Hello folks and welcome to the next episode of my motovlog! This time round we're doing something different, we're taking the Ride Safe Course which is Conducted by the Comfort Delgro Driving Centre! Special thanks to instructor Mus and Reduan for taking care of us on the roads and sharing a lot of good tips when navigating Singapore's expressways.

Nice to be able to film and showcase the course

[@EigenMoto]

Haha ya! The instructor let me film the course. Initially I wasn’t filming then he noticed my camera and asked me if I wanted to film LOL!

[@patricktan98]

cb miserable taxi, wife nv love him. Him cutting like this only saved him like 1 sec but puts all bikers at risk especially bikers from driving school cb rly

[@EigenMoto]

At it was not like we not visible. It was a whole convoy of orange cladded bikes...

[@LonganLee]

Many taxis are driving recklessly on the road

[@jazzyflames]

Thanks for sharing didn't know the expressway orientation course for bikes got pass by my block. Nice. Used to learn my class 2B at CDC also . That time dun have this lesson this is fun. But last time when I learn they use the Yamaha SR125. Per lesson was like about 27 dollars. It was fun.

[@EigenMoto]

Haha yeah, the cost has increased tremendously though. I think its 70 for this session? But I enjoyed it a lot so it’s quite worth it to me!

[@scootzup8180]

Wah why you always kena red light 😅 then again good job on noticing the taxi driver 👍🏻

[@EigenMoto]

Haha damn suay, but lucky only happen twice. The taxi one I notice cuss a lot of ppl on the road like to cut you off when trying to change lanes also. Its very ungracious behaviour which I wish we had less of in SG

[@weixiang7826]

What prac lesson is this? Nice video btw thx for showing us the routes!

[@EigenMoto]

This is ride safe course, its separate from the main course haha

[@BlackShadowX88-te5pm]

Let that be a lesson, be humble and considerate when on the roads. As a driver, I’ve experienced the same from other drivers and bikers. And as a biker, I experienced the same thing from drivers AND bikers. But as a biker, you need to be more defensive. Don’t challenge bigger vehicles even though you have right of way. No point fighting for your rights when you’re under the blue tent.

[@EigenMoto]

Yep agree! No matter who is right, we riders lose. No point ego-ing

[@RexNg1123]

Perhaps consider releasing the throttle a bit before upshifting. I can hear the engine overrevving when you have the clutch pulled in

[@EigenMoto]

Ah yeah, I apologise for that! I haven’t ridden manual in a while so that’s why Im taking this course! Thanks for the tips!

[@Grabbie]

can use skillfuture for this course?

[@EigenMoto]

I don't think so. I paid out of pocket. 70 bux

[@stormerneo2244]

What camera are you using!

[@stormerneo2244]

Nevermind I just saw that it was the Action 4 at the end :>

[@EigenMoto]

Haha, I use the Insta360 X3 as well. My usually motovlog setup!

[@takeshisatou2371]

wouldn't wanna ride in this kind of weather 😂

[@EigenMoto]

Actually it was perfect weather for the course cuss the instructor was watching how we handle wet weather riding. So if we did something egregious, he will highlight to us! Bonus learning!

[@efgerfgergferg6749]

What's your review of the Ride Safe Course? Worth to sign up?

[@EigenMoto]

So my personal opinion is this course is great for people who have not ridden manual in a long time. If you ride manual every day, the value you get is much lower (I ride a scooter so its great for me to get back in shape for my next license) Level 1: Has too much theory but the sharp turn practice is really good. Not super worth it if you wanna ride Level 2: Expressway riding and convoy riding, barely any theory. instructor will watch how you ride outside and give tips Level 3: Ive yet to take this but this one is the most difficult because you will learn to do stunt manoeuvres to avoid danger. I will probably take this next year

[@ZLokYEA]

want learn more, learn better, ride in msia haha

[@efgerfgergferg6749]

@@ZLokYEA I already do

[@m1xxified]

how to sign up

[@EigenMoto]

You can go to www.cdc.com.sg/course/ride-safe-course/, at the bottom there should be an enrol button for the various levels!

[@weixiang7826]

Are you taking your 2A license?

[@EigenMoto]

yep, currently taking 2A!

[@Amircapturedmemories]

Why ah got people drive until like that. Will die meh if let other road users filter safely?

[@EigenMoto]

Yeah I also dunno why he liddat sia... I saw him coming up but I signalled damn early but I dun dare change cuss his speed not slowing down.

[@LonganLee]

But yelllow taxi is it belonging to comfortdelgro? Is CDC driving school under the same group?? I not sure leh . Ongself check Ongself is a virtue?🤔

[@EigenMoto]

I think parent org same but different divisions.

[@Numbie9527]

waaa.. go so far..

[@EigenMoto]

Haha ya! It was damn fun!

[@Thefabulousredfish]

Common scene in SG. All the lau ah pek drivers can't wait to get home

[@EigenMoto]

Yeah, and put everyone else at risk

[@EigenMoto]

Yeah, and put everyone else at risk!

[@codynik123]

wonder how all of you pass. 2 times never check blind spot fail already. it may seem dumb when learning but this will save your life on the streets

[@EigenMoto]

At which timestamp sir? Maybe the camera movements are not obvious to you, but I most definitely check blindspots before filtering.

[@chuayuanchan9742]

Just saw u pass by Tiong Bahru market ard 1plus 😂

[@EigenMoto]

Oh shi- HAHAHA, I was having lunch with a friend!

[@chuayuanchan9742]

@@EigenMotohope 1 day can meet up with you, I’m Jason, riding Tricity too…😁

[@EigenMoto]

Haha sure, you in the tricity whatsapp group?

[@curryfish-ht4ik]

Next time horn when spilt lane and signal

[@EigenMoto]

haha the whole convoy signal right since we were at the junction.

[@Grabbie]

Report this taxi to TP~

[@EigenMoto]

I don't think TP will entertain this. No accident happened, best I can do is send to taxi company but I doubt they will do anything anyways...

[@xXlccporXx]

Report taxi to TP and comfortdelgro

[@EigenMoto]

Oh, I don't think he broke the law tho... cuss he didnt touch us... but still very reckless behavior

[@mazlanmazlan4577]

Be an ASS rider. Alert + Smart = Safe

[@EigenMoto]

HAHA that’s a really good one. I’ll keep that in mind

[@mazlanmazlan4577]

Always Stay Safe

[@ZLokYEA]

wah move off never check back, junction never right-left safety check, turn left junction never check left blind spot, then don't drag your low gear too much leh... haha

[@EigenMoto]

Haha dun expose leh 🤣 I damn rusty at manual alr. Gotta relearn for 2A

[@ZLokYEA]

same like my brother. after years of riding auto scooter, then one day want to relearn manual to upgrade class, borrow my bike and whack until make me cry haha

[@EigenMoto]

Thats why I whack on school bike 🤣

[@torrhthc4103]

Should hv auto bike licence. Like cars, some people just want a bike for cheaper accessible transport.

[@D-Khalid]

Thats called being a kuniang.
