Woke up with giddiness, vomitting and diahorea this morning. Thought nearly couldn't make it for lesson. But thinking of the 1 hour penalty cost to pay, I've decided to turn up.
Today's lesson is still at Lentor. Did some reverse right and left (directional change) and learnt vertical parking and circled Lentor a few rounds before going back to main road.
1. Directional Change:
- Check blind spot before moving backwards, while making directional change and after directional change
- Timing of steering
- Low speed control (of clutch)
2. Vertical Parking:
- Move backwards until the white pole is out of sight at the back diagonal corner, then full turn (in the direction of turn)
- If white pole appears by the back diagnoal corner again, half turn back until white pole is out of sight then turn back to the direction of turn again
- Until car is almost straight, steer back to neutral position
-When moving out, full turn (in the direction of turn) once the white pole is halfway thru the front door.
[ I mistaken the lamp post for the white pole when performing my first vertical parking. Instructor nearly fainted.]
