An Exciting March Credits

Credits to my teaching instructer, Mr.Aang, and if anyone is looking for a driving instructor out there, near Jelutong/Perak Road/Greenlane, go to his place! Jaya Driving School, near Jelutong Market.

Kudos to all my friends I met during the lessons and the tests days, you guys made my day...

Jagdeep, Pang, Farid, Thinagaren, Imran and Nazreev.

If I missed out anyone I met during the testing days, please do tell :)

Joshua, Over and OUT!

An Exciting March : The Third Day(FINAL)

Another day, another JPJ TEST going on in Sungai Dua (okay, not reaaaly another day, just another, EXCITING MARCH day . xD

Today was faster than usual, as I was there for only Bhg 3 of the car.

Before starting the Bhg2 for the freshies(Bhg3 already started and was going on), a small prep talk was given by the JPJ tester, none other than the guy who failed me last time! Haha, no grudges man, no worries xD.

While he was doing the talk, they called out "Nombor 6! Nombor 6! Joshua! Joshua John Samuel!" Okay, my turns up!

Goto TESTER;
Send EXAM_DOCUMENT_6;

After Number 4 went, I just waited there again.
Number 4 came back in the passengers seat (the unspoken sign of failure on the test) so I was kinda nervous (person before Number 4 too failed)

Went along the route, driving carefully, and in 12 minutes, scored 17/20 marks!

Phew, as March nears an end, the end has already dawned upon my driving school days, a graduate is me! =D

An Exiting March : 2nd day

Haha, March 15th, another JPJ test day!

This time I would be doing both car AND motorcycle.

The word of the day is waiting.

Waiting for the motorbike Bhg3 only : 2 hours.

Did see some nice wipeouts though...I still don't get how some people can flip their bike wheels skyward on the narrow bridge....doing that with the Virago would be murder xP.

Finally! My turns up!
*the satisfying soung of the bike starting up and engine idling*
*clutch and gear 1*

Remember the Previous posts Diagram? Here it is again!


Yep, waiting 2 hours to do 2 minutes of Harley Davidson-esque driving xD
Anyway, I passed!

After that, another wait for the car Bhg 2...

Waiting , waiting


Finally 2 hours later (12-ish)

Bhg2 Test Time!

Hill- Probably the scariest part of the whole Bhg2 went without a hitch. Yellow line, Hand brake, Hand Up, accelerando, and voila!
Parking and three point turning-Easy! Hakunamatata =D

Waiting , waiting

Two moar hours (2:30-ish)

"Nombor 71 ! Nombor 71!"

Okay, my turn!

*standing there while noticing that examiner is taking some time explaining something to the guy inside the car that just finished (I'm no lip reader, but I assume he's explaining how that guy failed?)

Outta the school(in the car) !
Over to the corner(in the car)!
Getting outta the turn (in the car)!
Into the junction (in the car)!
Lady walks in front of me (out of the car(she was) ) !
Examiner steps on his brake pedal (in the car)!
And then I get pulled over (Outta the car (He says) )!
And then I get back to the school! (in the car)
DU du du du du du dum

But yeah, 2hours + 2hours + 2hours = 6hours of waiting to be failed in....*drum roll*
.... 2 minutes! xP

HAiz, another day to go then....

Done procastinating with this license and have finished it in hmm....1 year 4 months(give or take)

Sat on the bike feeling slightly nervous (mind you, my license class only had two riders that day)

Figure 8-Easy enough, went in circles 4 times (1 and a half full 8's)
Narrow Bridge- This was amazing. went onto the bridge, nearly fell off at first but managed to straighten the bike(somehow) before slowly transversing the bridge(required time: 7sec, Me: 10sec :D)
Cones and Emergency Brake-No sweat! Easy as pie? haha, even aced the sharp turn after the emergency brake part, felt good about that.
Bhg3, "Road" Test- [diagram]



Yea, straight line and two turns, what could go wrong?
Doing hand signals before moving : 1 point
