Hi, anyone know typically how many lessons for Auto license before the PDI will allow the student to sit for the driving test? Wondering if a PDI mention about 25 lessons including 6-7 circuits, is it because trying to earn more?

There's no minimum lessons required under private. If u are confident, u can even just go for 2 lessons 2 circuits.

Yeah I know that. I took about 12 lessons for manual in the past. Actually asking for my wife. She hasn’t started but PDI sounds like won’t let her take the test unless she takes about 25 lessons.

Probably your wife is not ready yet, to go for test. Tester can stop her for taking test too.

saw this thread while actually googling my instructor's name out of curiosity..

i just passed my tp first attempt thanks to the help of my very awesome instructor, uncle Gordon at CDC. Drives a manual silver nissan sunny but think he changing car to the new manual almera soon.. charges 32/hr and only charge 220 for car rental and insurance for tp excluding warmup lessons.. super nice and friendly uncle, provides many insights and pinpoints my weaknesses and bad habits due to illegal driving experience in malaysia :s22: fixes them and gives enough lessons to be familiar with what we're supposed to do for the test.. he's quite chatty or can be quiet depending on how u prefer (always talk nonsense with him while driving cos boring ma) and very respectful of time.. always reaches the coffee house just beside cdc 3 mins before ur lesson starts but always has to take a pee before starting (people old liao..). But because he is very good, usually his schedule very busy so have to book him arnd 2 months beforehand so he can schedule ur slots.. and he schedules ur lessons in a very systematic way. although he might be flipping through his diary and answering texts from students while u're driving, he never fails to guide u through where you're going and somehow manages to pay attention to what you're doing.. he is also fluent in both english and mandarin so no worries about that.. many more good points about him, one of the best if not best instructor that's around.. really grateful i could pass in 1 attempt. :s22: can pm me for his number.

I'd like to recommend my PDI too, Mr Raymond Tan Lai Soon. Teaches you everything you need to know and makes learning driving a breeze. He teaches at BBDC and I'd strongly recommend him
