A man shared his experience of getting a driving license in Singapore and hopes that the license will him secure a job.
He found out that an average student has to spend close to SGD$2,000 if they were go via the route of learning it from a driving school. He stated that the fees are very high and often they have to pay for various extra useless lessons such as “simulator” to advance their lessons.
He said: “You let me play a simulator that is worse than Daytona arcade game in the 90s and expect us to learn it?”
He said that he wanted to get a class 4 license so that he can drive the lorry and secure a job, but in order to do so, he must first spend at least SGD$2,000 to get a class 3 license to wait for him to get enough driving experiences to learn class 4.
However, the point is not the waiting period to get more experience, the student must again re-register for the school and pay another fee to get registered as a student.
He said many of these schools are deliberately set the expiration date shorter so they have to pay for the fees again.
