driving lesson anecdotes a.k.a. words of wisdom from the driving instructor

"your tester is an old man, probably in his 50s. he needs to be reassured that you are a safe driver because if he is not, he will not want to pass you. remember - he probably has a weak heart."

"erm, your left blind spot ah, is virtually non-existent (translation: you hardly check your left blind spot) and your tester sits on the left so he will notice it more. and it's harder for girls with ponytails? do you know why? because when you turn your head your ponytail will flick so if he doesn't see a flick from the corner of his eyes he will know you didn't check."

"why are you in such a rush to get through the course? the slower you take, the less things you have to do to fill up the 40min test time so you should go slow. then you will have less chance of losing points."

"sorry if it seems like i am dosing off. because i am. but your driving is pretty safe so good for me lor."

"remember, it's all about wayang... give the tester the impression that you are a safe driver... although you SHOULD also be a safe driver, not just act it."
