I am not too sure if some soon-to-be TDs is suitable to hold a
walkie when they are new on the road.
There are so many postings here and there from kancheong newbie
TDs who read so much about LV in this forum that they want to jump
right in from the moment they start driving.
I mean when you are new plus the fact that there are so many
distractions on the road, the walkie will be more of a hindrance
than assistance.
Imho, I hope newbies would go out and explore your new
surroundings.
Make changes as your day goes and get a rhythm of your driving
patterns.
Btw, I read that some newbies drive to service or clear their
debts.
Do you know you will be burden with additional debt even before
you drive with a walkie?
LV membership $30/month (which is 1 of the most expensive
membership fee in town) plus max $12/month call charge
Grid basic plan $28/month min subscription
So it is at least $70 excl gst additional debt per month.
But make sure you don't talk too much on the group otherwise you
could be paying something close to $100/month.
Lastly, I am not sure how many calls can you take when you are
new and fighting with all the seasoners out there...
No amount of reading can translate to actual experience.
Remember, it's theory only here and practical out there.
Cheers!
Bro, why so negative? To be fair there are other benefits for
newbie holding a talkie, like listening to airport info, traffic
conditions, Pick N Go locations, etc (although I am not sure how
much of these info was shared in LV talkie group).
Don't say I say 1 hor, last time I didn't have talkie I still
can get all above info using other means. I heard right now they
have 100+ members on the group. But don't ask me how, I cannot
share here lah. I'm scared of Unker Pool's parang. hahaha
