23rd Oct 2006 is a day to be reckoned. Why do I say so? Because it is the day I'm a qualified driver again! After almost 10 yrs, finally I'm allowed behind the wheel. Well, not exactly that I enjoy driving. My passion is still with the 2 wheeler! Live to ride, ride to live! Bad boys forever! Hahaha!
Anyway, circuit driving was an ease. The only problem was the asshole who had to walk in front of my car instead of behind it when I was about to exit the circuit.
As I was taking the 1st time slot for the test, it was already 915am by the time I was out on the main road. I entered the bus lane as I filtered left preparing to return to the driving centre. The tester suddenly jumped!
Tester : "Bus lane leh!"
Me : "Bus lane until 9am only lah!"
Tester : "Is it?"
Me : "No meh?"
Tester : "(mumbling to himself)730 to 9... hmm..."
Nothing more was said until I parked the car & followed him into a room where he said my driving was alright & he passed me, except for that asshole who cost me 8 points! I thought nothing more of the bus lane issue until I went home. I checked the Internet for information regarding bus lane hours & was shocked to find out that indeed the operating hours are from 730 to 930am!
I should have been penalised with an immediate failure but I escaped with a pass instead! I would like to think that the tester himself was not very sure of the operating hours but somehow I believe he let me off with a pass as I did not make any mistakes while driving in the circuit & out on the main road. Other than the bus lane issue that is.
It was my lucky day indeed! I never had much luck with winning lotteries but now I know I'm lucky in other aspects!
