The instructor will bring you to one full circuit lap which consist of:
1) Lane changing
2) Up and down slope
3) S and crank
4) Plank and pylon
5) E-brake
No timing involved which mean you can ride at your own sweet time.
The full circuit lap is for your Stage 5.02 circuit test route.
Very important to remember.
After that, you will be doing the pillion ride.
It means that you will get one partner to sit on your bike and you will ride one full circuit lap.
Don't worry if you ride out in the middle of the plank during pillion ride.
Better not let instructor sit on your bike or else you will hear all his nagging but it's for your own good.
After one full circuit lap, switch side which mean your pillion will be riding and you sit on his/her bike.
Until the instructor says stop,
he will bring you to the cross junction traffic light where you will be doing the U-turn.
I wasn't good at it for few times but after that i know what to do.
So during the U-turn, turn right to the middle and stop to check for incoming vehicles.
Then 2/5 throttle, hold half-clutch, shift the handlebar to right, slightly foot-brake,
your legs must hold tight to the tank and maintain the body balance.
Once you go straight, Gear up to 2 and release clutch after that.
Don't worry if you aren't good at U-turn as you will be learning it again in Stage 6.01.
If you're not confident in one full circuit lap, you can take RC (Circuit Revision) before you take 5.02 circuit test route. (I passed at one go)
Stage 5.02 (Circuit Test)
It will be your circuit test route.
Must less than 12 demerit points overall to pass.
Firstly, the instructor will tell you to go for few rounds of circuit lap as warm up.
So from the starting point, you will have to go step by step:
1) Lane changing - Don't go too wide when turning.
2) Up and down slope - Careful not to stall engine or go backward.
3) S and crank - Not more than 11 seconds in S and not more than 6 seconds in Crank.
4) Plank and pylon - Not less than 6 seconds to exit plank and not more than 6 seconds to exit pylon.
5) E-brake - Don't brake too hard and only press clutch lastly when about to stop in 1 second.
Once the instructor say start test now,
you will have to go 1 row as instructor want to watch 1 by 1 to do his markings.
So if you're 2nd position above, just follow the 1st bike in front of you.
But remember to go 1 by 1 or wait for the instructor to call you to go in 5 steps.
Overall i had 8 points.
2 points - I made abit of left wide turning in junction after the slope.
4 points - I forgot to check right blindspot when i exited pylon. I think i turned my head slightly.
2 points - Poor acceleration (I was like what?! At least i didn't stall or acceleration too fast.)
Passed on 11th Apr 2016
Once you pass, you will receive:
1. Riding Assessment Checklist
(To check what are your demerit points)
2. Theoretical Circuit Training Programme
(To show to counter that you completed all Stage 1-5 before applying PDL)
Then you can start to book Defensive Riding Theory lesson 1.01, 1.02 and 1.03.
After that, you need to apply PDL.
PDL - Provisional Driving License that allow you to ride outside BBDC on the road with instructor/s for Stage 6 and above.
It costs $25 for 6 months valid. (I passed at one go)
