I was blogging about how we learnt driving in those days. He shared the story in his comments section <a href="http://goodmorningyesterday.blogspot.com/2007/02/learning-to-drive.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Nevertheless, it nice to read it again. Thanks.<br /><br /><br />Unlike Unk Dicko, I took my Highway Code test at the Queenstown Driving Centre.Lam Chun Seehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01762020157703342970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826590137201441127.post-42300103765836239992010-08-03T07:52:14.477+08:002010-08-03T07:52:14.477+08:00betty, it is 'undang undang', the malay wo...betty, it is 'undang undang', the malay word for 'law'. traffic laws.yghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054865524193859788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826590137201441127.post-67820833834707882412010-08-03T07:51:09.620+08:002010-08-03T07:51:09.620+08:00yu-kym, my time was still multiple-choice but we h...yu-kym, my time was still multiple-choice but we had to write the number corresponding to the answer. i failed my first theory test because i was overconfident..finishing ahead of everyone.yghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054865524193859788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826590137201441127.post-82944108862865634692010-08-03T07:48:37.108+08:002010-08-03T07:48:37.108+08:00dick, the powerboat test must have become a requir...dick, the powerboat test must have become a requirement much later in the 70s. i remember operating a boat without any licence in the early 70s.yghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054865524193859788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826590137201441127.post-2268884606044988072010-08-02T17:01:31.195+08:002010-08-02T17:01:31.195+08:00If I remember correctly, it was known as the "...If I remember correctly, it was known as the "oon nang oon nang" test.

Rather straight forward using a well-organised well-laid model and questions and clarifications by the Tester and my responses.<br />I much prefer it this way.<br />For my private Power Boat open Sea Licence, I had to undergo a real Written EXAM!<br />But those Apeks and Ahmads who were already familiar with seacrafts but not educated, only needed to do a simple oral Q and A test. All passed easily!<br />In my inaugural batch of those being tested for Part 1 (Theory of Sea Navigation)there was ONE FAILURE only...and he was supposed to be the EXPERT. I remember he was an Indian lecturer in Sea Navigation!!!<br />We knew why he had failed too.Unk Dickohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07050766265321887439noreply@blogger.com
