Do u think the driving school should teach more things
-
the driving school syllabus first should have additional lessons on areas such as driving on highway, driving in heavy traffic or jammed conditions, driving in narrow lanes, how to change pangchek tyre, what to do in an accident or how to deal with vehicle breakdown, how to deal with road bullies, how to park in an actual carpark full of cars (instead of those poles), how to pump petrol at a petrol kiosk, and driving in different forms of vehicles such as SUV, MPV car, minibus and van, how to do 5 or 7 point turn, how to punch parking coupons, etc......
then these topics will be tested on the TP test.
Then like this, there will be less inexperienced, hazardous and blur P-plate drivers on the road. -

lidat how much would be my driving lesson fee? i just want to get a licence at the cheapest cost possible...
Actually it would be nice, if what you say would come true without any further cost la.. But as for the driving in highway, better dun..it not the place where newbie go and learn how to drive... -

i think they shld teach on how 2 develop driving confidence....something which alot of p-platers are lacking....end up causing jams on the road

accident would be very useful. but hor unlesss its practical like go down and do all the paper work and watch asthe insurance companies wriggle their way out of paying and increase your preiums, no point cos just theroory will forget immediately

All the driving centres have courses for those kinds of things. When I passed my TP at BBDC, everyone who passed had to go and watch a short movie downstairs about road safety and at the end they were advertising this course offered there which involved things like how to park in real carpark situations, and other things that new drivers might not be quite used to

I hate your threads. I seriously farking hate them.
No common sense. -
I think the most impt is to teach how to park WITHOUT poles. Ask anyone school/private, they drive wif a method. Without poles, it is a different story

If you are suggesting that learner driver is to be tested driving on expressway during TP test, please think about it. This will create more traffic jam. Not only that, they also will hog the first lane causing other vehicle to overtake them dangerously. Thus this will create bottleneck on that lane.
Furthermore, Singapore is a small country so there is not too many expressway like more than 20 expressway. Just about 10 expressway like CTE, PIE, AYE, ECP and etc. So there's no need to test the learner driver on expressway.
As for parking, I would suggest that the learner driver first try to master the parking with pole in initial stage. Once he mastered it, then he can do parking without pole in next subject or stage. This is one of factors that will boost the P-plate driver's confidence.
And I felt that we should focus on those topics which will help developing the new P-plate driver's confidence. Driving on expressway as L-plate driver is one of them that I strongly opposed due to several issues. -
actually its the school and private instructor's fault
its the correct way to learn parking using poles.. its actually wants you to see the corner of a car..which is replaced by the poles..
but those instructors invented its method to see rear window.. and ask the learner to turn when the pole reach a destinated position at the rear window..
by right its to let the learner see both side poles which is a replace for the corner of a car.. but the instructors just make a short cut way..
thats y nowadays new p-plate cant park in real carparks..
-
At this rate nobody will pass...Haha.

if one were to ask me .. i would prefer to let new learners drive on the expressway .. expressway is much safer n easier to drive if the new learner have the courage to speed up to meet the speed with others ..Originally posted by paperx:the law say L-plate cannot drive in highway.. -
expressway will have traffic jam.. L-plate hog the last lane..Originally posted by nick34:if one were to ask me .. i would prefer to let new learners drive on the expressway .. expressway is much safer n easier to drive if the new learner have the courage to speed up to meet the speed with others .. -
For me i felt that its easier to park with car by the side then with the pole .

The expressways are DESERTED past midnight on most weekdays. The schools could teach on expressways at those times. just close off the lanes
-
yea, i agree with u. when i got my license, i needed my father to teach me on how to park becuz my instructor only taught me a formula on how to park.Originally posted by paperx:actually its the school and private instructor's fault

they can teach you everything but at the end of the day, they still can't teach you common sense.
