gonna take my class 5 road test with a manual car...
gonna take my class 5 road test with a manual car next friday in burnaby
just wondering is there anything special need to pay attention to?
cos i heard my fd got points deducted becos he was shifting in a turn...
there is no problem with taking an exam with manual cars, many friends have done that...
diff ppl has diff bad habits, shifting at a turn could be one ~ unless u are well experienced, but a lot of time u probably dun wanna do that...
shift point is also important: if u make ur shift too close to a turn, that will also be considered as dangerous action; make sure u downshift early enough and make every action nice and clear...
no heel / toe / revmatching necessary, you are just going to give the examiner a bad image u are gonna race with anyone on the road
If you're confident with manual, why not take a test with it, go for it!
Watch out when you start on a slope, even if you rollback an inch, the examiner can deduct marks, use your e-brake!
Keep both hands on the steering wheel if you're not shifting. Starting from a stop at a left turn could be a bit tricky. Bad habit to rest one hand on the shift knob...do that after you pass the test...LOL
Drive the car as smooth as you possibly can.
Never leave the car in neutral when moving. i.e. When heading towards a stop, brake and downshift according to the proper speed.
Downshift if you need to, don't lug the engine, don't use 2nd gear to take off.
becos i got a manual car only...
and i have been driving it since i got my class 7
(almost 5 years... licence gonna expire soon thats y i need renew lol)
its the only car i get used to thats y i must take the road test with it
but i never learn manual from a driving teacher
so i have no idea what i can't do while driving (like shifting in a turn)
i know i must have many bad habbits
so hoping someone can share their experience what i should look out for...
