no need, po.
but generosity is always appreciated.

[chronicle]

mahal na nga bayad mo sa driving school.. mag tip ka pa?

mas mura nga mag rent nang car.. for 2T a day.. tapos mag practice driving.. in 2 whole days.. 7am to 7pm.. 12 hours per day.. sigurado matututo ka na non.. kailangan lang may kasama ka na may license..

May driving school ba na nagtuturo ng kung pano ihandle ang mga unforeseen scenarios while driving? Like:
1. How to correct your car when you hydroplane at speed
2. When a tire blows at high speed
3. When you lose your brakes at speed
Etc..

Mga nakikita ko kasing driving schools eh kung pano lang magdrive at traffic rules lang tinuturo. Though kahit papano may knowledge na ko on how to handle these scenarios (theoretical lang thru reading at youtube videos), iba pa rin yung pag practical na.

[_Qwerty_]

nope wala nagtuturo nyan.. usualy city driving.. highway driving.. night driving.. parallel parking.. hanging.. yan lang tinuturo..

nung nag driving school ako a long time ago.. from makati pinadaan ako sa edsa going to North Avenue.. tapos nakita ko na lang tulog yung instructor..

only in theory, i suppose.
i do not see them demonstrating it, as setting up the actual scenario is already dangerous enough.

i am confident that youtube has several such videos.

Yes sir, puro dun nga lang ako nanonood. But if there exist such driving school and a controlled environment, would you give it a try?

Sayang nga. Puro ganyan lang meron.

hindi na lang siguro. baka ma-aksidente.
i can not imagine how they can control a car-out-of-control scenario.

in my opinion, when the car starts careening out of control, only doctor strange can save me.

Pwede siguro kung may simulator like sa airplane..

Sa hydroplaning mukhang miracle ang need mo dyan.. slamming the brakes will also get you out of control..

Sa tire blowout.. do not slam the brakes.. slowly decrease your speed

Pag walang preno.. dont panic. Use engine brake.. downshift.. assist with hand brake

Yes meron, dun sa pinasukan ko driving school wayback 1998, i think they still exist today.
Aside from actual driving, they have classroom lecture where they discuss about traffic rules & regulation, basic maintenance & trouble shooting, and driving techniques in different scenarios.

acquiring license now a days should require passing thru driving school, too much uneducated drivers on the street that don't even know the meaning of double yellow lines

My kid is a grown man now, and just enrolled at a driving school to undergo TDC. I'm helping him out and I have a few questions to those in the know...

1. What does he need to bring during the 2 days he'll undergo TDC? Are there any restrictions on what NOT to bring?

2. After completing and passing the TDC, can he take the PDC at a different driving school? Or should both courses be completed at the same driving institute?

I think pen and notebook? pandemic kasi when my daughter had her TDC kaya no items were provided... baka iba na ngayon

2. After completing and passing the TDC, can he take the PDC at a different driving school? Or should both courses be completed at the same driving institute?

normally, discounted ang PDC if you had your TDC with them. try to check, baka mapamahal ka pa if sa ibang school mo kukunin.

***
just a suggestion... isama mo na sa PDC yung motorcycle. its just 1 additional day. super hassle if you plan to add it later

i believe it's a two-day sit-down lecture series.
treat it as an ordinary school lecture day. bring what it is you normally bring, to attend a lecture. i'd bring food along, if there don't seem to be somewhere nearby, for vittles.

the driving school usually conducts a written test after the lectures, and transmits the results to the LTO.
i do not know if taking the lecture course there, and the rest of the driving school requirements elsewhere, is... practicable, or even allowed. best to ask them.

Ah. I remember the days of old when learning to drive was a rite of passage. Instead of a driving school, the dad or an older sibling would accompany the newbie driver in the family's most beat up car and show them the ropes. Enrolling in a driving school was viewed as "for sissies" and pampered brats.

Looking back however, considering all the cursing, the pitiful sound of grinding gears of the manual transmission, the stalling engines on hanging inclines, and the numerous near miss (i.e. muntik na!) incidents which nearly induced a heart attack in the would be instructor, it makes perfect sense to just pay someone else to teach! The driving school is answerable for any untoward incidents, has insurance, and to top it all off, hindi pa malalaspag mga kotse nyo

The latter is good only however, until the next few weeks when the newbie driver heads to your garage and takes out one of the cars alone by him/herself for the first time.

`La lang...

Ahhhh I guess the reason we have these kinds of driver mentality now is because of the dads/kuyas/titos who taught us. Having a professional to properly teach you is the correct way. Baby steps, & maybe & hopefully in a few generations, mas maayos na mag maneho mga pinoy.

I remember the owner of A1 proposed to LSGH back then (he was a LSGH alumni) to include on the highschool curriculum driving. It didn't push through I think. It's a good idea & maybe Deped should consider this. Wag lang sana madaan sa fixer ulit ang process, otherwise ganun lang din ulit mga pinoy drivers.

Thanks... TDC was P1,000, the textbook is another P500. His theoretical class will start tomorrow.

The PDC however, is a whopping 9k (or possibly, my son could've just misheard it). I am still trying to find out what are the inclusions. This is twice what I'd expect to pay for the practical course. I see many postings online charging as low as 4k for PDC.

Sana nga, that would be great! But how do you educate/correct a driver who drives with his ego rather than a mature adult mind? (Example- yung recent incident na hindi lang siya pinagbigyan, nambaril na ng fellow driver...)

Sadly sa US lang ang may driver's ed. We are a 3rd world country with a lot of 3rd world mentality drivers.

Grabe naman sa mahal niyan!
I know we can afford that of course... but ouch!
