Hmmm sakin po $45 / hour. Weird naman ginawa pa niya 45 minutes. Bago pa kasi kayo makapunta sa practice site niyo, 5-10 mins na. Tapos yun pauwi kasama din dun sa oras na binabayadan so medyo bitin yan. Kaya niya ginawang 5 sessions. Kung tutuusin kaya ng 3 sessions yan if $45 / hour / session. Ngaun lang ako nakadinig ng 45 minute sessions sa driving.

Oo nga po, maganda idea yan. Although siguro I doubt it if i-prioritize nila ito, sadly.
@Metaform
Not sure lang po about Melby, pero sa tingin ko po madali lang naman magpa-sched ng driving test. Ang challenge lang is getting the time slot that you want.

hi bryan, ngyon lng ako ng sign up... i am also looking for a Filo driving instructor. bumagsak ako ng unang take ko... tsk tsk.. ang fail item ko, overspeeding, 4x at marami pang iba.
anyhow, baka nsa yo pa ang contact details nun kilala mo instructor..
parng gusto ko aral ulit.. no choice kasi. di ako makabili ng sskyan rito kasi la mgdadrive. hahaha.
and here in syd, owning a car is not really luxury unlike sa pinas, necessity talaga. hirap mg-abang ng bus at mkisabay palagi. dyahi na to the highest level. Di naman ako pwde magbike pg malayuan.
well, well. well. so much for the drama. . i just need to give it another go. hopefully this time, makalusot ako..while my self confidence is still intact.
thanks in advance!

@IslanderndCity you have to check interstate requirements but normally if you're just driving there for a while your licence from another state should be okay otherwise if you move there then you need to get it converted
