Firstly , I would like to mention he don't even deserve a one star rating. Engaged him through an agent called Le driving, after that went online to see reviews about him, saw bad reviews posted by others during 2009 times , hence thought it was so long ago and maybe he might change for the better so gave him a chance to teach me and I just gave it a try, first lesson everything was still ok still fine seems chatty and good , (mind you agent states that if you wanna change an instructor you have to change after first lesson otherwise gotta pay another enrollment fee) so probably this might be the reason he is acting on the first lesson. Second lesson onwards , he slowly start scolding , he doesn't go into details when teaching and just briefly say out what should be done and all without even teaching it properly, ask 1 time he explains but second time still unsure he starts raising his voice , no patience at all, eat during lesson, end lesson super early , still asked me to stop by and he went to buy newspapers and chat with his friends ,kept on scolding non stop, when you make mistake and he keep question why why why, and you do not know what to do and just keep quiet he will just scold you and say Aiya don't want say already la, say already also no use , not happy learning with me go find another instructor , no instructor will even want to teach you. Oh so he is stating his so good so patient ? Definitely not . went for 7 lessons with him , he wasted my time and money, kept asking me drive around , keep saying my driving not good and all , aft passing FTT told him I want to speed up and learn faster to go for TP faster , he just refuse to teach me other things yet stating that I still can't drive well. oh and remember I mentioned he said I was bad at driving and no instructor would even want to teach me ? Haha sorry but I got to say no the problem lies with him. How can I be so sure ? Because when I cannot take it anymore so annoyed by him feeling that I'll slap him anytime if I continue learning from him. I decided to stop going for his lessons and just take up another PDI and change to SSDC instead. My new PDI is super good for sure 100 times better than BENSON ONG HOCK CHAI LIGHT BLUE HONDA JAZZ 2208 . My new PDI (SSDC,Mr Ng), on first lesson he get me to tell him everything why I change PDI and all, he need to know my back ground before knowing how to teach, he let me drive around for the first lesson in order to see how well I drove , my new PDI has 41 years of teaching experience and is really good , he is very specific in teaching , he is funny and chatty , he is really good , on second lesson with him he taught me directional change and told me that I was a fast learner and that he taught me once and I know how to do it already, and so on third lesson with him , he taught me vertical parking and train it together with the directional change and once again he too said I learn fast and will proceed to learn parrallel parking on next lesson. He even told me that my driving skills was ok, i could manage oil and brake well. He mentioned he have seen worst students and that he too does nag at student who are really too poor , and help them to improve . He too is very shock on why BENSON ONG keep says my driving is not good and does not want to teach me other stuff . Now I've proved BENSON ONG wrong because he once said my driving not good and no instructor will want me . Sad to say I can go in circuit very soon after I picked up parrallel parking ! I'm glad that I've changed PDI, luckily to a 100 times better one . I do regret not changing earlier and ended up wasting my time and money for 7 lessons with BENSON ONG.to BENSON ONG don't even look down on your students , you don't even look like a PDI! Sorry to be harsh but he really tested my patience , you guys can go ahead and give it a try and you will know why I'm so pissed ! WILL NEVER RECCOMEND HIM! He is too much! REMEMBER NEVER EVER TAKE ON BENSON ONG HOCK CHAI HONDA JAZZ LIGHT BLUE 2208 hp: 91472208
I just end my lesson with him last week
It’s only my 3rd lesson, attitude problem, no patience at all
Keep controlling my brake and steeling wheel.
Simple thing like adjusting car seat also not

Hi there,

can i know what is the cost of the car rental for TP?

I found one PDI that charges me $280 (excluding the circuit, booking of TP date, warm up at circuit and warm up lesson outside(?))

I added and the total is around $420 just to take TP.

Do advise thank you.

Also feel free to drop me a dm to intro your PDI. I am looking for 3A at CDC.

Anyone knows of any good private driving instructor who offers driving refresher course for auto car?
I passed class 3 manual more than a decade ago. Now going to drive an auto car soon. Would like to go for a bit of refresher to pick up the skills again.
Can only do weekends.
Please pm me details, thanks!

Edit: did anyone send me a pm? Might have missed it due to full inbox. Please send again if you sent, thanks,

I just came to know about this thread. After reading through most of the entries here, I realised I’ve been robbed. My PDI charges 63/hr and is charging me $500 for TP. Told me market price has gone up. I guess i must have appeared to be like one of those easily fooled and bullied :(

Hi,
I'm looking for class 3 PDI recommendations for SSDC or north area. Been trying to look for a few months already, it seems north is quite limited in class 3 PDI.

Saw a few people posting about an instructor in Queenstown, but never saw anyone replying. Does anyone have the contact? I've seen the car SLE5XXX when walking around Stirling.

Please PM me if you have his contact :) TIA
