Naovercome ko na since nakapagdrive ako ng automatic, sa manual lang kasi ako talaga ninenerbyos dahil nalilito ako  sa pagpapalit ng gears.  Pero dahil nasabitan ako kagabi, hay naku, ayan, takot na talaga ako magdrive...

I still have fear in doing long drives or simply going to makati na hindi mall. My driver got hit nga so that added to my phobia. I'm one of those na super bagal mag drive.

Ako kaya natatakot magdrive kasi ang sungit ng husband ko magturo. I enrolled nalang tuloy sa 10-hour course. Even after my lessons, ang sungit parin ng husband ko. Ewan.

ok na ako sa pagddrive, pero minsan hindi ko maiwasan matakot, lalo na kapag traffic, tapos may bigla bigla na lang sisingit, o kaya yung tipong wala ng bigayan, wala ng patience, e ako laging nagbibigay, kasi mamaya, mainit pa yung ulo ng driver, katakot, o kaya pag sinabayan mo, dalawa pa kayong hindi magbigayan, haha (gulo ko lang) :P

may mga drivers kasi na dapat walang license (ang sama), I mean, mapapatanong ka, pano to nabigyan ng license? pero nasa pinas tayo, so yun lang, haha

anyway, nung dati, na sobrang takot pa ako, lagi lang sinasabi ng kapatid ko, hindi naman yan mawawala, pero dapat masanay ka, hehe. E mas nauna pa akong nag-aral ng driving kesa sa kanya, pero mas magaling na siya sa akin, LOL

well, ayoko pa din sa uphill traffic, haha, manual kasi, kaya cheating mode pa din ako sa uphill, at mas malakas ang kaba ko don, kasi, baka umatras o mamatayan ako bigla, nyahaha (lalo pang nagcause ng traffic, haha)

the last time i drove mga 9 years ago then drove again monday lang. hindi naman ako ninerbyos, un mga pasahero ko ang ninerbyos pati daw aso namen hehe. iniisip ko kase kung kaya ng mga lola (post ng isang sis natin dito) kaya ko din. tsaka lalabas talaga un stock knowledge kase kala ko nakalimutan ko na yun sa paa (manual) pero automatic sumisipa un paa ko. need more practice lang kase makukuha na namen un niloan na car kaya drive uli (tamad kase ako, mas gusto ko pasahero lang hehe)

nakarelate ako dito sis. Si hubby rin saksakan ng sungit. Kaya nga sa pinsan nya ako magpapaturo kaso napostpone muna because i got pregnant. I cannot imagine if si hubby magturo sakin baka mag away lang kami. Naway maconquer ko rin ang fear ko.

i wasn't that confident in the beginning driving a stick.  mga 3 years na ako nagdrive ng automatic when i learned to use the manual.  buti na lang umuwi ako at doon ako sa
probinsiya nag-practice ng nag-practice.  endless farmland and hardly any other vehicles,  kaya natuto talaga ako.  kaya noong bumalik na ako,  kaya ko na mag-drive ng stick in traffic.
i cannot be afraid to drive, it's a necessity here.

My dad's technique was very effective for me. He first enrolled me in automatic course for 10 hours. Kind of weird but he told me that it's better to learn manual when you already know the basics of maneuvering. And it helped me when time came that I have to learn manual na kasi all I have to think of is balancing the clutch and gas, and shifting gears. So I drove automatic for about a month.

And then my dad taught me how to drive manual.

I have to say learning automatic helped in driving manual transmition easier. I learned in a span of less than a week. I already brought my car to work, but I'm still learning.

Honestly, it's better to drive alone kasi nadedevelop yung pag form ng diskarte mo on your own kasi in reality, it's hard to rely on someone to dictate to you when to shift gears and such. Mas matututo ka pag nagdrive ka mag isa, as long as you are backed-up with knowledge.

Slow Learner or too old?
« Reply #352 on: August 06, 2014, 05:21:45 pm »
Hello mga sis im a newbie here po need your opinion lang  :) . I'm 27 years old and this January lang ako kumuha ng 5 hours lesson sa A1 automatic. After that di naman ako talaga regular nagpa practice, yung husband ko lang nag practice sakin pag may time kami. I can drive na naman at hindi naman ako takot or nine-nerbyos kaya lang im having problem sa pagdating sa pagbalik sa manibela after lumiko kaya minsan na frustrate yung hubby ko sakin. I'm thinking tuloy na baka slow learner ako or I'm too old na to learn how to drive, or maybe nakakalito lang talaga kapag may nagdi dictate kung saan ka dapat magpunta (di ko pa na try na ako lang mag isa). May pag asa pa kaya ako matuto?  :(

^naku sis, magagamay mo din yan, later on, hustler ka na din, haha

kahit ako nung nagstart pa lang ako, yung kaliwa't kanan, hindi ko alam, haha, nalilito pa ako non, lalo na kapag parking, and hindi ko pa malaman dati kung diretso na ba yung gulong, haha

tapos, nalito din ako minsan, sinabi nung nagtuturo sa akin, mag-bosina daw ako, ang ginawa ko, nagbreak ako...LOL

pero ngayon, ok ok na naman ang driving ko, siyempre, hindi pa din nawawala yung kaba ko, lalo na MT yung dinadrive ko, hehe

I think age doesnt matter naman when it comes to learning how to drive. I learned how to drive last year lang, 27 na ako nun..my brother naman mas matanda, 30. I even have a cousin who learned to drive at the age of 40. Pero when my daughter reaches the age of 16, i'll enroll her kasi mukhang mas matapang ang loob ng mas bata. Hehe.

Naku sis, normal lang yung nagooverturn ka minsan ng manibela. Soon enough, you'll get the hang of it. I bet you still use two hands when driving and medyo matigas pa hawak mo sa manibela. When you get used to it, you can even drive with just one hand. Although it's much safer to drive with both hands sa manibela and not to multitask (texting or putting on lipstick). Since am a m/t driver, usually my one hand is on the steering wheel while the other is on the stick.

No choice din talaga ako but to learn and force myself to drive.  I don't have a personal driver naman so hindi ako makakaikot ikot if I don't drive.  Pero takot parin ako, so mabagal lang.

Ako I enrolled in a 10-hour class at A1. Take note a/t lang naman ang car namin pero that's how scared I was of driving. I would also practice driving every morning for about mga 10-15 minutes lang.

When my husband went abroad, nagtaxi ako to go to work for the first few days. Then suddenly, naisip ko "kaya ko na!" It was my first time to drive alone tapos from QC pa (where I live) to my office in Pasay. Siguro lakasan lang talaga ng loob. I also made sure I had enough sleep para alert talaga.

I also had "safety lanes". I would stay on one lane unless I absolutely have to change lanes. Like pag nasa Quirino, I would stay on the middle lane (kasi may pedicabs sa rightmost lane etc.) tapos pag nasa Roxas Blvd naman I would stay on the rightmost lane kasi mas mabagal dun. Mga ganun.

Super bagal ko parin magdrive pero at least safe naman. Kung may mga naiinis sa 'kin na other drivers, eh di iprove nilang mas magaling sila by overtaking me. Wala namang problem sakin yun :) haha

Update lang mga sis.,

eto so far so good. I drive at night after work. Dati very short distance lang dinadrive ko. Kalaban ko talaga ang primera. Nung nag Baguio kami ako ang nag drive sa SCTEX and TPLEx. Ok naman kasi diretso lang. Pero hubby ko kasi very strict sa pagtuturo sakin. Talagang dapat makapag drive ako every night. Ngayon nagddrive na ako talaga. Longest na madaming gear ko e from BF Pque to Taguig Sunday yun. Tapos ngayon papasok sa office with traffic and hanging na din. Pero ganun pa din namamatayan pa din ako ng makina pero madalang na lang. I thank God kasi matyaga si hubby magturo kahit nag aattitude ako sa kanya. mahaba pa din ang pasensya nya. Ayoko din kasi magdriving school kasi sayang ang pera, andyan naman si hubby. Prayer ko na lang ngayon ay mas lakasan ko pa ang loob ko para mag tuloy tuloy na.

Kaya natin to mga sis. Ang key lang talaga is to practice everyday.
