have posted before, but shall re-post for a gd PDI.

Mr Goh 96712193

Teaches manual at bbdc, pick up at gombak or gas station outside bbdc. rates are $30 per hr for peak.

character is those typical uncle type, can be naggy at times & friendly at others. very seldom late, doesnt smoke or take unnessary breaks.

he has a systematic way of teaching, and crafts lessons according to speed of learning. under him my circuit is near perfect, vertical parking directional change parallel parking all one-time go in without need for corrections. same for S & crank & slope. he taught a few bbdc instructors' kids too. he is also very alert to note my mistakes :s like bad gear shifts, wide turning...and will step in to do emergency corrections if i did something wrong like going to veer off course.

he gets annoyed when i make e same mistakes repeatedly despite him telling me many times, i think also to "psycho" me to remember it for good? hes quite chatty & friendly especially when i drive well that lesson. but when he picks on e mistakes he never attacks e student's character (ie no scolding of "stupid" or vulgarities)

although i took a long time to learn (1 year?) he didnt give up & even gave me more lessons on wkday evenings to make sure i learn faster..im a lousy student but he booked total of ~8 circuits for me, and even helped me book a good tp slot e first time round while i was overseas. when i failed e first time he gave a few more revisions and i then passed.

I have went for 3 lesson with Mr. Seow Eng Wah.

I can say that he will tell you what you watch out for.
He always end his lesson 10 minutes earlier and do not usually talk nonsense during class..

That is what i noticed.

Siew is my PDI. Pass under him 1 time. He will reach on time but end 5 mins early

Thanks for the feedback guys :D

Will engage one of them once my bro finishes his exams :)

No need to take Basic Theory Test again once you've passed. It'll last forever. Final Theory Test result expires after 2 years.

I'm taking my test tomorrow, and its going to be the 5th time.
So essentially being a private candidate is NOT cheap for me at all.
Each TP is around $250+.

I took 28 lessons for the first test, average 3 lessons for each subsequent test.
My pdi is very nice and teaches well. So its not his fault.
I'm a slow learner.

So if you calculate. 28 + (3*4) * 42 = $1680,
This is before circuits I paid for and the TP test price.
Assume I took 10 circuits, thats around $350,
5 tests at $250 each, thats $1250.
Total cost up till now, $1680 + $350 + $1250 = $3280.
That is exclusive of BTT, FTT, and $10booking circuit.

Advice: If you can't drive well or think you need alot of guidance, go to the school.

i just went to apply PDL license today.. looking thru a scope, you are tested to see if you can read the alphabets followed by the colour dots then by reading letter "E" if it is facing up, down, left or right... to check yr direction reading... very fast less than a min.
I'm having my first driving lesson next week.. excited & nervous at the same time. :p
