For emergency brake, the instructor will tap (or slam) on the dashboard and immediately you are supposed to stop the car by stepping hard on the foot brake. You need to REALLY REALLY REALLY hit the brake ALL THE WAY. Do not be afraid you will spoil the car (that’ll be BBDC’s problem) or that the airbag may explode. It is fine if the engine stall after the brake, the idea is not to hit whatever that caused you to e-brake. Initially I made the mistake of trying to keep the engine live and was all to careful when hitting the brake. it increased my braking distance and would be considered failed during the test.
For three-point-turn, make sure no incoming vehicle on opposite lane and no vehicle at the back. Make sure in gear 1. Turn steering wheel fully to the right and drive until car is near to the kerb. Change to reverse gear and check blind spot and rear window. Turn steering fully to the left and reverse until near to kerb. Change to gear 1 and turn full steering to the right and move off until car is straighten before changing to gear 2.
Things to take note:
- Usually tester likes to do e-brake at the outer lane next to the HomeTeamNS club, immediately after moving out from the parking lot during the test
- Normally if the tester wants to initiate e-brake, the tester will start looking back (or side mirror) to make sure no car is close behind. He will also start wearing/tightening the seat belt If you notice there is no car close behind you it is very likely he will initiate e-brake. Take this as an indicator.
- Ok, do not over-anticipate, the tester may try to trick you by touching his hair instead (it happened to me once with one of the instructors -_-" )
