It came to the day of my driving licenses examination! The exam time was 1145 am. To maintain the best condition, I called for the last practice at 9am this morning. Just let me talk about the driving exam of HK. I wonder if it’s the same in your cities? I took the exam of manual light goods vehicle. The examination is divided into three parts. The first part is the written test. Candidates need to answer 20 multiple-choice questions within 20 minutes. To pass the written test, you have to get at least 16 correct answers.
今天是駕照路試的日子，考試時間是早上11時45分，為了保持最佳狀態，我特意約了師傅一大早九時就開始練習了。先跟大家說說香港的駕照考試，不知大家的是否都一樣？我這次考的是棍波輕型貨車，考試共分三部份，第一部份是筆試，考生要在20分鐘內回答20條選擇題，答對16題或以上是為合格。
The second part is the parking test and is usually combined with Part 3. In the parking test, the skills of stop on slope, start on slope, turnabout in a narrow road, reversing and parking are tested. And part 3 is the driving test! The examiner will keep giving instruction to candidates during the driving.
第二部份就是泊車試了，基本上和第三部份的路試是一起考的。泊車試考的是斜坡停車、斜坡開車、窄路掉頭及倒後停泊。而第三部份就是實戰了，考試官會在考試中指點你走隨機的路線，在試場附近走一個圈，當然，所謂的隨機其實都只是那幾條路，一般來說學車師傅都是知道的。
I took the exam at the So Kon Po Driving Test Center. In the exam of this entre, there are usually three routes. The first route is super easy and it’s hard to fail. The second route is quite challenging as there is the chance of stop and start on a large slope. And the third route is the most difficult one! There are many yellow box markings which means “can’t stop”. Also, there are a number turns in narrow roads. And the main point is, the buses and taxi always want to overtake you.
我報考的是掃桿埔考試中心，基本上路試的路線只有三條，第一條超容易，基本上都會合格，第二條路線比較難，因為有機會在大斜坡開車及停車，而第三條路線則是我認為最難的路線了！這條路上有很多不準停車的黃格，更有幾個很窄的路口要轉彎，而重點是，旁邊線的巴士及的士不會理會你是否在考試，這條路線也是我最害怕的路線。
Route 1
Route 2
Route 3
To prepare for the driving test, I took around 12 lessons with 1.5 hours each, HK$500 per lesson. And the car rental fee was HK$2000. Together with the exam fee of HK$540, it costed me around HK$9000. I took the lessons with a private tutor. If we go to a driving school in HK, it should cost over HK$10,000. How about your cities?
為了準備考試，我上了大約12堂，每一堂1.5小時，$500一堂，另外租車費是$2000，還有$540的考試費，一共花了差不多$9000吧！我找的是私人師傅，如果在香港找駕駛學院，費用通常都會超過$10,000! 不知道大家居住的地點，價錢又是多少？
OK back to the topic. I was so fit this morning and finished all the routes smoothly. Then the exam came. The examiner chose the 3rd route……never mind! My codition was good and finished it smoothly! But I was still fail. Why? It’s because I didn’t completely close the car door……I was treated as “Inadequate precaution”……
好了，回到正題，今天早上的我狀態極好，所有路線都很完美地完成了，然後我迎來了考試的來臨，考官竟給我最害怕的那條路線，不過我狀態很好，都很順利的完成了，可惜，我仍是不合格。原因是什麼？我．的．車．門．沒．有．關．好，因「開車前準備不足」而不合格……好吧…只好等補考了…
