9th and 10th lesson!I haven't been updating cos lesson have been v packed like alternate days.
For the 9th lesson, I revised on my vertical parking, which I improved a lil lil bit ((:
New stuffs!
Sharp turn and moving up from slope
Mistakes!
Do not engage clutch too soon after you depress on your brake!!! Rmr!!!
Wide vision
Look when engagin turn
Use clutch to manage speed
For lesson 10, more vertical parking )): But I guess I am much much better already. My instructor asked me to start straight away before preparing. I managed. And only after I stop aside, he reminded me that I dont need warm up anymore Yea!
I did smth very cool today. I manage to balance my car on the slope without engaging the handbrake, only by using my clutch and accelerator. haha. Have fun doing it ((:
Today smth SUPER DUPER funny happened to me. haha! I was supposed to stop before the traffic light so that pedestrians can cross. I intended to stop. But I didn't manage to stop in time. And hence I crossed over a lil. The pedestrian was super funny. He hesitated to cross the road several times and I hesitated to move a few times and finally he decided not to cross the road. haha! So funny. My instructor was telling me I should just stop and let him cross without worries. And all because of my hesitant, he needs to wait for the next traffic light. HAHAHA!
Reminder: Clutch in after brake!
Comment from the instructor: Is not that your reaction is slow, it is because you do not have sufficient confidence. And as to why you do not have confidence, it is because you do not know how to estimate, observe and gauge.
I'll be learning parallel parking next wk. yea~ Enjoy driving a lil more than previously.
