AUTO OR MANUAL LEARNING?
-
The Traffic Police said someone trained to drive a manual car would find it easy to adapt to an automatic car.
But they would 'continue to monitor the use of automatic and manual cars and review the current driving test system if necessary', they added.
'There have been accidents in which people have been killed or injured because the driver was not familiar with driving an automatic,' he said.
'This - and the fact that most cars on the road here are automatics - is why we're starting this programme.'
======================================================I I found that article, do u think it is safe to drive a automatic car, i am still considering which to learn a manual or automatic, now after reading this, i am thinking of backing out from auto. do u think so. is that true that statement on top.

10 years ago there was auto transmission, but there wasn't class 3A license, so i think follow the old ways, get license 3, dun be kuniang and go get 3A.

From my personal experience , getting a manual licence is way much better then getting a auto licence . Because of the fact that a manual licence can drive an auto car while an auto licence cannot drive a manual car , so use your brain , which is obviously better ? Besides if you are a guy which could be using your licence to drive company vehicles , be forewarn that no company in sg provide auto vehicle for their employees other then sbs because their buses are all auto gears lol ad you need class 5 licence also . And also think of it , maybe one day you may need to drive your friend home using his vehicle which is an manual car . Don't you think it is very ridiculous that you have to say " i can't drive this car because it is not auto gear " don't you think it sounds abit lame ? And also maybe one day when you are buying a car which has no auto gear , you still can drive it in manual mar . Last but not least , the autogear function cost much more then the manual gearstick .

If your parents do dive look at them drive, if your relatives drive, look at them too, i'm 16 but do not have a license but i can drive a manual without anyone teaching me, just pure observation for a few years.Originally posted by alba:BUT MANUAL IS SO SO DIFFICULT TO DRIVE.

Frankly speaking i 5th time then pass , but now i am able to drive any class 3 vehicle liao . Learning is always difficult but after you get used to it , its a breeze already . When you first learn to walk you also keep falling down mar , then why you still learn to walk ley ? And now you can even jump n run .

Bro, you veri good already. I ever saw woman driver reverse parking the car into the lot, needs about 10X in and out of the lot, before parking the car straight. After coming out of the car, she still goes to front and see if the car is in the centre of the lot.Originally posted by rathcycle:Paing eh, driving is very easy lor.. only thing is that it is irritating to learn parallel parking by yourself with manual gearbox, i never suceeded a 1 shot go in nice nice 1.
I gues she probably needs the Toyota Estima that does the auto reverse parking by itself. -
waste fuel and speeds up clutch wear, i hate it.Originally posted by ditzy:Rubbish! Parallel parking is the easiest, especially downward facing slope, so much kick.
