Not sure whether you will pass. With 6 to 8 traffic police on the scene, adding more pressure to your already cooked confidence, you are sure to be grilled to a spot. The atmosphere will get to your nerves, resulting in you failing your trial exam or messing up some other way. No matter how much you have practiced, to pass on your first try you must be one lucky sheep.

I had to give my bike trial exam a total of three times. I could not stop bricking myself. I wished they implemented the new rule a bit sooner.
