Another Rant and Random Post

Here's another of my random posts that I hope no one reads. But is there any content published online that is never read by the public? Well, I have been posting here for the last year and half, and the stats shows that not a lot of people visit this blog much. The highest visit that it got the last time I checked the log was 32 visits in over a year. So, that is like having a phone and no one calls because they don't have your number.


In this case, Google at least knows that this blog exists. One of the reasons it does not get enough traffic is because of lack of promotion. I don't promote it either on related forums or blogs. If I was interested in promotion, I would have done just that. Now you know why the traffic inward is very little compared to the what I see at MWF Water Filter website.

You can't really compare them because alot goes into making that page worth visiting. If you haven't seen it yet, be sure to check it out. One other thing that makes blogging here a little difficult for me is that my attention has shifted to more challenging and rewarding ventures. See my latest Sennheiser Headphones and driving test websites.

These are what have been keeping me very busy lately. Every minute I get is spent working on them to bring them to where I expect them to be in the next couple of years. One thing in life is that if you want something, always work hard to get it. It does not matter what it is and how long it takes to get there. What matters is if you eventually get there. For me, it does not matter how long it takes to get there, what is certain is that I will eventually hit my target sooner or later.

So, friends, visitors and searchers, keep your dreams alive and don't let anything sway your determination and self belief.

Practical Driving Test

Following gradually from my last post on driving test, I will be looking at ways to prepare and book your practical driving test. It is important that you know what to expect before booking your test. Most instructors may think you are ready and will push you to book your practical driving test.

It is only you who knows if you are ready or not. Taking your practical driving test when you are not totally ready means your confidence will be knocked and set you back a few months before you try again. You may ask why your instructor would push you to take your test when you are not ready.

The answer to that question is two folds:

1. It gives them the opportunity to make more money - it is a business, so it their interest that you keep learning and keep paying them. Once you've taken your first practical driving test and fail it, you are more likely to extend your lesson before reattempting the second time. Because of fear of loosing your money and failing again, you are likely to take more than necessary period of time to learn.
2. The second reason is that more than half of learner drivers get it first time round. If you are luck, you may pass your driving test. But if you have fear and very nervous, it is important that you inform your instructor who will advice you on the next step. Booking you test when you are not totally sure of taking the test is a big mistake and you are likely to fail. As the number of new learner drivers grow, rebooking your test could  be another 3 months from the day you failed your test. The reason for this is that others are booking as well - so it is important that you do all you can to pass your driving test.

Again, remember you are paying by the hour for your driving test - so whatever your instructor says, it is entirely up to you to know if you are ready to take your practical driving test. Make sure your practice on your own with a friend's car if you can. There's nothing better than practice - the more you practice, the better you become with your driving skill. Your instructor should provide you with a detailed programme of what you need to know to take your practical driving test.

Make sure you cover emergency stop, parallel parking and bay parking if you can. Use as many online resources as you can. There are people sharing their experience - use that as a guide to help you work out what you should expect. Another thing you should also keep an eye out for is the DSA website. Any last minute changes to the practical driving test may affect you and all your lessons and preparations could become irrelevant in an instance.
