The son of one of my parents friends got killed in a car accident long way back, so they’re still kinda queasy.

and most likely they don wan to fork out the hundreds or thousands in repairs should you make even a tiny dent Neutral Neutral Neutral

alternatively, you can fork out a little to rent a car to test your skills..

Got my license 2 over years and drove my dad's car. But I've already damaged it like two times.....

Dented the rear door quite badly the first time and had the paint rubbed off on the front bumper the 2nd...
These didn't occur in the first few months of driving though.....

So you see....its not about getting a license and proving you're zai or anything. You're bound to get some minor damage to the car after some time and your parents probably do not want that because (1) they either love the car or (2) they don't want to pay for damages (3) they are afraid you may get into an serious accident Mr. Green

but i am a very careful driver! if accidents happen, it can happen anytime! doesn’t mean few yrs later i wun get into accident rite? the more they dun let me drive, the more buay zai i become rite?? dun understand their mentality. no car nvm, got car also dun wanna let me drive… rather park there let me drool… damn it

I was as eager as you to drive when I first got my licence. Well I suppose you think you're a very qualified driver now that you've got your licence right? Let me tell you that you're wrong! I bet you can't even park properly now.. poles and real cars are different... If you insist on driving out on your own, please start thinking of how u're going to tell your father about a dented car door...or a missing bumper....or a total wreckage. You'll even find it hard to tell your father about a small dent tht u made on the car!
These are part and parcel of a new driver.. you may want to drive around with your father in the car first...then after some time, he may allow you to drive out on your own already..but defintely u'll get the car into some trouble...trust me...
Well...on the other hand, for those who havent drove a long time since they got their licence...i dunno what to say abt them.. KEEP 10 METERS AWAY FROM THEM! IF THEY DECIDE TO PARK BESIDE YOUR CAR, PRAY THAT NOTHING HAPPENS!

this i do very agree with u..... haha... i donno i got into how many accidents before liao. hahaha.. the worst one is the most recent one (last yr) and tat last one..

but one must agree tat, if u dont drive freq, u tend to love the feel of the rd.

why dont u try asking ur parents to let u drive them ard during family outing? as time goes by (slowly n patiencely), they will gain trust in u and allow u to drive out on u on. dont also think tat ur parents is niao dont let u drive.. take a look at urself, ur character i mean. ur parent noe u best. i always claim i'm very careful and everytime kena accident isnt my fault... but i can be a very reckless driver once on the rd.

I dented the bumper of my dad’s car 1 month after i got my licence….then i scratched the bumper against another car a few months later…then my dad got a brand new car and i dented the bumper again…all these happened during my probation period…these are precious experiences tht will make u a safer and better driver but the question is…Are you willing to go through it?

edLow SG

hahaha. sound so much like me!
the 1st day i pass my test n test drive my dad car, i scratch his side mirror while parking... a few months later, a few scratch n some dents on the side n rear of the car.

the worst one wasafter my probation period.. bout 1 1/2 yr since i got license. got the whole rear bumper + boot case + spoiler buang. and tat it's.. the first time i felt pain (not my fault, the lorry driver whom buang me was sort of drunk.) tat when i start to drive smartly and very safety.

my probation is ending in 1 month time.. for the past 11 months, i haf been driving my parents ard for dunno how many times.. they juz keep claiming i not zai.. they expect me to drive like a seasoned driver b4 i can drive out alone, but i onli get to drive like twice a month? how to become seasoned? i am definitely a 100% careful driver who puts safety above everything else.. they juz refuse to let me drive out alone… damn pek cek
