How long did it take you to learn driving?

[noemi86]

Hello!

5 days/5 hours lang kinuha ko for my driving lesson.
1hr per day in 5 days.

okay na kaya yun?

worried ako.

[MaitaOfMakeupOnDemand]

Ok na yun. I took the same class when I was 16 and I've been driving ever since (I'm 34 now).

[ilbsiri]

^do you have a little background in driving before taking a formal lesson? if yes, then that's enough, you'll learn more in actual mean to say without instructor or alone. Ask your instructor to let you drive in traffic, highway (I've seen some in EDSA) and parking. That's the hardest kasi so when you're alone manuever and whatnot will be just easy peasy na

[MaitaOfMakeupOnDemand]

^ actually I had no driving background whatsoever before taking formal lessons. But my instructor had me driving in Paranaque traffic on the first day, manual transmission pa nun because automatics were rare at that time. Don't worry TS, madali lang mag-drive. As in.

[ilbsiri]

actually sis MaitaOfMakeupOnDemand kay TS yun pero I agree with you madali lang mag drive basta relax lang and yeah tulad ng sabi ko at ginawa mo mahirap agad para the rest madali nalang

[gorgeous_me]

TS noemi86: hehe wow, ang konti ng hours mo, buti ka pa, ako kasi non, wala talagang background, nagkaroon pa kami ng FX at jeep ha, pero hindi ko siya natry, haha, kaya kumuha ako ng 16hrs, pero mura lang kasi kung mahal yun baka 7hrs lang kinuha ko, haha

ok na siguro yan, kung may car ka naman, don ka na din magpractice, para nasasanay ka at hindi mo nakakalimutan, hehe

10 hours in 5 days. M/T. But planning to buy A/T kasi hindi comfy magdrive sa city/heavy traffic using M/T.

[boredkickasschick]

took me 2 hours, the rest lakasan na ng loob.
you gotta have the will if you really want to drive

 On and off yung lessons ko sa driving di nga ako umattend ng lessons reg road signs tinatamad kase ako.  (sa province namin to moons ago, teenager pa ako haha. 34 na ko ngayon. )Sa kalye na kagad ako. When finally i needed to drive na talaga what we did was since i already knew the basics naghire ang mom ko ng driver for a month. Chaperone ko lang ako pa rin nag drive, just to boost my confidence while on the road.  So yun after a month okay na ako mag drive mag isa.

[supladitang cute]

^ Same tayo yung 5 hours ko sa Honda DS siguro tinake ko in 4 months putol putol. When my new car arrived, hindi ko pa siya nahawakan puro kuya and bf lang nagdadrive for me. But since mas patient si bf, once a week pag feel ko, kukunin ko yung steering wheel then practice pero mga 10 mins lang then pasa ko na ulit sa kanya.  Nakakastress sa una pero you'll get the hang of it na rin. Isipin nyo na lang may mga driver nga na hindi nakapagtapos pero natuto, tayo pa kaya. Lahat naman natutunan pag gusto. 

[Jaguar.Paw]

di ko na matandaan because that was 10 yrs ago  i was 15 back then. ang naaalala ko lang, mahal ang driving lesson kaya di ako nag enroll. natuto lang ako as audience nung tinuturuan yung Ate ko tapos one day ni drive ko na yung mga sasakyan namin. lahat M/T.

[SOFIEMAE]

^huh! galing mo naman, hindi kaba natakot paano kung makabanga ka or mabanga ka? gusto ko narin matuto mag drive pero mas feel ko mag enroll kesa paturo ako kay hubby ang sungit kasi pag tinuturuan ako totoo bang lumalakas ang loob once marunong na mag drive? kasi matatakutin ako, tumawid nga lang ako hindi ko kaya mag isa nakikisabay pa ako sa mga patawid 

san ba mga sis mura lang ang driving lesson?

[rychel07]

took driving lessons for 7 hours lang, 1 hr per week yun. ok naman yung instructor ko kasi before we end the 1st hour I was already driving pero slow speed palang.

[aquacharly]

To learn driving basics:  1 afternoon.  Ok na drive within the village.
To drive outside, around the area:  1 day
To drive on EDSA from Ortigas to Makati/Manila Hotel:    susko, 1 month.

[annamarie88]

Okay na yun TS.. First time ko magdrive, sa macapagal gabi, pinasubok lang ng friend ko (na matapang lol) yung new beetle nya.. A few months after, nagdriving lessons ako sa A1 7hours.. Although hindi naman ako nagdrive diretso kasi wala naman ako own car hehe as in madalang, pasulpot sulpot lang, sometimes pag may lasing na friend, ako magdrive pauwi ng car nya hahaha tapos bago ko tnry yung manual ng kapatid ko, nanood lang ako sa youtube, lol nadrive ko naman, basically tapang and instinct sya  pero magkakaron na ako own car, this year, just to be safe (para daw sa car lol) magrefresher ako 

[happilytaken2]

sis noemie ok na yung 5 hours in 5 days. yung diskarte kasi sa daan, either makukuha mo yun from your family members who you saw driving, your boyfie or hubby or sa sarili mo nalang talaga. lakas ng loob lang talaga need mo after you've finished your 5 hours of driving lessons. It helps na may kasama kang marunong na mag drive kung gusto mo mag drive sa highway but before palang kayo pumasok sa car tell him or her na not to say "Uy! wag jan" or "Oh! malapit ka na dumikit." kasi it's super nakakagulat and annoying na akala mo mababangga ka na.

[TysLolakins]

Took me a few months kasi one weekend day a week lang available yung instructor ko.  Prof driving instructor siya, bf ng cuisine ko, kaya liber.  Pero lahat itinuro sa akin, including freeway driving and reading maps.  This was in 1981 ha wala pa GPS and navi.  And he would test me by giving me an address and it's up to me to take him there.  Kahit nagkakawala wala kami I had to figure out how to get us back on track.
I'm very thankful na siya ang nag turo sa akin, I aced the driving test on the first attempt.

[gorgeous_me]

^wow, galing naman

ako nga, pag hindi ko kabisado yung place o daan, hindi ako pupunta, LOL

Finally started my lessons sa Smart. So far so good sa 3 hours. May 3 hours pa ko na sked next week. First day i told my instructor san ako hirap. Nakwento ko rin na never kami naka-edsa or highway sa A1. Ayun, unang araw dinaan ako sa EDSA kaya medyo lumakas na rin loob ko. Haha. Lucky rin kasi my dad's friend is willing to teach me. He'll be my chaperone in the next couple of weeks. Yesterday we drove for three hours just to practice. Nakarating kami sa eastwood and pasig, then makati and taguig. Ok rin parking pa talaga i-practice ko. Kaloka,
