学车记(2)

Life is not that easy thing; when at difficulties, never give up. When you finanally get it, you will know, all are worthy. SO be brave.

It is the 3rd class with Mr. Lim. I have practiced on the road, often feel humiliating when the car stucks on the road. When the car behind horns, when you are in hurry, you often make mistakes. Well, as a little kid, experience grows up from the mistakes...

1) When releasing the clutch, never release it suddenly, only when it goes smoothly, then release it. Do press the accelerator smoothly and firmly, without giving enough oil, the car will stop.

2) When turn left, signal left, and check the rear mirror.

3) When come to the merging lane, if at right lane, do check the left side mirror to see whether there are other cars join in. (Without checking, -6 marks); if at left lane, need to signal right(if not wrong).

4) You need to use 4th gear, otherwise, immediately fail.

5) Before the junction, change from 4th gear to 3rd gear at 3 roadlight distance, change to 2nd gear at 2 roadlight distance.

6) At approaching the junction, release the acc to have engine break, may need to press break a bit to slow down. Only must stop, then press clutch, press stop.

7) If instructor says turn left, at 1 roadlight distance, signal left, if says turn right, signal immediately.

9) Turn left/right skill: 3 quarter(45 deg), 5 quarter (90 deg), 7 quarter (180 deg).
At turning, don't press accelerator.

10) Turn left, keep left; turn to right, keep right.

Panic... nervers... exciting

Here are some procedues at moving off:

2. Hold the wheel, adjust the seat(back forward), make sure stretching the left foot on the clutch pedal be comfortable
3. Check the free gear
4. Release the clutch pedal
5. Check the rear mirror and side mirror
6. Start engine, turn ignition key to right twice.
7. Wear the seat belt
wait for instruction
8. Press the clutch pedal
9. Press the accerator pedel smoothly, and keep to 1.5 to 2
10. Release the clutch pedel half way, smoothly until the car move, smoothly release the clutch pedal, and increase on accelerator pedal.
