  When your gf start to drive
  
  please do us a favour
  
  give us the car number
  
  so that whoever cross the road
  
  or drive on the road
  
  we will program that car number into our mind
  
  and know what to look out for

  1) find a big nice secluded car park and let her drive there to gain confidence.
  
  2) drive an auto transmission car pls.
  
  3) take public transport. like others say, dun be road hazard, seriously.

  I have a friend in SIngapore who has the same problem and he never passed his driving test,I think it is the fear of failing the test that is bothering him even more.By the way I wonder if TS is talking about himself but blaming it on his GF>

  She just has to drive more often lor. No two ways about it if she wants to overcome the fear. Actually what causes her phobia? She ever had an accident or something like that before?

  i think its the phobia come from the instructor who taught her last time..the old instuctor always insult her everytime she did mistakes..with words like "pighead", "stonehead" and many insulting comments..pity her..
