I remembered it was 1996 and I was 26 years old when I first got my driving licence. "Graduated" from BBDC (aka Bukit Batok Driving Centre), a 12-pointer, 1 sitting, 2.5 months to complete advanced theory, 25 compulsory circuit hours and practical exam. I did my basic theory a few years ago though but did not take up PDL immediately. (Sorry, when come to this subject, I think I need act proud a bit ;) )
Okay, let me continue my hall of "achievements". Total driven 2 cars in UK, 4 cars in SG and 2 rented cars in overseas. In terms of mileage, if I were to discount my 2 years (1996-98) stay in UK (although I drove in UK too), and started counting from 1999 and since then, I've never stop driving till today (other than overseas holiday, reservist trainings and I really can't recall any time else). As far as I can recall, my recent years (3yr (car b) + 4.5yr (car c) +2yr (car d)) mileage is on average around 40KM/year. I can't really recall my first 2.5yr (car a) mileage in SG, but let's assume it's 25KM/yr, therefore, my total mileage clocked on mother earth is at lest 442,500KM! (Ops, ops, let's stop the count here and not go into $$ spent on petrol and servicing and etc...)
In summary, my humble CV is as follows:
Name: Man@40s
Year of service : 14 years
Mileage clocked : 442,500KM
Skill : 12 years "Manual" mode; 2 year "Auto" mode
No of accidents : 2 minor, 3 trivial
Longest drive without stop : 3.5Hr
Furthest city driven from Singapore : Penang (Malaysia)
Fastest drive without stop : 300KM in 2.5Hr
Shortest drive without stop : ?
No of fine : Ops, don't ask!
A side effect of my above "track record" is that I becomes a truly "moron" when comes to taking buses and some new routes in SMRT.
Okay, alright, so much for my 'credential". Now, I think, I, should truly "qualify" to write a tale or two of some driving stories but it's gonna be another posts as it's getting late. In the meantime, please feel free to contact me if you need my "service" :)
