Wahaha!!! today i went for my first driving lesson. i was driving the car to n fro, made many many u-turns, 3point turns, stunt skidding..kidding lah..haha..but it was fun, and it actually took up alot of brain work.
to MOVE OFF, have to step clutch, engage gear 1, release hand brake, see front mirror, have to see side mirror, have to see blind spot, have to signal, then have to step accelerator abit, then release clutch halfway to find biting point, then it will move, then after it move, u let go cluitch. if too fast, the car will jerk about..haha..or if too slow also it will jerk about.
To CHANGE LANE, have to check front mirror, blind spot, signal, maintain speed, then turn abit of steering wheel, and only can filter 1 lane at a time.
then to STOP. wah..another thing. have to check mirror behind, check blind spot, signal left, go to left lane, gently brake, then step clutch all the way, and use brake to stop really gently.
to U TURN, have to first coordinate the legs. engage gear 1, release clutch slowly, when the car moves, then can turn steering wheel, all the way! then when reaching the end, faster turun back, and step accelerator to zoom off. haha.
to 3 POINT TURN, have to stop as near the curb as possible, so have space, signal right then using the clutch to accelerate, move the car and immediately turn all the way right.and step the clutch and turn all the way to straight. all that in 2 seconds.
then.....change to reverse gear. and release the clutch abit till it moves, then quickly turn the wheel all the way left. and then step on the clutch and turn the wheel all the way back to straigh, then brake. wah..all that in another 2 seconds. *stress*..haha..
then change to gear 1, signal right, and when move, turn all the way right. and when the car is going on the same line as the road, quickly turn straight. then move off. its alot alot of actions.
and of cos, before driving, have to check mirrors, left right centre, check seatbelt, headlight, other cars, and then start engine.
i always tought driving was so easy. but after today's lesson, there's actually much more to learn. haha..
more lessons soon, and i'm going to pass my theory test coming soon. confirm i will pass it. make sure i will pass, then can learn more practical already. haha
You won! 4:33 PM
