Don't remember too well. I estimate approximately 9 hours worth of lessons, and none of those were taken right before the test. I actually had a large gap of a period of a few months between the lessons and the test.
i think i had 5 lessons + 1 diagnose...my instructor kept on saying i came up to him too late and i was gonna fail=P
i just started learning and i've been doing 12 hours already and still getting nowhere. it's pretty hard cause i'm learning manual. i'm in australia so it started of being $41 an hour then it go up to $43 and now $45...
-loli'm learning manual kinda hard but i like it and yea i found a new driver gonna have a lesson with him this sat
psychic yeh right....think i said it somewhere more like xP well okies my lessons started at £18.50 i think then rose to like £19 slowly -tongue2......yeh BSM seems expensive but i got student discount with them and my instructor was really nice....he'd give discounts and told me how to save money....etc... fookjai --> manual rocks the most...makes you feel like a formula one driver sometimes -lol
haha my instructor was nice, but if you did something wrong he would explode like a volcano -lol makes you learn fast! i think everyone should learn manual, logic being, if you know manual, you can sure drive an auto! but not the other way round
I think I took 8 or 9 lesson and drove around with my dad for 20 hours before doing my test and passing it on the first try xP
passed first time in manual did almost 90hrs... think it was 89hrs... but didn't count all those short chopping trip drives. learning manual is harder but in the end is better because u can drive both manual and auto. my friends all drive manual... haha... they can neva drive my car...
and by exploding you meaning he'd start to beat you up......as in make you pull over and get out then push you against a wall??? hahahaha....j.k yeh i agree wid ya...learning manual is the key! -smart
^ hey....tong tong...sorry for blurting YOUR story out....my bad....i promise i wont say any of your private stories no-more
I think I had 25 driving hours (about 12 lessons) with an instructor and after I made driving accompanied during 2 years then I gained experience for the driving test ^^. If I remember correctly, one lesson was 2 hours for about 40$.
Wow, makes Malaysian driving lessons sound so expensive. I had about 20 hours driving lessons (my dad ain't so good that he gives me side lessons) and my bill amounted up to RM 400. In Malaysia, we have to come up with "Duit Kopi" because drive instructors will not judge you fairly at the actual testing area if you don't cough up the extra money. That means you pay the "Duit Kopi" to get judged like you should, and still stand a chance to fail. Lucky me, I passed on first try.
^Yup yup.. my friend refused to pay the duit kopi and she had to take the driving test 3 times!!! -doh Stupid bribery style which is so rampant here, that if you refuse to bribe, they purposely fail you! Usually the parking is where you may stand a chance to fail even if you bribed, coz everyone is watching... so the instructor usually follows the rules.. but if you don't pay the bribe money, he'd purposely fail you during the driving section... I paid it of coz and passed at first trial hehe.
^ Just 1 particular race actually. Right BBRain? Actually at the parking area, I reversed my car till it touched the pole (cuz the stupid instrictor kept telling me to back up more). Lucky the pole didn't fall over. The other test were fine. The on the road test was kinda tough and stressing, cuz the insructor kept silent and writing on his board. He chidded me for not using more than 3rd gear (cuz my teacher told me not to go beyond 3 as L-liceners weren't suppose to do until they pass the exam). He asked me in Malay "Ada bayarkah?" meaning "did you pay". I know he meant the Kopi so I said yeah. Otherwise, I think he'd fail me on purpose.
^ Well, he didn't say "Duit Kopi" out loud so even if we report him, it's open for interpretation right? And speaking of driving, when I took the test, there was 1 lousy kancil that every failed person seem to drive. I was so anxious I'd get it ya know. When it was my turn the car was right in front of me! Luckily 4 ppl were to get into 4 kancils so I picked the one in front of me. hehe..
Drove around with my pop and bro whenever i got the chance during the 10 months waiting period from written to practical exam. Cant recall how many hours...
