Good-Carbuyer 1st Gear June 1, 2011 Share June 1, 2011 I'm a firm believer that a) people should drive their own car in lessons b) everybody should drive a "beater" car for at least 6 months c) Everybody should be let loose in a controlled environment to "just be a hoon" and learn about what it feels like to lose control of a car, how a car feels in a skid etc etc Include fatal collisions?

Nzy Twincharged June 1, 2011 Share June 1, 2011 Was taught by my instructor in BBDC that driving during TP and real life is different. Told me in real life when first at the red lights should rev till more than 4k then considered real driving. lol. But I did not choose the fixed instructor one. So I got different instructors for each lesson. There was one lesson supposed to learn the crank course and S course but then he never teach me anything just ask me try to go through those course first. Then managed to go through without any problem so he said since i know already ask me go out of the circuit to drive. End up he was sleeping while I drive around. Woke up only when I jammed brakes cuz saw amber light. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good-Carbuyer 1st Gear June 1, 2011 Share June 1, 2011 Not talking about passing your driving test, but how to survive + not be a nuisane on the roads, in real life?? My time life was simple, and roads are half deserted, so i have no complaint about the lesson he taught me...but what about today?? Our determination to diligently drive safe and accident-free is most important and useful after passing the driving tests. Among those who received invitation to accident-free dialogue with AA (totally accident-free among heavy vehicle drivers). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takumi21 2nd Gear June 1, 2011 Share June 1, 2011 My instructor was a very nice person, not one of those who didn't pay attention to me or fell asleep as I drove, and taught me how to pass the test beautifully, but admittedly didn't teach me much of the skill needed to survive and drive comfortably in different environments as a qualified driver. But when I wanted to take some refresher lessons from him, he recommended I learn from another instructor, who happened to be his friend. He told me that he had prepared me for the test, but his friend would prepare me for the real world In the end, those lessons with that other instructor cost me a lot but I never regretted. So I was quite fortunate in that aspect. good instructor.. i got 1 idiot instructor teach me how to driver slower if past by bus stop to bouy chio bus.. dunno how to pass also.. muahaha..
