pasir ris/tampines/bedok has been a place for a few years now for L plate learners. their training center is located at just behind vicom kaki bukit. And why are u complaining? they hog the roads? too slow? or jam brakes in front of you

i agree [smash]

 

i recently go for the conversion course

 

the 3 tonner is realy very hard to drive

 

many many blind spots

 

the weight of vehicle makes it difficult to move off and stop (don do brake stunts in front of 3 tonner :wacko::blink: )

 

driving one gives me no pleasure

 

it was like operating a machinery [shocked]

 

i did drive to pasir ris [smash][:p]

About 2 weeks ago, I was behind a 3 tonner - double L plate, somewher inside Kaki Bukit. I just watched that fella mounted a curb and almost hit a fire hydrant.

 

I think whoever the instructor inside must had a field day scolding the trainee driver. Luckily nobody and nothing was damaged, only that both left wheels of the vehicle was on the pedestrain walkway. [sweatdrop][sweatdrop][sweatdrop]

 

I make it a point to either stay far behind or quickly overtake these vehicles.

3 tonner is manual.. 5 tonner is auto gear.. In SAF, You need to learn manual gear before you can drive auto, to get military class 4 licence..

When I was learning the 3 tonner last time, I had to use 2 hands to engage the reverse gear.. [sweatdrop] luckily the forward gear are easier a bit. And I am one of those who got gold in IPPT, can do more than 15 chin up, etc.. After each lesson, the wrist really hurts.. You are right.. No driving pleasure haha..

 

And the brakes.. Step hard and you can send yourself flying if you forget to buckle the seatbelt.. Not hard enough and the monster will take forever to stop.. Took myself 10 minutes to get used to it.. That was when I missed Civic so much..

The manual gear 3 tonner is the old mercedes truck which is no longer in use. I remember I use that for my SAF driving test. [sweatdrop]. The Fiat 3 Tonner is the same as the 5-tonner MAN truck both is auto gear different is 5-ton air conditioned and no SWD but got stupid speed limitator that restrict the speed to 50km/h.
