Is it necessary to go through a driving school? If so, which is the best?

Thanks for the replies. Yeah, I'll probably put in 15 hours worth of lessons before getting a license and a car. Just going for the automatic here. I've looked around and Smart Driving School is likely what I'll be enrolling in.

Meron sir, #4 sya sa restriction.

Yung pinagaralan ng misis ko eh mas mahal ang lesson ng AT compare sa MT. Maybe because youneed less hours to learn it. For me a target mo talaga makuha sa driving school is not the driving itself lalo na sa AT dahil napakadali lang naman matutunan ito. Ang hanap mo dito eh right driving habits. Kundi para ka lang jeepney driver at taxi driver na marunong ngang magdrive barumbado naman.

sa akin lang, mag driving school ka na, sir. marami ka naman matututunan basta itanong mo nang itanong sa instructor mo. pag hindi mo type instructor mo pwede mo papalitan yan.

pwede ka din magpaturo na lang sa kakilala mo basta may alam talaga sya sa driving and traffic rules. baka kasi turuan ka nun na makipag gitgitan

nung ako kasi nag driving school ang turo sa akin parati eh mag bigay.

To TS, kung ako sa'yo sa M/T mag start mag drive. You'll never know incase of emergency at M/T lang ang available car. Madali lang A/t, i assure you kapag natutuo ka na sa M/T. Mag tanong ka lang sa instructor mo ng proper shifting sa A/T. Example kapag traffic put to N.

For the basics to run the car, driving school is the way to go. I think the cheapest from Smart is 2200 for 5hrs. BTW, ang mahirap sa driving pag newbie is yung ano gagawin mo sa actual situations like sa singitan, sa expressway, may motor/truck sa paligid mo, parallel parking, hanging, etc. Dito, maraming practice kailangan which hindi kaya ng 10-25 hrs. sa driving school unless you're really good.

agree.
Meron dito sa Tsikot na A/T lang ang alam.
Pag dating sa manual wala na, 2 hands up na.

kulang cguro ang 7 hours to practice for exposure. if you'll be good at M/T, you will be VERY good at A/T for sure. haha. it's really a matter of confidence. besides, may preno ang instructor mo, go lang. hataw lang with confidence :D
