Before I found my current pdi, i read through this whole thread months ago and prepared myself for the worst pdi i could get. So from the list of pdi posted here I called and finally found one that bothered to picked the phone and actually talk to me. Well I picked those with higher passing rate. I ended up learning from
Neo Eng Soon. His car is a silver Nissan Sunny with car plate SJH796.
Initially I thought I found myself a decent pdi.
Here's some of the things that happened
-Start late, end early--- Normal I guess since so many ppl complain the same of their pdi here.
-Toilet breaks--- Still normal i supposed, when u gotta go u gotta go
-Talking on the phone most of the time--- maybe pdi is a boring job
-Pump Petrol during lessons--- Well cant teach without petrol.
-Buy groceries when paying for petrol--- Cant blame a man for saving some time, should blame the petrol kiosk for putting the mart and petrol payment counter together.
-Deciding on his own to drop me at a place far from my place to facilitate his next activity....
-Keep chatting to other pdi while I wait at his car up to 10mins past lesson time---
-Then the aboves keep repeating--
-Getting me to drive around a HDB block for 15mins so he can pass something to his friend--- One off incident, hope it doesn't repeat.
-At first, booking lessons with him was smooth. Then there were times where he gives me the feeling that he wants me to learn more, him earning more at the same time, and he psychos me to have many lessons within short period of time, ie 4times per week.
-Then came the time where he realised my timing is actually quite flexible and he decided to slot me in after he allocated other ppl with more fixed timings. Feels exploited but....
I knew right from the start that pdi would try to make u attend more lessons and delay yr tp in bid to earn more $$$. Hence I quickly booked a tp date to prevent that(and so I can take tp b4 they remove parking poles). Now he either ignores my calls or (patronize me by saying he will call me back)X7 times over 10days. Great, my tp is next week. Finally my mum called him and he claims my driving sucks. Excellent job man! Why didn't he just tell me upfront instead of hiding from me after attending 30+ lessons. I should mention that I do not think my driving sucks, (probably one of the tactics pdi like to use if u read this thread). He lets me drive on my own with little interference.
Long story short, I think my pdi want to ditch me just before my tp which is directly CNY. (This should be a new type of bitching for this thread).
then failed my first tp.
last time i book 2 hrs ones... he allow me to drive from ubi to Yishun / Sengkang or any other place he ask me lol
