So I engage a driving instructor who slowly milk me dunno how many lessons teaching such a simple thing so slowly. Drag on until driving test which I passed.

From the until now I have never driven a car.
Wasted my time and money.

My lesson learn is if need to get license then go and get. Don't go and learn for nothing and waste your time.

I did not have a driving license when I bought the Lexus GS300 so I got my trading intern to drive it away from the showroom and parked it at his father house where he lived

He became my driver picking me up from my 3rm HDB flat every morning Mon to Friday to the trading arcade along Phillip Street and sending me back home

After I bought the car I took driving lessons like you and passed both the theory and practical test on my 1st attempt

BTW, I am thinking of buying a used Mercedes S350, you can be my driveri

You lost about a million buying your piles of SembMarine from $1.80 to $1.20, now worth around 8 cts

But I am actually against cars due to pollutants. I understand some people need cars but as far as possible use public transport.
