  I passed out about few mths only...
  
  But then i really don dare to drive out alone at all...
  
  Got few times drive, but is always got my daddy beside me lor... Coz i very scared... Haha... LOL...
  
  Though he sit beside me, he keep quiet also, he nev tell me wat to do... Overall, can lor... Can drive... But he not there... I don dare to drive liao... LIk require his presence there lik tat... Got occasions he jus warned me bout tis n tat lor...
  
  Now really kinda of motivated... My friends around me, now all drivin alone... Me so want try... But don dare... Coz of my poor sense of direction so...
  
  I stay in my neighbourhood almost 16yrs liao, n i still dunno my neighbourhood well... So if i really ventured out alone... Wait i lost n dunno how get home!!!
  
  I so got pro parkin... So if daddy beside me, anythin, really cannot, still got him to tak over... If got car, still ok ba... No car beside, i think i cannot liao... N so far, i only tried parkin on left hand side... Right, i remembered my inst says is different sightin pt ah... Nev try before also...
  
  The only time i alone is coz i did parkin... N my dad is near by lor... He standin at the parkin lot there the area... Many times i want try, but then he upstairs... I give up, don want liao...
  
  
  
  Any idea can over come not? I really no guts de... Haha... took me 8mths to complete learnin my class 3...3 times a wk leh...stop abit here n there la... Took so long coz i scared... scared to drive the car... Now pass out liao, also scared... Scared to drive alone...

  ya i agree....
  
  try start rememeber the expressway,like closest to your home wan.
  den if when you miss ur way,try to see road sign and head for that expressway to your home.Know what is CTE?PIE?
  that's sure one day when you will ask ur friend drive and you sit beside.
  coz it a fortune to sit in the car and not driving it...
  
  When you are alone in the car,just think you are the biggest in the road.
  and if really lose,call friend for help.
