down with flu
Friday, 29 May 2009
I am down with flu since tuesday.. sad. But still had my driving lesson on wednesday.
Being a responsible citizen, I self-quarantined after my lesson and thursday. Couldnt take it anymore, I went for another driving lesson today. And I found out that my instructor is having some symptoms of cold/flu.. oh huh. Pray hard that he will not fall sick.
Today I learnt about changing gears gently (hahha.. instructor commented I am violent towards the gear level), driving on slopes and stopping/moving off them. My car almost stalled because I depressed the brake a bit too hard (kinda kiasi that the car might roll back). Luckily, the instructor remainded me and I managed to depress the clutch. ~phew..
In short when you about to stop your car: Release the accelerator, depress the brake gently i.e. intermittent braking and depress the clutch, allow the car to cruise a bit and then depress the brake gently.
Room for improvement: The stopping technique, remember to check the rear mirror and side mirrors every 3-5 seconds.
