U should know that the minute the instructor pick u up, he starts charging u for the time already. And the instructor will "waste" your time to ask u drive from your home to the test route and back, along the way may pump patrol lah, go makan lah, go toilet lah, etc. In reality, u pay for 2 hours but actual learning may be 45 minutes only.

thats how they earn wat... and esp during the parking time, they can all together talk cxxk... life is so great being an instructor...

anyway depends where you stay, if you stay so far that by using normal routes, to get to the test centre takes 1hr, think better go meet him near the MRT...

I normally meet my instructor at NEL station. After the lesson, I will drive myself to the NEL station, following which I'll take a train home. Paiseh to drive the car back to my house too.
Timing and schedule wise, he's ok one lah. If you wanna change your schedule, just inform him early lor. There was once I book my circuit le, but I couldn't make it, he even tried to get his other students to go into my slot so as not to waste my money.

He's quite patient. Experienced too. Actually depends on individuals, some prefers instructors who are very garang, will scold if you make the slightest mistakes. For me, I prefer if instructor is friendly and not so fierce. Why pay to be scolded.

Rates wise. Its $200 for 5 lessons. So works out to be $40 per lesson. 1 lesson is 2hours.

Seems like he is able to meet my requirements.
So did you pass your 1st time?
Rates seems ok, much cheaper than what my sis paid.
(cant manage to contact my sis's ex-instructor, cos she lost his no.).
btw, normally must take abt how many lessons before can take the driving test?

Guys always look down on lady drivers..

You would want to drive along the test routes instead of training at areas where you will not be tested.

There's one killer test route all Ubi-tested ppl will know....

Cutting frm a super busy left lane all the way to right-lane doing a U-Turn and back to face all the horror.

Although i don't take my driving lessons at UBI .. i pity those students driving in the morning and evenings as the route they drive (along eunos and kaki bukit ave 3) always so jammed up and alot of big lorries.. alot of inconsiderate drivers there who like to overtake them dangerously too..

It's just what i noticed everyday..

Test routes don't memorise best, cos tester might just give you different instructions based on the traffic there and then, and knowing everywhere that's turnable, left, right, traffic light, on all possible routes is much better than driving around your housing estate.
