Upon hearing that I anxious then want to change lane, check the mirror but since I'm behind slope, I saw the top part of the van coming and I deem its far enough for me to change lane safely, but unexpectedly the van was travelling faster than I thought so he horned me = immediate failure.
About the fail to look out for traffic/pedestrian, not sure is this the problem but I think its because I didn't reduce speed because I'm travelling at 30km/h which I thought it was slow enough(?) when the pedestrain is right beside the road, on the kerb, waiting to cross.
Lesson learned:
1) Slow down, no matter what speed, when you see pedestrian at side.
2) Fking keep left, if the the tester say go straight, don't assume anything.
But fair enough, I do know my driving skill sucks and need to polish up abit. So attempting second time would deemed safer and more experiences for me.
You got owned!!!The van driver know you are having tp test so he deliberately drive faster so that he can horn you loud and clear.

take more double decker bus rides. sit right infront and take it from start to end.....

Yea, maybe that's one of the reason too (I'm deducted for 2pts though). Been trying to recall and reflect what I did wrong yesterday and thought of a few.
-
2 points only...Haha
-
2 pts is bad, here 2 pts there 2 pts not enough points to deduct liao. Cannot be more than 19 pts leh.

There are some drivers who like to chu stunt. Not sure if they are noob drivers or simply crazy lao jiao driver.
One example, my car on the left was running parallel to another car. Suddenly, the car wants to turn left. Maybe he didnt check his blind spot, he suddenly swerve left as if i am invisible. If i didnt brake, sure crash one lor.

I experience that before too... usually occurs when the driver is on his/her conversation and tend to overlook some safety aspects of it... Just brake safely and give the loudest horn of your life.....that should solve that irritable problem...

if u are at ubi, pls be wary of foreign workers riding bicycles, especially those that are wobbly...

especially those that cross diagonally at the traffic junction when the right turn green arrow is on.
