What about first time near accident experience so I can contribute a little.
At the filter left lane an hour ago, the zebra crossing was clear of pedestrians, no incoming pedestrians spotted at the junction either before I proceed to move towards the dotted line.
Traffic on the right was moving straight, so I could've turned without checking for clearance. No incoming cars before I merge into the left lane anyway.
One malay boy came zooming from the frontal left. Almost knocked him over. So I stopped. Not sure whether I should sound my horn, wind down the wind screen and swear at him or do what, so I just stopped, looked at him in utter shock before he picked himself up from his bicycle all the while pointing at the zebra crossing (what the fuck, I am already past the zebra crossing, thank fuck I couldn't hear him at all, would've gotten down and hammered his head with my cigarette box).
I'm done whining but he could've gotten himself injured.
I don't mind having license revoked or getting jailed and fined but he seriously could've died. And it wouldn't have been well worth it. Why suffer from an accident? Especially in a stupid accident like this? Terrible day.
first lesson stall like nobody's business. 20+ times i think.
2nd lesson abt 7-9 times. 3rd lesson 3/4 times.. hahaha.. fun rah learning driving.
Me first lesson ran into a stupid instructor with absolutely atrocious english. And I couldn't understand a thing he say about half-clutch. I stalled like hell.
Then during my 2nd lesson, it was a different instructor. He's very good but fierce. I immediately got the hang of it and never stalled after that. ![]()
Added: Just remember, accelerator can step more, never mind. But must release clutch very slowly and smoothly especially for 1st and 2nd gear.
1st lesson ar....engine stall...restart....throw clutch...accelerator press too much...almost confirm one...relac relac....U will get better as U go on.
scolding from instructor...depends lor...if its really not ur fault...talk back and see what's the issue...but not talk back for the sole sake of ur "face" lar...
my first lesson was a breeze...no stalling at all..but..jus cant 'feel' if e car is straight...

I think it's not because too much power, I think it's because they use lousy tyres, no grip. ![]()

And this doesn't include the instructor's own driving antics. We'll never know how they drive it. ![]()
