and or bout ur experience wif the tester???
One is durin my first test tat time... I jus moved the car only... Less than 3 mins... Then coz i mus check my right, i comin out to main lane ma... So i see only the right... Left so got car, but i tot i beside them, who so blur cannot see the car so big beside me??? End up, really got one v de blur de... I move, the person so move... N we almost collided lor! Somemore test car leh!!! Haiz... Dunno if is L-plate i will be more pissed off, or be more pissed off coz tat person also takin test... Tester slam on the brake... Coz i lookin n concentratin only on the right... Tester ways look on the other side, dun want look at u de... So he focus on the left n first to see the car move lor...
Go back he scolded me... KInda of... Say wat if he don slam the brake, the cars will collide... Though not ur fault... But then kena 10pts for slow reaction in danger caused by others... Right from the start tis kind of thing happen... Give him bad impression liao lo...
Durin my 2nd test, i was inside the circuit... i wanted to turn right, but opp lane got a car. Jus stop quite far, but i dunno it will move anytime not, coz nev give signal... So i also jus stop there n wait... Tester said tis: " Remember tat u R now on ur own... Ur inst is not beside u. Mak ur own decison!"
Quicky move off liao... Don delay....
Then doin tis vertical parkin leh... Most only can have 1 car waitin, 1 car doin... There already got 2 cars waitin... Tester ask me to go in... Tat means i be the 3rd car, n be eatin into the lane n blockin other cars lor... I asked; Go in? He says Yes...
So hor, i no choice go in lor... Then he got out of the car leh... He stand there to sort of direct traffic or look out for traffic or wat i so dunno... Finally my turn liao. He still dun want get in. He signal for me to move. I move a bit... Stop. He siganl gain. So gain, i move a bit n stop. Finally he got in, then i started to position my car then do the parkin... DAre not move too far ma! The weather so hot, n wait mak him walk too much, die ah.... Wait he not happy ah... haha
But he so not too bad la... There is tis place sure do E-brake de... Tat's wat my inst said anywae... So is anytime will Ebrake de lor. I stand by abit liao... Coz each time ebrake, i will get a shock de... Then wait v luan... Dunno wat to do one, coz of the jerk, so i need lik sort of xin li zun bei...
I check mirror, behind empty... so is anytime lor... I happen to change gear at the same time i saw his hand lik wan hit the dash board... End up he wait for me to change finish my gear, move a little while, then E-brake... Hmm... Not so mean lor, tester...
I realise tat tester hor, keep lookin at me, seein my expression... Mayb coz i 19, gal... So want see scared or not... Each time i do slightly dangerous thingy... eg, change lane... Tis tme of coz more Hiong then 1st test... or watever la... He will kind of turn n look at me lor...
I got tis kind of habit tat each time i do somethin wrong or dangerous or wat, i will surely have some kind of expression or mak noise de lor! My inst keep teachin me to cover up mistakes... Pretend u nev make it, coz mayb is not noticed at all... U lik tat, chim po ur mistakes! Then got tis time the car very jerky coz i didn't engage the gear properly...
My face grimaced as i usually do... Whole test controllin lik hell liao leh... Then tester got see lor! He so got turn his head to look at me at tat pt of time... N i kinda of caught the expression abit... Lik oh, tis is wat i m waitin for!
I thinkin die ah... The rest of journey, bite my tongue n keep st face... Lucky no more such expression liao... Phew... -

I cant really remember my driving test experience...but i felt quite stress on tat day as my gf also had her TP the same day as me.She tease me tat she will laugh at me if she pass n i fail...tat makes me even worst...
I almost kanna "smoke" when the tester told me to hurry up turn right @ the STOP line....if not sure fail....i almost fall into his tricks....so after i stop,he praise me for being alert...he claim tat a lot of pple kanna 'kill' by this trick...
then for the rest of the test i was very careful of wat he said...afraid to kanna con by him again.
I kanna screw by him when i used 4th gear at the bends in Teck Y. so i 'score' 12 pts. -

i passed my driving test years ago... i remembered i was doing the circuit quite ok, after that, supposed to go on the road, that time, the road outside the gate of the test centre was under repairs and there was a big constrution machine right in the middle of 2 lanes... i stopped and ask the tester whether to proceed, he asked 'you taking the test or i taking the test?' i was
and in the end, act like checking for safety all round before moving out... later on the road, we proceeded along the test route, but he told me to turn left, and then left again to go back into the centre... i was like, i must have failed... when we returned, i was almost like xian already, he proceeded to talk to me regarding a few safety tips and after that looked at my paper, calculated the points and told me i PASSED! i was so happy... my dad said i passed either becoz i showed lots of confidence in the circuit or the instructor was lazy and wanted to go back early... imagine just going 1 round outside the test centre to pass the on the road part... 
but i did remember my instructors telling me that if you show you are very confident and very good inside the circuit and impress the tester, normally, you would have already pass in their mind, unless you super cork up on the road... thats my test experience... only ONCE... -
I took my driving test back in 1995. I got a route that is normally full of pedestrians but few cars (Bukit Batok Driving Centre). I prayed for God to remember me in my driving, because I admit I'm not one of the best students around.
The route that day not only has few cars but also no pedestrians! I drove back and the tester signed on my test sheet and congratulated me. I passed with ZERO points. -
my driving test was pretty straightforward. did a short round in circuit, but covered most of the stuff, hit a pole while doing parallel parking but otherwise ok, went out to the road a short round, then back to circuit. 1st time test, passed.

driving test...
1st time, circuit 0 points.

Hrm... took my test last december... took it in Ubi... got Route 8... my tester also quite slack... he hardly moved from the seat... except when he wanted to do the E brake... I went round the circuit... E braked... then went outside... to those who don't know what route 8 in Ubi is, it's the one that goes past the school... quite a simple route... then I came back... finish liao... got out... the tester gave me my score... 12pts... hee... So happy... 1st time somemore... under private instructor...

1st time, drive around circuit.. pretty okay until at the intersection in the circuit... red lights so stop..
i'm going straight.. the dizzy woman on the other side is going to turn... signal on.. and when green lights come on, i move off... she decides she has right of way and turns... and keeps going..
tester screams (serious!) and i react very quickly, emergency brakes... the tester pulls the handbrake... AFTER i apply the emergency brakes... he fails me.. i argue with him.. even dragged him out to the place to show him that there were 4 skid marks as opposed to 2 if he had pulled the handbrakes.. he waves me off and i keep arguing with him... the bastard fails me anyway...
2nd time... i think kena marked... took me around the circuit and made me go through EVERY damned thing... then took me out and made me drive around in the open roads for about 45 minutes (i'm not kidding... the instructor was pale with worry).. then the bastard tester started giving me demerits for imaginary things.. never give way to pedestrians (no pedestrians at all!) turning too wide... blah blah... i argue with him about the pedestrians bit coz there were NO pedestrians in the middle of the ulu place we were... the bastard failed me anyway....
so i said the hell with it... and walked off without even letting the bastard finish...
a few months later, i went again... they probably forgot about me... passed.. perfect no demerit points at all.. perfect score!
all this from taking about 10 more hours of lessons after the 2nd fiasco...
i think the testers should be more professional...
all this caused me to drain my bank account to a few cents and i was just a NSF at that time... -

waah.... that's bloody unconscionable.... wilful exercise of judgment. i certainly won't ever give way to him should he ever be a pedestrian!Originally posted by the Bear:2nd time... i think kena marked... took me around the circuit and made me go through EVERY damned thing... then took me out and made me drive around in the open roads for about 45 minutes (i'm not kidding... the instructor was pale with worry).. then the bastard tester started giving me demerits for imaginary things.. never give way to pedestrians (no pedestrians at all!) turning too wide... blah blah... i argue with him about the pedestrians bit coz there were NO pedestrians in the middle of the ulu place we were... the bastard failed me anyway....
i flunked my test the first time round. still remembered that i was driving car No. 75. when i went for my second test, i was stunned to see car No. 75 waiting for me again! the tester of course didn't accede to my request for a change of car and i was really jumpy throughout the second test. fortunately, fortune smiled on me and i passed. -
Check out my experience here!

This is amazing. I enjoyed reading the posts, seriously.
It was really how I felt.
Ok, bad news, my test is next week Thursday, 1.55pm. I'm a private student.
I'm going to the circuit for another 2 times (total 4) before my test....and I aint confident of passing.. i mean.. my private instructor in Kallang doesnt give any helpful comments, he nags and nags and screams and makes you panic and he doesnt wait for your actions... he screams too early and he has kinda no confidence in his students. I aint the only one being yelled at...
Sometimes I scream back at him telling him that I AM A STUDENT, ITS NOT WRONG TO MAKE MISTAKES. And he would shut up for the next 40 minutes leaving an eerie silence in the car. And for the next 40 minutes would be perfect driving, no mistakes with parking or road driving... but if i fail to do something he'd tell me nicely..
Of course I'm nervous about next week Thursday's test..
What about the testers? I was told by my friend that afternoon tests are usually taken by the young testers while mornings would be the old birds...
Is this true? And does the tester keep his cool or does he scream at you?
I hope somebody replies soon *twiddle* thanks! -
Oh sorry for repost...
And he says i'm too hard on the accelerator pedal but sometimes i just cant help it.. especially during parking.. the car aint moving much but the sound is VROOOOM
Any tips? Oh yea i wear adidas and the soles are thick, anything to do with that? -

i went to the test at 21 August 2002. I sat down beside the tester. i greet him good morning. told him that if i passed the ang pao in my pocket with $8888 dollars was his.
in the end i passed.
and i gave him the ang pau.
inside got $4 bucks. -
I'll put stacks of plain paper inside.

i wore slippers... the "power" brand... bermudas and singlet. the tester must be mistaken and started ordering kopi from me.Originally posted by HENG@:i wore addidas and i passed my 1st try, dun think its the shoes, its the leg muscles.
