Woah....after reading all your horror stories, looks like its really hard to find a good PDI.
think i'm lucky to a certain extend.

Mine actually work in partnership with another instructor.
Initial lessons are by his partner, lets call him Mr. T

Mr. T, allowed me to drive almost straight away on my first lesson (I did not have any prior experience, totally new to driving), he showed me the basics then let me drive around in a carpark, before asking me to drive outside to the roads...the first lesson was pretty good, he also teach me 3-point turn and basic parking.

After that basically 75% of all the lessons i'm doing parking...parallel and vertical, did not have much driving outside and changing lane (which i'm very weak at), it became very routine.
Most of the time Mr. T, would fall asleep once we reach the carpark and I started doing my parking.........it was quite boring.........but I also became quite good at parking......so not sure if I should be complaining.......

Towards my test, the main PDI, lets call him Mr. O, took over from Mr. T
Boy! it was a world of difference, Mr. O is damn good and he does not take pee breaks (at least not during my lessons anyway, Mr. T pee break quite standard 10-15mins every lesson)

Mr. O is very professional, he explains things very clearly, draws charts and stuff (Mr.T not very good at explain things...)
And I can feel he genuinely wants me to understand and pass my test, because he is very busy sometimes my lesson with him can be late like 10pm to 11pm or 11.30pm but he doesn't mind......

If he had started teaching me earlier I probably wont need to take so many lessons from Mr. T and would have saved some $$$

He teaches Auto, BBDC.

Hello I am looking for private instructor teaching auto, bbdc. Do you mind sharing mr o's contact details. Will appreciate your help very much. Thanks

Hey, one of the instructor that I got through here charges additional $50 as a fuel surcharge for the first lesson. Is this the norm ?

BTT is very simple, just read the BTT book and memorise everything!

Hi, my gf and I practice for our BTT using sgdriving.net.
For its BTT, the website is still okay. Passed our BTT with full marks because the questions are actually very straight-forward.
$8.90 for 60-days and can be access using mobile phone or tablet.

Reason I want to change website for my FTT is because i felt no confidence for their FTT. Looking for something more established.

Popular and CDC same one. Don't need to memorize but to understand the theory.

Go e-trial test, 2-3 trials should be fine. Exactly the same as test questions. Very hard to fail BTT one. Goodluck

Yup. all my questions came out.
since he has the book then just study that and take those e-trial online will do.

Topic like traffic signs, bus lane hour, shape & color of traffic signs, right of way, following distance and alcohol limit are popular question.

Always choose "Slow down", never go wrong with this :s13:
