Losing streak
Lost waterpolo match
Well, when there are lots of up recently, there will too come the downs. I guess the last *up* was me getting the news to be “attached” to home for Army Open House projects and tasking. Then, luck came falling down- first with us losing against Commandos in the regiment waterpolo match, the second lost after arty.
Driving test
And secondly (rather personal but, argh!) by failing my 1st driving test with 28points, frankly I felt I drove very well, did the circuit like a pro. If all my other instructors don’t see a problem with my driving and I don’t see why one tester like this a sore thumb Mr Poh Ah Soon (my tester) from the traffic police department, think otherwise. If there is a quota to and for first time passes a day, so be it. And even the regulation the system just don’t allow free play, everybody are all set to go through a stereotypical system set, bringing about results as disastrous as our notorious education system. Its time things should change for the better.
Mistakes I know/committed
Incorrect braking – 4pts
Fail to check mirror before slowing- 2pts
Incorrect positioning at junction- 2pts
Delay in moving off- 2pts
Insufficient accel- 4pts“Mistakes” I didn’t even commit.
Fail to use appropriate gear- 4pts (I am always very good at management)
Speed too slow for road- 2pts (I was speeding!)
Fail to signal/Give wrong signal- 8pts (Maybe late, but never missed it)
Dumb testers… 
go stuff myself with tons of good food with my fam now…
Hey!
I got tt horrible mr poh ah soon for my driving test also. the one from bbdc. I totally agree with u. He gave me 28 points too and most of the mistakes that he penalized me for are almost the same yours. I think it’s total crap can. i’m super pissed coz i think it’s so unfair. plus i really dun have all the time and money in the world to keep retaking this bloody test. argh!!! so angry manz. besides, my instructors always praise my steady and safe driving, so i dun see why he can’t pass me. they shd really revamp this whole system. tt quota thing is TOTAL nonsense. those damned driving centres must be earning big bucks from us. gosh, can feel my blood pressure rising already.
Mistakes i really did commit:
Improper turning-2 (arc abit wide)
Incorrect positioning-4 (car abit slanted)
Slow reaction in avoiding danger caused by others-10 (this idiotic guy didn’t stop at the STOP sign junction even though i was driving by)
Mistakes which i DIDN’T commit:
Incorrect braking-2 (my braking has always been well controlled)
Speed too slow-6 (crap, no cars horned at/overtook me and i maintained a comfortable 50-70km/h)
Insufficient acceleration-4 (oh, i didn’t know i am supposed to jam on the accelerator until the car jerks violently forward. duh. *rolling eyes*)
Ahha so this mr poh really very notorious ah…. cool, dun worry loh, just take again, just be sure to have all those test taken stamps on your PDL whenever u take a test. Even if u renew yr PDL, jus fasten yr old one together jus to show the number of attempts you’ve taken (or your $$ spent on retests so far
)
Personally I’ve taken & passed on my third, costed alot, but some testers have a very strong point against 1st time passes, once u like 2-3 attempt they usually not as strict already.
lol..
damn todae i got dis Poh guy..zzzz.. fail lol..
26 points….
he sae i delay moving off,, not enuff acceleration and wad signal wrongly which i didnt rmb doing them..zzz
diao..
Damn..
I gt 30+ pts thanks to him, nonsensical man. Since out to fail me why not give me 50+ ??
I just failed by him recently. google his name, waa, steady
whoa haha I didn’t know this tester, Mr Poh is so infamous. I mean I was failed by him, but it can’t be the case that he fails everyone he takes right?
I am sure there are people who passed through him, or only people who fail are directed here via Google! whoops!
I failed with 30pts with him as well. The points deducted was almost totally the same as you. He penalised me for never signal, but I did signal. It was raining outside heavily thus I drove at a speed of 50-60KM/H, but he said I drive TOO SLOW. The car around me was driving at around the same speed as well! Hopefully I will pass on my second attempt.
I just got tested by him. I failed because of slow driving…he wanted me to speed when there’s no cars inside the crank course and S-course. I was like WTF?! i got 14 demerit points because of those ’slow’ driving.
