my record is 8 years never drive after i got my class 3 driving licence.

I didn't go for refresher, i took a friend car on a sunday, drive it to industrial area like tuas ulu ulu place. Built up your confidence from there.

Made sure when u start to drive, drive to a place that u familar 1st, so that u will know which lane to keep and what way to go.

Confidence on the road will be back in 2weeks time.

As u have no road drving experience,so please don't SPEED but don't be a road hog too.

u gt a car.. ask ur hubby to drive u to some ulu places.. from there u slowly learn.. Really helps. I at Multi storey car park learn parking,clutch control the whole bloody day literally plus cruising around the place and the MSC. Think those see me there maybe think i mad. lol. i have this phobia of my car roll back at shopping centres when paying my fees.. so..
