    congrats, be safe on the road and happy gala kung saan saan
    God grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things i can and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people i had to kill because they pissed me off.

    I passed my Filipino test on my first attempt, and didn't have any lessons at all - total cost was about 250 pesos (and the best part of a day sitting around LTO).

    I guess that 36 years experience driving in UK/Europe, and 2 months experience driving in Phils may have helped.

    However, congratulations to you LadyJ, especially if this is your first ever licence.

    I heard there were new laws being passed to see if the person taking the test is the one on the form. I wonder if it will be some hairbrained scheme of the imprint of your ass on the carseat Show us your ass print.AHA it is not the same as it was before when the test was taken- it is very large. Right Mr Brown...so it was not your friend Tony that took the test for you?Hes a bit skinnier than you.I think your not as good as driving as him. But you are both good at U turns

    I paid £21 per hour.

    You can get a driving lesson from £18 per hour but it depends where you live. You dont want to get a cheap driving lesson because they said they might not a good instructor.

    Good luck to learners!

    Only yourself can tell if you're ready for your test.

    Thanks!


    I want to share this video, I think this is in Italy. The lady is trying to do a parallel parking.

    Watch it and it'll make you laugh but you'll also feel she's so stupid!

    Just because she passed the test, it will not necessarily mean that he will let her use the family car......

    Would you....???

    She can get herself a car then or better yet ask her hubby to buy her a little car.

    Wahhhh its getting higher now the lesson. I'll be having mine soon £20 per lesson same as my husband, he spent £440. I was so happy when my father in law offered to shoulder the lesson fee.

    THank you guys!!

    Kimmi, you never know, you might just have to pay less than £630 for driving lessons. The quicker you learn the less you pay!

    My top tips are

    Do:
    Listen to your instructor
    Read books about driving and highway code and watch some videos which you'll find them free on the internet.
    Get plenty of practice with instructor and private.
    Always check your mirrors
    KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN AND KEEP LOOKING AROUND!!!!!!

    Don't:
    Don't worry about how much you'll have to pay for lessons.
    Don't leave a week gap without learning driving with qualified instructor.

    and finally
    Don't let your nervous gets you on the day of your test, I was nervous but I concentrated on my driving and the road then I realised that I forgot all about nervous. Just be yourself!

    ONLY YOURSELF CAN TELL IF YOU'RE READY FOR YOUR TEST.

    Goodluck to you kimmi and to everyone else.

    Ate ping don't give up!
