Hi Mick
Can’t really help you about how long you wife would need to wait if at all.
But I can tell you the driving test has changed so much since I passed our tests, apart from the obvious thing like the theory and hazard perception. The practical also, in this I mean the driving style.
3 yrs ago when took a PCV test and I remember having conversations about what the examiner wanted from me to pass my test, like looking over my shoulder before pulling away from kerbs, I thought that’s why I had mirrors. When I was taught the instructors wanted to see you using your gears to slow you down, now they don’t.
I know modern car brakes can cope with heavy usage and stop you quick, but not in the old ones I learnt in.
So my advice to you is sure give her lessons but use an instructor also and don’t be surprised when she tells you the instructor said to do it like this. It will probably be easier for her if she has never driven in the Philippines, no bad habits like us.
good luck Mark
