Anyone knows if there is any private driving instructors facebook page where we can share anything abt PDIs? Maybe can also share tips on how to pass TP as well?

Hi all, anyone knows what is the "market" rate for private driving instructor to charge for TP test? Class 3A. My PDI quote me $448.

Not sure about 3A, but my class 3 instructor charged <$350(forgot exact amt) for TP, inclusive of 1.5h circuit+road warmup before test

last month searched high and low for a private instructor for my wife. yesterday i sent my wife for her first driving lesson at Bukit Gombak MRT carpark. Private Auto. i reach the place want to laugh. There were at least 5 private instructors there waiting for their next learner. limpeh search high and low just for a few contacts. could have just walked there and ask one by one.

for those desperate for private auto BB (BB next practical slot for new learners is 3 months), take note, Bukit Gombak MRT carpark (middle row), 615pm lots of instructors chit chat take break wipe car. u can try your luck.

Wow, how many lessons have you taken so far? I think you should source around for another instructor if possible. Throughout all my lessons never once did my instructor took a break, even when go circuit lesson take number tag he at most 5min come back already.

I've taken 2 lessons. 3rd lesson he last minute cancelled on me. This instructor was recomended to me by my sis's friend. She also complained he likes to take 30mins brakes during lessons. But she has passed her TP. Nowadays very difficult to get PDIs. Im still in search of one ard wdls area.

Hi Pampered Pwincess,

Saw your another post now you have 2 driving lesson so maybe next or following lesson your PDI will let you book already maybe need to ensure you are ok and stable already then book TP already..since it is recommended by your sis friend should be alright and manage to pass just the break time no choice..

Coz if your PDI recommend you for test which means to say you are well prepared already so seat back and relax..Haha!!

Hi Pampered pwincess,

Yeah initial stage everybody is really looking forward to TP however till the dates is getting closer all of us will start to feel the "pressure" and start to think can I make it? Will the tester find faults, how is the road condition and myself I thought of giving up at last practical lesson which is 2 days before my TP coz mount kerb at parallel last stage head out to road get honked loudly by a Maxi-Cab and almost accident luckily I steer back into my lane if not sure knock together..

Usually, instructor will sort of "plan" your lessons to ensure lessons is spread out through out not only the first part or last stage where you cheong for lessons coz now TP waiting period is abt 5-6 weeks so is really better compare to those earlier batches my friend say waited for abt 2-3 months for TP sometime cannot go for lessons one in a week due to sch commitment so a little lost touch and also he cannot block book the sch lesson so in between there is 1-2 weeks not even a single lesson so IMO thought practical lessons well spread throughout is good so at least can reflect on mistakes and also ensure you are motivated to move on coz lessons are scheduled almost every 4-5 days..

Coming to TP $448 does it include everything such as TP $33 test fees, circuit usage and duration, test car rental and also warm-up last but not least insurance fees as under TP is a requirement to ensure that you need bring insurance details for tester.

For sch they just print my car and plate no, my name, test dates and time also insurance expiry date will be 31-Dec-2016 took last year.Haha!!
