Step 12: Traffic Police Practical Test

Stage : Traffic Police Test

There is only 1 timing in the morning: 7:50am.
Go scan your IC at lobby first then go to motorcycle's office to check your tag number.
The lowest the number, the faster is your turn.

You will also be given a clear plastic holder to put your IC and PDL inside then pass to instructor before you go for your warm up session.
The warm up session takes around 30mins-45mins.
It's about Lane changing, Slope, S and Crank course, Plank, Pylon and E-brake.

After that, park your bike then return back to motorcycle's office and wait for one Traffic police tester to take in charge of you. You will have to say your Name and IC number to make sure it's you.

So at around 9:30am, the traffic police practical test will start.
First #1 to #10 number to go first.
After 10-15 minutes, #11 to #20 numbers to go and so on.
There were #46 of us.
My number are #14 so i waited about 30 minutes for my turn.
You have to do it alone. You can't even follow a rider in front.

Anyway, very important is to wait for the TP tester to wave at you before you start riding off:
1: Starting Point
2: S and Crank Course
3: Plank (After plank, just go for pylon. No need to wait for TP tester to wave at you)
4: E-brake

Oh yes, the slope and S course, please keep to left lane.
For E-brake, keep to right lane.
But don't worry, the cone will be there to lead you which lane you have to stop at.

After E-brake, you will have to go out of public road to do Stage 7.01.
There will be about 4-5 TP testers at public road.
Try not to look at them as you have to pay more attention to the road, traffic and blindspot.
After public road, go to end point to park your bike and go to Level 3, classroom 4 at 11am.
The result will come out at 11:45am.

1 or 2 instructor will enter the classroom at 11:45am.
They will start calling your tag number.
So if your number is being called, it means that you fail and have to go to another classroom.
There were about half of class failed. So yes, i passed at one go!
You need below 20 demerit points to pass.

I have 12 demerit points.
4 points = Wobble when changing lane (Maybe my body posture looks wobble when i gear up to 2)
4 points = Wobble when negotiating bend (Maybe my body posture looks wobble when i gear up to 2)
2 points = Incorrect technique at E-brake (No idea what's wrong but i didn't stop after the red line)
2 points = Poor acceleration when moving off (Pull too much throttle as i was abit impatient. Have to move off slowly.)


After that, they will talk about ride safety, watch some videos and do the rider's pledge lastly.
At 12:05pm, you will be able to book Expressway Familiarization Ride (EFR) before you can be a qualified rider.
It will be either 1:20pm to 3pm or 3:20pm to 5pm.
