My right knee came out and I rammed a motorcyclist.
Okay just kidding. But my knee did come out.
Anyway, optimistic karebu was right. I cleared up to subject 4. But barely, I think. My moving off is weird. Every first attempt to move off from rest, my engine will stall. And it will always be smooth on the second. I was cleared, since the minimum requirement is : able to move off and stop smoothly without stalling engine REPEATEDLY.
Steering; no problem. I found it slow not to step on the accelerator (without accelerator the car does move -10km/h with clutch engaged) and hence I sped around the circuit but was told repeatedly to slow down.
The circuit is like, gradual, sharp bends, curvy, zebra crossing(a lot of instructors are like wide-eyed when crossing the zebra crossing which is part of the newbie circuit. haha. you really must see the looks on their faces when they cross. 'can this newbie brake?' 'did the newbie see me?') and only one yellow box for you to test your braking skills in. That explains why I was speeding - to get to it, stop, and then to my problematic part - moving off from rest.
When they say the accelerator is sensitive, it really damnright is. To move off you need 1500rpm. That rpm is given by a force equivalent to that of depressing a balloon by exactly 0.5cm with your foot(As you know legs are strong, so it's hard to control. They say it's easier for girls with the accelerator control part; but not others.) Slightly more, the tachometer shoots up to 3000-4000rpm and you are fucked.
Instructor says I may be able to hit main roads tomorrow and use gear 3. I just hope my moving off gets better. Braking too. I don't wanna die on the roads yet!
Oh. The ebil dark mark of novicehood - flashin hazard lights.
