Changing private driving instructor..

[yuzu28]

really ah? I took my lessons at Ubi. I have to admit I had a great instructor. 2nd lesson I've learnt to u-turn. I got bored driving on the road by the 4th lesson and stopped going for lessons until I passed my FTT. As soon as I passed my FTT, he helped me booked my TP test.

U are fast learner. For me, I see so many vehicles passed by at higher speed, like lorries, trucks, sports cars etc, I'm scared. But it is a good training ground.

Reviews dun seem to work one. The pdi I had, review was good. But i dun find him good. Pdi earns money with more new registration. I dun think they welcome slow learners. Before I went school, i texted 2 other pdi to enquire. I mentioned to them I'm a slow learner. After 2-3 exchanges, they dun reply me liao.

If u think u are slow and timid, i suggest u learn at cdc. Cos ubi area can build up confidence. It's indeed not easy when u driving around ubi.

Ubi is pretty far for me lol..... but even for BBDC I heard prac lessons are so hard to book too and earliest slot is like in Jan unless you keep logging in and check frequently for cancelled slots. My friend went for 2 lessons back to back last evening she told me just coz the early slots are so hard to book and she was lucky to catch cancelled slots at the last minute lol.

Can book TP right after passing FTT? Over at BBDC, after FTT, we need to take/pass the simulators first then can book TP.

4 lessons. At 2nd lesson, he already said want to kicked me out. He had been yelling at me every lesson, I did not learn anything. I can't even turn properly at a curve and he scolded me. When I asked how much to turn, he said by feeling. Then I think 3rd lesson, he brought me to a car park learn u turn. As usual, no say turn how much, how to turn etc. Then scolded me for not doing correctly. Glad that I took back the registration and I immediately cancelled a lesson with him. Now with school much better. It's more expensive but at least I'm learning. And instructors scared people complain one.

I think u dun wait liao. Just dump him and be thick skin. Tell him "that day u said will refund me the registration..." , dun waste time liao cos i feel u won't learn anything more. He maybe taking u as a float, earning ur money when lesser student. When go more students, he will kicked u. He won't have the real heart to teach u.

Hey I have gotten the $70 from him that same weekend. Called him over the phone, luckily met with no resistance. Btw his name is Neo Swee Ho.

Gonna enrol with school.

got so many different degree of bends
how you want an instructor to teach you this?

cant be:
"oh, this road is 30 degrees. Your steering need to be 10 degrees"

Youngsters now need to be taught like they are machines or computers?

Everyone can have fear over anything. I been driving for 20 yrs. Recently, I started to slow down when I approach cross junction even tho I have the right way. I scare of idiot driving, turning without looking out. I slow down when I approach traffic light, zebra crossing cause a lot of idiots, ride across these with their PMD without looking out.

Actually you didnt have to reply their comments... by reacting, you are feeding them the attention they deprive of They are just trying to prove sth abt themselves behind their monitors lol random keyboard warriors searching for their lost ego. Be proud of yourself!! 1st attempt, not everyone can be like you.
