Thesedays, such simulators are not expensive. Afterall, they can be used again and again.

 

If airlines can afford that, I don't see how driving schools can't. At most garment sponsor some la.....what is a simulator cost to them if it saves many accidents in a year.

Gharmen Sponsor? [shocked] U never heard that this is not a welfare state. Where got gharmen sponsor anything?

 

If gharmen make it compulsory to use these simulators, then u can b assured that driving lessons will increase by 2X liow. Gharmen say it's safer & good for everybody so don't complaign & just pay.

 

If u not happy, don't learn driving then.

 

Look at what happened to pork prices when now all the pork must b stored in chillers. Last time got $6/kg. Now is $9/kg. That is a 50% increase. I wonder if they added this when they calculate inflation?

 

Pork sellers prob make about 30% more but they have a good excuse for increasing their prices. They simply say "Gharmen say must do leh". [sly]

Singaporeans can drive well, in fact much better than those angmors in other countries especially when comparing between fresh p-platers.

 

I think this is partly due to our stringent, quota-driven TP tests.

 

Personally, I feel a good amount of our accidents are not due to our incompetency of driving a car/bike/van BUT rather our attitude and mentality that negatively influences one's driving. (eg; self-esteem problem, selfishness, un-graciousness, etc..)

 

Someone might laugh at it, but it's a major issue if one can look at the bigger picture.

 

I guess we ARE bad drivers still... [:/]

well drivers getting from bad to worse plus 80% (estimated) are auto cars (fast pickup, slow in braking - foot brake, hand brake)

 

& the pisser of all inconsiderate driving, kaisu drivers. when u see ample space for u to filter, u signal & the driver of lane that u intend to go to start to close the gap. this result in pple having to move nearer to exit & filter out. at this rate, who to blame for those chain collisions???

 

btw, lousy drivers do not restrict to race, gender, mode of transport period.

Now most of the AD's r having a roaring good time cos they have so many customers cos they r forced to do the servicing there & they take out the sharp knife & do a quick slice to the throat, most blur customers don't even realise they have been cheated. [knife]

Well people are funny .... they can do tons of nut things just to save 15 bucks and spend 500++ bucks on a 'interior' or exterior car items ....

 

Maybe Borneo should sell all these, more attractive [laugh][laugh][laugh][laugh]

believe me ... [sweatdrop]

 

 

 

I've just done my servicing at a local car shop ... straight away go do LTA inspection, all in all 200 bucks ... phew. ... compared to a new car ... it could be as much as 3-400 bucks I guess. [thumbsup]

Pay for Learning?

 

[thumbsup]

 

That's where the $$$$$ goes ... if not, why they wana sell the car to us at such a low price? It's usually the after-sales that kills

Yes indeed .... it is a major problem ... that is the reason I ended up writing in this thread .... not because we can laugh at ourselves but to let others who read this thread understand that they/we might be doing this and that on the road without knowingly.
