just book a practical class and attend it?

[reddevil0728]

When i first register at bbdc at the start of feb, my BTT earliest is in april, then found 1 in march booked tt... then today i check the slots.. found 1 this coming wed... straight away go book. I suggest u check the slots every now and then, cause i believe there will be ppl who didn't satisfy the 14 days criteria to pass their evulation so the system will cancel their slots n u can book it.

[mostwanted]

yeah and finish ur lessons as fast as possible...u shld be gettin more priority then becoz your a student of the skl..at least thats wat i realized...wen i finished fasti got a test date 1 week away...which i could not see wen i had not finished my course..

[reddevil0728]

think morel like someone cancel his or her lesson or it got cancelled by the system

hold on, what about the 14day thing again? must have an evaluation at least 14 days before test date?

[reddevil0728]

hold on, what about the 14day thing again? must have an evaluation at least 14 days before test date?
If u r a school student. you must pass ur evaluation at least 14 days before the Theory test... tts for BBDC students la... if not the system will cancel ur theory test date if u dun satisfy the criteria

[Levin]

You don't need a PDL if you're a student there while learning in the circuit

[Mobile_Crazy]

You don't need a PDL if you're a student there while learning in the circuit

true. but if you want to go road outside the center and drive you neeed a PDL.

[skweam]

alrite, thanks again. i got 2 months, so maybe no worries haha. but heard from friend that its more difficult than basic.

[skweam]

You don't need a PDL if you're a student there while learning in the circuit

alrite boss. will apply for PDL then

[reddevil0728]

alrite, thanks again. i got 2 months, so maybe no worries haha. but heard from friend that its more difficult than basic.
i thought basic theory also same thing? u need to pass evaluation before can take theory test?

[Ev0lutionz]

Good luck, sure can pass TP one.. Everyone before tp come here ask tips, then in the end pass. like myself:P

[mostwanted]

haha yeah...i had almost a perfect TP..but hes so brusque while giving directions...So i heard wrong and almost took a wrong turn...cost me 6 points when i was aiming for zero...and even i took tips from here..

[Levin]

Dunno my lan jiao bin can pass or not =\

[skweam]

i thought basic theory also same thing? u need to pass evaluation before can take theory test?

two different test mah, one is basic the other is final. anyway, im taking my evaluation on thursday. i am damn wols, now my FTT is May =/ damn!

u're fast=) means after FTT den u can book TP?

[razer_]

Dunno my lan jiao bin can pass or not =\

i suggest you dye your hair black, cut your hair to a more decent style and when you report for TP, dress like a good boy.. be polite and don't argue with the tester no matter wad.. like that got 50% chance to pass.. the other 50% have to depends on your skills. got my license on 21st Jan 08, first attempt :hat1: with 6 demerit points..

[reddevil0728]

got apply PDL??
after i pass i go take queue number for both update of BTT pass records in the system n apply for PDL also...

actually is possible. provided u damn lucky u can get the taste date... its usually the test dates tt r the bottleneck... private got lower priority as compared to school for test date

[Static-X]

For that case, i'm going for the school. But i dunno that within 1 month can learn finish everything :o

[reddevil0728]

First lesson is always fun but after that will be more and more boring as more safety checks are required from you. Check until you sian. Got check also kena say never check. You will know the feeling sooner or later. ;)

Now i got urge to learn motorcycle but the intervals between each class is too long IMO. You need full 3 years to be able to touch anything beyond 400CC. That's long man. :thumbsdow

have you guys been able to change to an earlier test date?.. I went to CDC website and tried to search for anyway to see if there are any slot cancellations or changes, but I can't even find where's the url to change test date..

I wanna change to earlier test date cuz all my lessons ending, and I won't wanna wait until June >_>..

City is a smaller car as compared to the older VTI model. The turning points between both are slightly different. Now they are implementing a change to the newer city model and gradually phasing out VTI.

In my opinion, both cars are rather alright to handle.

haha.. i drove city... initially dun like the light steering... cause will over estimate or underestimate how much to turn... the vti... heavier then makes me feels more like i am in control

[c1em3ntchua]

city can use finger drive maybe more suited for old people with not much strength
