Driving Lessons

You know something folks, driving lessons should be a breeze in any country. Not here in Singapore. The reason I am saying this is that, I paid around freaking $2000 Singapore dollars for my driving lessons. Three times I took my driving tests and I failed in all of them. Reasons are as follows:

1. He charges $25 for one hour of driving
2. $48 for circuit and his fees
3. Never comes on time (half an hour late for both of my tests)
4. Never tells me the finer points of driving. (what to look out for those
stuff)
5. Ask him to book circuit it’s like waiting for a miracle to happen.
6. Test fees are $198 (including car insurance)
7. Gives me lame reasons that circuit is full that kind of pack of lies

After the third test my uncle called me, I told him the problem. He told me that he will talk to him. Then the next day my uncle called and told me I was scared to drive and every time I said I got something to do, and drop off early. I got so pissed off that I vowed that I never take any recommendation from anyone. It is best that I go and check it out myself.

Now I took another private driving school. It is cheaper, but the instructor is getting on my nerve. He tells me that I drive slowly on a main road. 20km/h. The traffic is heavy. How do you expect me to drive fast?. He keeps on yawning. The reason is that I drive slowly. I told him my parking is weak but he told me you park like a tortoise. In my heart I told myself, I rather park slowly than park fast. Came and tell me I cannot park straight and told me 7 tests all like that. You can never get a driver’s license. I told myself even I can’t pass my driving, I can get a technical job, unlike you who know nothing but only how to teach people to drive. Every single day this pain is getting worse and worse. Why you spend so much money on driving and you get crap shit people who waste your time, never teaching you the right way and not motivating you to get your license. Shit you people. I tell you this is the one of the worse country if you want to take driving lessons. Traffic police even tells me I need more effort. Imagine you gave it all and people come and tell you this thing? . Sucks!!! The driving experience here I gained sucks big time. Needless to say I had it with driving in Singapore.
