1st Initiation

So Nic came along and got me to take him for a ride. We drove from my place all the way to Yishun.

First we went up the expressway, then he chose quite a challenging road, in the sense there were a lot of bends, lots of blind spots and humps. Which i didn't do too well with the humps. Scrape the bottom at 1 quite badly. Felt terrible. Realize that brakes for auto are not as sensitive as manual, so the breaking distance has to be increased. But otherwise, i think i'm quite impressive, how many people go on expressways their first day?

The return trip was along main roads where switching lanes was quite fun and easy, no cars bikes. Was going at about 80 on a 60 road. Hit AMK where traffic was heavier still can switch lanes. Not bad!

The terror is out there, bewarned. Not sure if i gave Nic a heart attack, but 'drew you've been warned! What did i do? I change 2 lanes @ a shot. I didn't give way at a round about. Sometimes i don't signal. Nic's verdict: I'm better off without the triangle plate. I'll be pissing people driving like that!
