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... 😂 ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose that's what the track is for also. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
