Hey guys you noe wad? I have passed my TP test with 8 points.. Good results right? a lot of ppl and frens actually congrates me.. and i am quite satsified with myself.
The next day i passed the test, i drove my DAD car, toyota camry.. Can u imagine? from a HONDA CITY TO TOYOTA CAMRY? the transition was like .. HUGE.. . okie.. thats not the point. My dad asked me to drive his car.. basically jus round the basement carpark in my house. then he asked me to do a parking.. U NOE WAD. THE side mirror LONG TIO the pillar!! I was so shocked and frightened at that time.. and scratches along the car body.. sad right,,now i have phobia in driving le..
OKie.. not only that, while drivin on the road, I was like so despair and not cofident at all. I cant drive based on my basic instinct. I have to follow my dad's instructions here and then. and he will keep on scolding and scolding throghout the whole journey. Sometimes i realli wonder, did the tester realli tink i can drive? am i suitable to fit that license?
Am i fit to be a driver. ??

It takes time to familiarize yourself with real driving conditions.... Start off by driving around your neighbourhood where you are familiar with.... It would be best if you dont drive alone first... It is good if your dad is there to guide you first... It takes time lah... After some time, you'll be very used to it.... Take it easy.... There's still lots to learn even after passing the driving test... Parking especially....

my suggestion is, to drive without anyone beside you...

i agree. parents sure very naggy. even u do correctly, they will still hv something to say.Originally posted by play_n_play:my suggestion is, to drive without anyone beside you...
'ah ya, drive too fast, follow too closely behind the car, dont keep pressing accelerator, n so on...'
so, sometimes, no matter how confident or 'zai', u also kenna pour cold water. so gather ur courage, drive w/o ur dad. but mayb not to too crowded places, eg orchard 1st. -
Got licence doesnt mean safe driver.. drivers with accident history tend to be safer.. learn from ur mistakes.. juz be safer in future..
-
the more time you spend on the road, the more shi.tty ur driving is.
eg. taxi drivers, delivery m/cycles, vans. construction lorries. -
Well, you can try to drive short distance from point A to point BOriginally posted by kurashi:hey I ned yur comments.. from all drivers..

but always be in the center lane or left lane unless turning right/U-turn etc.
For long journey or new journey its better to get your Dad with you so he can guide you. I know sometimes its frustating to see your Dad nagging. But after a while. You can drive well. Dun forget to check blind spot too and be very careful with Bikers and pedestrians. Keeping a long distance from the car infront of you helps too -
How about taking your new license and go to JB market to do parallel parking on slope on manual while mum conveniently goes to market ?
JB have one way lanes on slope whereby you park on the side: in-front lorry, behind mercedes.
Driving takes practices. -
it seems like when u were learnin how to drive, u were blindly followin the instructions and stuffs without reali realisin how to properly control a car and stuffs.. muz learn how to 'feel'...
It's seems like u were right.. indeed, i was very particular abt the "steps" during the trainin and the test. But isn't tt supposed to be? -
you can forget about driving a rolls...forever...
-
its normal la.... u still fresh ma so u still do not realise about the car size... learn from tis n be a better driver...
-
Don't lose heart. It happens to all new drivers. All you need to do is to keep practising your driving skill at different road conditions - during the day, night, rainy days etc.Originally posted by kurashi:hey I ned yur comments.. from all drivers..

Don't rely on your mirror all the time, turn your head when necessary as some mirrors don't show the actual distance between the car and the object. Also, the object may have been in your blind spot. The same applies when changing lane - always remember to turn your head to see if the lane you are going to get into is free. Looking at the side mirror alone won't help.
Just drive carefully and slowly (don't speed) and I am sure after much practice it'd build up your confidence.
Good luck! -
dont despair.
there are a lot of season drivers that cant even park properly after driving for decades. -
Dun Worry lah. me too afraid to drive when i got my car, somemore passed for 1 year then drive. Scared of the road bullies. But please, drive a smaller car for practising 1st before u go for big cars. U should know that driving a car needs alot of concentration, especially when overtaking. So a smaller car is best for practise, especially parking. Find a friend who will advise u while u drive, instead of scolding u. Drive at 50km/h 1st till u have gain back yr confidence to drive. Drive carefully, slow, no problem, let them cut yr lane lah. Remember to look at all mirrors, the car infront, left/right front too in case stupid drivers dun not signla and just cut in.
Just drive slow and safe till u get back yr confidence. Lastly, drive on 3rd lane ah, unless u want others to horn at u. -
Hey... hahaha I've always wanted to ask someone like you a question.... For someone who hasnt driven a car for a long time after gettting their licence, how does it feel? How long did you take to master it? Were you super nervous the first time that you drove after sooo long?Originally posted by redpicanto: Dun Worry lah. me too afraid to drive when i got my car, somemore passed for 1 year then drive.

For you, it's not so bad... for some of my friends, they never got a chance to drive for years after they got their licence... I dunno how they are going to pick up driving again.... For me, I started driving quite frequently after I got my licence and there were already so many other things to learn... But as with other seasoned drivers, as time goes by, it all becomes driving habits and basic instincts...
