tsk... hate na hate ko yung mga "instructors" na nakahawak sa handbrake (my mom always does this dati) at nakikialam sa manibela (kapitbahay namin ginagawa to)!!!

share ko lang...nagenrol ako sa socialites driving school when i was 15 years old. ang pansin nila sa kin:
1. idol ko daw si bruce lee (i don't know the right placing of the hands when turning, so nagkakandabuhol-buhol ang arms ko while making the turn!)
2. i always position the transmission on the 3rd gear instead of the 1st when accelerating from full stop.
3. idol ko din si lito lapid (nagba-banking ang car kapag lumiliko ako...walang menor menor! kulang na lang may magpapasabog ng car or may ramp para tumaob.)

sa mga driving schools, i think socialites is ok. mura ata sila compared to A1. hindi ko lang alam sa AAP...may free seminar pa ang socialites every saturday, as in, all are welcome. topics include: defensive driving, basic troubleshooting, parking techniques, etc. marami ka matututuan.

one more tip...try praciticing on an old model; yung tipong powerless (no power assist, pwera brakes)...dapat dun sa mahihirapan ka. that way, when you're driving your ride, para ka nang nasa heaven. pero ok lang din naman if you're practicing with your own ride; masasanay ka doon. wag ka din matakot makabangga ng non-living thing kung hindi maiiwasan...pwedeng palitan yun. kesa tao ang mabangga mo, papagamot ka pa.

whew grabe daldal ko!!!

btw, once you do learn how to drive, keep on practicing, kahit short trips lang on the weekends

and it doesn't mean that you should go on a road trip immediately. pwede namang baby steps e; tipong a few rounds around the block on early mornings/sundays and such, then gradually increase your "effective range" B)

oh, and bring a road map along

mag-aral ka na lang sa driving school. kahit mabanga mo car ok lang sa kanila, (but for sure hindi mangyayari yun, dahil may break silang separate) hehehe!

yup... aral ka na lang sa driving school.

nag-aral din ako sa driving school even though marunong na ko magdrive. pag naaalala ko yun e natatawa ko kasi kala nila di pa ko marunong.:lol:

IMO, manual man or automatic ang pinakamahirap matutunan ay ang pagtimpla ng pedals.

I learned to drive on a Ford Laser with no power steering. I dreaded 90 degree turns dahil di ko matimpla ang gas. Ilang beses kaming muntik nang mag-dive sa canal hehe.

I'm trying to teach my wife how to drive our automatic. I never knew the Lancer can make a full 360 degree turn within a normal two-lane road at speeds above 40 kph. Bigat ng paa :D

well then carlocaraddict cannot offer his services for FREE :evillaugh

seriously tho, you would be better off with an instructor from a driving school. at least wala kang liability kung may makasagi man sayo.
