[[Vroom..extra stage]]
Somehow or rather, I think I am starting to get crazy about driving, in additon to Jolin's songs.... It started off with Maximum Tune 2..oh shit...even changed my nick to Maximum Ben..die liao...
Qn: Is it normal for someone who just started learning driving to drive at 50km/h from one juction to another?
Signs that I am possessed by the "Maximumly-Tuned" Speed Demon.
1. When my car wasn't aligned to the lane, I jerked the steering wheel as though I am trying to drift around a bend in Max Tune...don't know sia, it just came naturally
2. When told to tap the accelerator gently when steeping into the car, I caused to needle to shoot up to 5+, 6 revolutions.
3. I accelerate when going around bends.
4. I have to be constantly reminded that I am driving too fast.
5. I shift gears in my instructor's car as though I am playing Maximum Tune, ie. jerk the gear stick. I'm truely sorry, it came naturally too.
6. When told to brake gently, my action threw my instructor forward, barely missing the dashoard. It wasn't my fault. He wasn't wearing a seatbelt.
7. I feel the car is too slow and keep accelerating.. Think it was about 55km/h from one juction to another. I was gently reminded to slow down.
8. I tried to shoot past a red light. I was only a car lenght from the line, I think I would made it, but the instructor stepped on the brake. Why does'nt he trust me?
9. When U-turning, I full locked the wheel till there was a "THUD!!". I was advised that the sound wasn't necessary to be heard. Paisay la..this too is natural.
10. I still turn the wheel too much when changing lanes...but this is not really an issue k!
I would like to thank my instructor for putting up with me. Luckily I chose this guy because he is very patient. Were there more white hairs that I noticed? Hmmm...
