Throttle jitters - Road trip

Two friday nites ago, I begun my maiden journey on the treacherous roads in Bukit Batok.

While gingerly making my way out to the roads, I was pretty shaken by the gigantic 'tanker ship' aka the BBDC free shuttle bus turning into the driveway.

I dun understand why the driving centre needs to have a huge travel coach as their free shuttle bus.....


Anyway, I was thrilled when I hit fourth gear :)
Thought I was travelling real fast, but when i checked my odometer, I was only travelling at 60km/hr.


I hate turnings, especially at crossings.
I need to master the changing down to 2nd gear in one swift movement when I start to turn.
Whenever I change my gear, I would forget about my right hand holding the steering wheel.


I hate taxis who stop after the traffic junctions.
A taxi stopped right after the traffic junction and I waited till the traffic lights changed from green to red and to green again before I could move on...'

I really need to improve on...

1) The moving off from stationary - sometimes too slow, sometimes jerky
2) The braking - too abrupt and jerky
3) The tendency to align the car towards the right while travelling
4) The checking of mirrors before turning, moving and stopping

I need more practices...
