U should check ur blind spot. After clear everything, signal rite and change gear.Originally posted by investment:Hi to all,
I will be taking my TP test soon, and need your advice with regards to the following :
1. When moving up the slope, must i signal right before I engage gear 1 and move the car ?
There are some confusion here. Because, my school driving instructor didnt ask me to signal right. But i saw some CDC cars signalling right before they go up the slope. So i ask my instructor, he told me " u want to signal right, can signal, dont want to signal also nvm" But i saw even some private instructor cars signalling right before they move up the slope... can any1 confirm with me must i signal right b4 moving up the slope ? But then again, my instructor brought up a very good point.. " if you want to turn left, signal right for what ???" Can any1 clarify this ?
2. Parallel Parking
Just like to ask how far should the car go forward and how left should the car be placed before i reverse ? I am learning at Ubi btw. There are 2 parallel parking types in ubi - wide one (for test / practice) and the narrow one (mostly for tests but sometimes people practice on it too)
THANKS !!!
1. You must always signal before moving off. Since you're moving off the slope, you MUST signal right, check mirrors and blindspot then move off. No such thing as don't want to signal don't signal. Immediately after moving off then you turn off your signal lah! Then signal left if you wana turn left thereafter.Originally posted by investment:Hi to all,

I think there is no fixed distance from the left. For the same car, the distance can vary and u can still park it properly. Its not the distance I guess. Its about adjusting as you reverse into the slot.Originally posted by investment:Hi to all,

I dun think it's advisable to go into N gear.Originally posted by investment:thank you all for your constructive feedback !! i really appreciated it.
so that means if my car on the left side of the slope, before i move off, i signal right -> check rear mirror -> side mirror-> right blindspot -> clutch in 1st gear ->1/2 clutch + accelerator -> release handbrake and move off ?
if i am at the left side of the slope, i must signal left before moving off ?
cheers
When you stop on the slope, you'll be on first gear. No need to change gear as the instructor will ask you to move off immediately after u manage to get the car stationary.Originally posted by investment:thank you all for your constructive feedback !! i really appreciated it.
