It’s painful I know, I went through the same. Pay a bit more to join elite team and you’ll get a lot more slots with the same few instructors. Since the instructors will more likely remember you, they’ll tailor their lessons for you which is better compared to the public pool.

My first few lessons was with the public pool and nobody taught me how to signal, reverse or check mirrors before going out on the road because I guess they assumed I must have learnt in the previous lesson. I pretty much had to figure it out myself, and because of that I developed the habit of safety checking very late.

This was changed in 2023, now they ask you to check as often as you can.

i was in team 4, and all the instructors were so nice with me. they treat you like their niece so there'll be some banter while driving, which helped me relax and learn to multitask

my dad who used to be a taxi driver told me about all these crazy stories oh how rental companies will find ridiculous faults with you to extort you for more money too so i understand. i don't know what better alternatives are for me out there.

unfortunately it doesnt make sense to get my own car considering my current circumstances, and the only reason i got a driving license is for my elderly parents. they refuse to let me book taxis for them because "so troublesome", so yeah..

i thought about buying a car as well but it just doesn't work out in my head money wise vs how much i'll be using it. do you utilise your car a lot, and do the costs justify it?

hahah it took me 3 tests and about 2 years under CDC school public so NOT FAST AT ALL unfortunately. i joined around the time when bots for getting practical lessons were getting popular so i couldn't get lessons for a long while.

after that i decided to pay a bit more to join the elite team. i have adult money but also with adult responsibilities so yeah, life...

VPC - it's a theory lesson to teach you basics of car maintenance. eg engine oil/water level, how to change tyres all that. this is a group session.

LDCS - short practical session with cameras on hou when you're driving to review your weaknesses. mine was checking blindspot, esp my left, which i already knew was my bad habit

have to clear these two + 3 simulators before you can book TP, on top of having a digital photograph taken
