We did all the courses in the circuit (including the one specially for auto car - moving onto ramp). The side mirror was not in the same position as the manual car so I had some difficulties adjusting to the indicators, In addition, it was difficult to gauge correctly the car position while doing the parking at night due to reduced visibility. Then, we went out to the streets. It was easy to accelerate to around 60-70km. My left hand still have the tendency to look for the gear. As I was used to use engine brake while slowing down during manual driving, I realize there was not much engine brake for auto car. So for a few times, I ended up braking a bit too late.
Things to note:
- Step foot brake with right foot. Never step foot brake with left foot.
- Should not step foot brake and accelerator at the same time
- Auto car does not have a lot of engine brake
- When turn left/right at a junction, the first vehicle will go to the pocket, second car wait behind stop line, after first vehicle has passed, check traffic light if it has turn amber or blinking and blind spot before moving off
- If there is a vehicle stopping at a single lane with double white line in between (and it not about to move any time soon), stop the car, make sure it is not going to move (ask tester if can overtake over the double white line), signal left, make sure incoming lane is clear, and proceed to overtake.
- For route 2, after U turn at Bukit Batok Road, maintain lane discipline (go to left lane). Only perform lane change to the right just before passing the overhead bridge to turn right at the next traffic junction
