Where to learn how to drive

**the_wildthing** · May 24th, 2004 09:19 PM

Hi all... My wife wants to learn how to drive. I was wondering if I could ask your help in recommending any good school/instructor. There was this one post about A1 or Socialite (I forgot which) teaching all the wrong things.

Yung basic lang, up to 5 hours' session sana, stick shift, hindi bastos yung instructor, tsaka marunong talaga. Was it PMA that was recommended? How do I reach them?

Ako sana magturo kaya lang apparently the method that was used to teach me is not applicable.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks man! Nag inquire na ko. JUne 21 pa yung next available session, pero mukhang ok nga. May classroom type seminar pa. Sched na lang ang problema. Malayo kasi Makati kami.

if you are also willing to sacrifice your ride, you may also get a freelance driving instructor....

What I did back then was to enroll first at Socialite then practice my driving skills with someone like that.

But experience is still the best teacher. If she doesn't practice driving that much you'll just be wasting money...

medyo bad ung experience ko sa socialite...masungit ung instructor...my fault din na di ko nirequest na palitan kaagad ung kumag na un

...pero ok ung experience ko sa A1 megamall branch

still, after driving school, practice, practice, practice! kung hindi malilimutan mo yan! look at me, i've been thru driving school 3x na! di kasi naprapraktis...kaya pinipilit ko talagang maka drive on weekends/holidays

opinion lang po. if i were in the same situation, i'll be the one to teach my wife how to operate (note: operate not drive) the vehicle. why did i say opereate instead of drive. because (let me quote James Deakin) " teaching how to operate a vehicle is very much different from teaching how to drive"

how come. the way i see it, anybody can learn how to operate a car, but to drive, first you must learn how to operate properly, then the process of learning how to drive will follow. driving is a continuous process. one should always remember that.

anyway, my rationale why i will be the teacher for my wife is because for me, it is a form of 'bonding'. saka pinapasa mo sa kanya yung responsibility, lalo na kapag may kids na.

yun lang po muna. for now, wife muna hahanapin ko saka na ko magtuturo. hehehehe :D
