you can call my Instructor at 91504550..Originally posted by ctan87:Hi all...
Am new here and its sad that I have to start by posting something negative. I just got my PDL about a month and a half back after clearing both my BTT and FTT. I found this driving school Daiichi Driving Instruction Center that operates primarily out of CDC at Ubi. I've paid the registration fee of $30 and in the 1.5mths with the school, I've been taught by different instructors on 3 occasions.I'm fine with having a change of instructors once or twice if my "primary" instructor is unavailable however how could it be practically 3/5 lessons?
That's unreasonable at all. On top of that during lessons, there's this particular old man that teaches me, he would fall asleep in the car, and I had to nudge him awake to ask for directions. Isn't that dangerous? I was pretty pissed of by it considering that I'm paying for the lessons and yet I get such unprofessional service. How is that acceptable? And there's an issue of safety involved as well. I was so pissed by the lack of professionalism that on at times, I would suddenly jam on the brakes to jerk the car to jostle the instructor awake, and he would scold me. I told him off that I'm paying for his services and the least he could do is to stay awake, to which he told me off.
Now,I don't wish to create any trouble but I would like to highlight to all about the above and ---> wish that somebody can provide me a responsible driving instructor.<---
Thanks,

there is a drastic measure you could take. write about him and submit his name to both the LTA and the traffic police. I believe the police will look into the matter since as a PDL, your safety on the road shld be under the instructor's watch and if he falls asleep you can count it as "driving without a valid license" since there is "no (awake) instructor beside you"Originally posted by ctan87:Hi all...

LOL!!! I used to do that! BTW me from that above mentioned centre. THAT DAY THE INSTRUCTOR LOST MY CIRCUIT BOOKING PAPER THEN STILL MADE ME PAY FULL AMOUNT EVEN THOUGH WE ONLY HAD 30 MINUTES OF OFFICIAL LESSON. THE REST OF THE TIME WAS SPEND SEARCHING FOR THE SLIP!Originally posted by shrekho:Try this the next time:
If he falls asleep, just ebrake very hard.
Then tell him got "MAO" run over.
Or another tactic, keep shaking the car with the accelerator.
Spoil his engine.
HE MADE ME PAY 1.5 HOURS LEH! WTF RIGHT? -

Hmm...I am currently learning driving from a private instructor highly recommended by my friends! He's really patient, good tempered and responsible!
He shown me what should not be done with the car, like pulling the handbrake without pressing down the button, turning the steering wheel without moving so as to let me learn from all these mistakes even though it will spoil his car. He said that he's ok with it because this car is for learners so he feel he should let us try that. And doesn't scold when I do the wrong things.
Can try contacting him if you all want a private instructor:
