Fastest is to get private instructor, less than 10 lessons can take TP but of course depends on the instructor lah. 
if go to school, based on my experience in cdc and another friend that just passed last week in bbdc, then cdc are much faster process. Estimated 3k from registering as student to basic theory to getting the license. That if u pass at 1 try. Each time retake will need like 500 including 1-2 lessons plus retake fees.

Great - thanks! 

very informative.

i wonder whether can find my instructor from 30+ yr ago (not sure he's still alive now...). Both my brother and i first time passed, and I remember i only spent $400 (with a few dollars' change) from registering basic theory until paying for the probation license after passing (just a few days before my PDL was going to expire which would have required renewing...)

Now it's so expensive to get a license...

and i don't think i'm a good enough coach to teacher her myself... if teaching her to study for PSLE last time, was anything to go by... 😂

Yes it is quite expensive. Or else yr daughter can get her license if she going overseas for studies. My nieces got their license in US then covert to sg license by taking basic theory test when they came back. Definitely cheaper and easier.

i also want my kids to learn manual when their time comes.

even intend to buy a manual for them to drive around.

manual allows the full interaction of 4 limbs and allow them to feel the connection between man and machine.

A bike license will give you the fuller package to what you're referring to. Left hand clutch, right hand front brake, left feet gear shifter, right feet rear brake + balancing and learning how to lean your body while negotiating bends. As a motorcyclist you also have to be a lot more aware of your surroundings.

More difficult for me at the start because I had zero coordination. Even after eight years of riding I wasn't particularly good at taking corners. I suppose that's what the track is for also.

Most important is to finish what you started. Finally also pass so it’s ok.
