its always better to wait for the green arrow to pop out before u execute your turn. like tt safer. (unless totally no car lar)
Also when u do the turning, try to shift the gear to 2nd gear before u turn else u will be penalise for dragging.
As for engine brake. u take off ur foot from the acclerator, tts engine brake lor.
dont step on the brake lor....like tt u show the tester u know when to use engine brake. -
thanx!
but when to use engine brake? -
eg, when u stop at traffic light..
i am referring to those whereby u have ample time to do engine brake.
u shift the gear lower say from 3 to 2....and engine brake will slow down the vehicle dan u gradually stop using brake. Try not to slow down the vehicle and stop the vehicle using brake.
In short, to bring the vehicle to a stop,
1. If u have time, use engine brake first than use brake for a full and complete stop.
2. No time, pls just use brake for safety first. -
dumb that idea of remembering how many round to turn on your wheel. prior to right turn, ensure there's no pedestrian nor incoming vehicle. what's most important about executing it is, Keep To Your Own Lane. which means, no wide turning, no sharp turning.
you use engine brake when you need to slow down. for example, red light in the distance, reaching a junction where you need to make a turn etc. you do that by dropping to a suitable lower gear, and leave all pedals untouched. of course, brake when you need it.

oh..okok! v much clearer now!! thank you so much!

remember, you will also be penalised for wide turning. lane discipline is very important, always keep within yr lane. tp always on the lookout for tat. one more thing, never never do a lane change at traffic junction and inside the yellow box. keep at min 3rd gear for lane change. good luck. dun falter inside the circuit.Originally posted by scardiicat:oh..okok! v much clearer now!! thank you so much!

last but not least, if u are a girl, wear low cut top.

u have to turn when ur shoulder hits the white line or something like that. but i find this method more dangerous as u'll probably be busy looking at your right instead of concentrating and looking in front.
my test is tml.
at cdc 1.55pm. my 1st time, hope it'll be my last time. don't have the $$ to take a 2nd time too. -
Thanx for all your advices... alway keep looking for the white lines.. my instructor told me to do so...guess no need hor.. remember that right turn wasn't so difficult when i did my 1st test at ubi...
anyway, good luck if you're having your test!
heard that wearing short skirts work too!
