| And we thought we had it tough.... This is what getting to unlimited cc bikes involves in Singapore. You guys are lucky. Where I come from we have to take 3 tests in total. Meaning for the 1st test on passing we can only ride bikes up to 200cc. Furthermore it takes on average about 6 months to pass because of a total of (if i remember correctly) 26 100min practical lessons, 4 theory lessons, 2 "revision" practical lessons (in order to be allowed to take the final practical exam) and to pass a theory test. If one fails the final practical exam, he has to book another 2 "revision" lessons before he can book another date for his final exam. All this and we have to wait (sometimes) 2-3 days for a vacant slot to book the next lesson. Sometimes even longer. The final practical exam may set you back 1 or 2 months!! Bec there's alot of ppl doing the same thing. All this just to ride bikes up to 200cc!!! (they made it difficult BTW) Plus the fact that there isn't much choices of bikes in this catagory. (BTW by around the 10th lesson you would be rather good... in a way ) ...finally after all the above... 1 yr of riding without commiting any traffic offenses AT ALL that would add points to your license... one is elligible to enrol for the 2nd class which allows a rider to ride any bike! .....up to 400cc that is... Here it gets easier somewhat. There are only 3 100min lessons, 1 theory lesson (without a test) and a final practical exam. Everything else is the same. Including the waiting time between lessons and exams. Then after another year of riding without comitting any offences with points you get to enrol in the final test which allows you to ride all bikes. This part is exactly the same as the one mentioned above minus the 1 theory lesson. Ops! Forgot to mention for the last 2 tests you would also need to attend "revision" lessons before the final too. Believe me.... it's a long journey.   |
