I went for my 1st driving revision last evening. My test'll be on this Fri and I've only signed up for 2 lessons. Yesterday & tomorrow evening. Not that I don't want to practise more but I've been busy with work lately & I didn't dare to book too many lessons in case I couldn't make it.
Actually I couldn't wait to meet my instructor, Rav, as I wanted to pour out what's been bottled up for 3 months! I want to know what I experienced, was it normal? Rav wanted to know what went wrong too. The moment he looked at the name of my tester, he gasped out "orh... him ar.." then gave me a sympathetic smile.
Me: "please tell me he's a mean person..."
Rav: "ya, he's known for being difficult one.. very ON one.. aiya you got him ar.. (another round of soft, sympathetic laugh)"
Well.. that's all I wanted to hear. Rav said the monday after my test, the 1st thing when he saw Mr P (my warm-up instructor that day) in the morning was to ask him whether I passed. Mr P told him that I did pretty well during the warm-up session & it shouldn't be a problem to pass but didn't know why I failed. Rav said just 1 or 2 weeks ago Mr P still asked about me. As he looked through, he's quite surprised I was penalised on all the small lil mistakes, except for the unjustified "flickering green arrow" part. And the 4 points I got in the circuit was when I did my parallel parking (now I know), not the vertical parking stunt which I was demanded to perform.
After stopping for such a long time, I was a lil rusty in the circuit. It didn't help at all that I was driving the brand new Honda City for the first time as they have changed all the test cars to the new City 2 months ago, shortly after my 1st test. I'm starting to worry now.. as I gotta be oriented with the new car & there're also some changes on the roads too. No choice.. will have to try fully utilise the remaining 100mins to get myself familiarised with the changes.
Tell myself to take it easy.. as I'm not the only one who's going through things like this.
By the way, hubby won't be around on that day. Very coincidentally his company trip falls on this weekend and he's to leave early morning. Hmm :(
