Fernie has officially enrolled for her Class 2B!!!

The first day Fernie registered for her riding. She has enrolled for Class 2B and just to enrol it would have cost her SGD 42.83. This last for 1 year and renewable every 6mths. Theory lessons would have cost SGD 8.03 per lesson and there are a total of 2 Basic Theory and 2 Riding Theory lessons where she sits in to listens to a 1hour 40mins lecture.

Practical lessons would cost another SGD 22 thereabouts and the peak hour lessons goes another SGD 2 more, at SGD 24. There are a total of 8 lessons before her Practical test and then she will be a qualified Class 2B rider. It has also been said that these lessons will take an average fo 13 instead of the 8. They will usually try to "find fault" and make you take extras lessons.

Our plan was to get her a bike license so that she can understand and enjoy the riding experience together with the rest of the family. If she completes this, it will be a great achievement. I believe she can easily do this as she has shown exemplary talent in riding Wen Long's bike when we were in JB!! If she completes this, i will probably look into buying her a scooter or a kup kia (X1 or X1R). Something small and economical so that i can use it too.

As i type this, she is actually in a Theory lesson now and it seems that she does not need to attend them in sequence. I have been told that she can also attend the practical lessons 1 to 4, but she will have to pass her provisional riding test before she is allowed onto the public roads.


I remembered when i first took my lessons at the very same Bukit Batok Driving Centre (BBDC), that was a good 16years ago in 1993!! I remembered i did not have to go onto the public road to complete my test to get a license. I passed on 14 Feb 1994 for the Class 2B, so it took me 3-4 months to get the Class 2B.

I will continue to blog her progress and see how she copes. I know she is very excited and seems to be loving the whole experience. If she ever passes her Class 2, maybe one day we can ride up to Thailand together or even Laos/China...... who knows.... as long as she is happy.
