| Alhamdulillah! My very first moments on my first motorbike (a scooter really): Yamaha Ego S |
Tbh, at the first place, I havent had the interest on riding a motorbike. I was kinda afraid of motorbike accidents on the road, as I am sure that there are many drivers out there who still have their license, but they dont actually apply what they have learned in the driving institute. I can only, however, pray to Allah, that such incidents would not happen to me. Yes, I also had the incidents almost similar to these accidents, but on a bicycle. I once ramped on a car so badly until I hurt my own 'thing' cuz I was busy looking at the what nots at the handle. Alhamdulillah, I wasnt compounded for that. Anyway, my excitement built up when I was told that motorbikes can be very handy esp when going to the faculties in a university,which Ill be going in around late October 2016 in shaa allah.
Anyway, back to our story, we registered at the Metro Driving Academy (MDA) in Kampung Melayu Subang for about RM371. Yes, you MUST bring your IC for verification process about your identity. Upon registration, in my case, youll receive a text book and a book which contains roughly 500 questions for the thoery test later. In case if you wanna know the flow of getting the B2 license, follow the steps below:
1. I've already mentioned about the registration process a little bit.
2. Attend the KPP01 Theory Class. In case you dont know whats KPP, it stands for 'Kursus Pendidikan Pemandu'. Class lasts for about 5 hours and its OBLIGATORY to attend. Cuz youll get a great idea about the various signboards *interesting part*, what to do when you see a certain sign on the road, the various problems on the road and the no of demerit points youll acquire, and also learning about the various licenses. Once you attended the class, youll be awarded with a JPJL2A certificate, which you dont have to hold with you, and lasts for 1 year. Speaking of the traffic problems, let me share to you some of which I have learned:
Riding while being influenced by drugs and alcohol-15 points
Riding whilst racing-15 points
Disobeying traffic lights-10 points
Overspeeding more than the required speed limit by 1-25kmh-6 points
{BTW, THIS EXPLAINS WHY YOU CANNOT RIDE ON THE ROADS WITHOUT ANY LICENSE.}
3. Take the KPP01 test. Within 1 YEAR FROM DATE OF ATTENDING THEORY CLASS (due to the presence of yr JPJL2A certificate), youll need to book online with those in charge in yr driving institude first though, about 3 days b4 yr date of sitting. You MUST score at least 42/50 to pass!! Where to take the tests? Mine was at the MYEG place at Subang Permai. There, you must bring yr IC, and RM10 for the photo for yr Learners Driving License (LDL). Please remember to get the hardcopy of your results once youre done. Oh and one thing, PRACTISE B4 TAKING THE EXAM. I think among the best websites to practise is this one here:
http://jpjkpptest.com (CAUTION:you can use this website, but plz BEWARE OF ANY SUSPICIOUS ATTACKS!)
Or if you have a smartphone, download APK and download KPP Test. I am sure this app is safer!

{At this stage, you can already start buying your motorbike. Now most motor dealers wouldn't care if you guys dont have a license yet, but still the staffs may remind you that if anything happens, youre responsible for that. So have yr insurance ready, and of course, if you need to report to the police regarding this issue, I heard that you must have a license!!}
4. Send your necessary documents to your driving institude, esp yr statement of results, so you could get your LDL (Learner's Driving License). I heard it may take about 3-10 working days to create one.
