Just got my TDVL
-
Took the test on last Tuesday 12/11/2013, Module 1 & 2 simple common sense questions passed 90% above but failed module 3 & 4 miserably with 66% and 70% mark. Wasted too much time on few questions ended up not enough time. Learned my lesson and retake the test in afternoon, roughly know what to aim and skip uncertain answer and return if got time left.
Passed both with 90% and 96% and waited for LTA letter, yesterday received and WTH letter said collection is today morning 8.30am. Anyway less than 20mins at LTA office and got my TDVL, keep in pocket.
Still a bit clueless should start as relief driver and take some experience first before thinking to switch to this line...
Any guru pls feel free to comment and advice, millions thanks in advance. Cheers...

I guess you are holding a full time job...
Start off as part time relief maybe driving only 2 nights a week to have a feel first..
Good luck..
-
ya i also think to start as relief driver for a start to have the feel first, night shift i think cannot handle as I'm normal office hours. maybe try on weekend if possible, cdg or smrt will be easier for relief driver to match? as they are higher in fleet number
-
if you work 5 day week type of job, can try fri and sat night.. if not, try sat and sun day shift.. also good learning process...
-
Relief - weekends 12 shift.
Till u are confident then consider next step.
-
Thanks for the tips n advice, guess will need some extra effort.
-
Not only extra effort, but lots of effort, the keys is not about driving taxis or starting to drive taxis, the key is can you sustain as a taxi driver

Fark lah... juz take d farking key n drv to experience it yourself.
End of d day, u r juz a taxi driver. No fark diffin hirer/relief, if u lay down ur pride... nothing is impossible. It's d pride tat u nid to overcome 1st... hardwork cums 2ndary

Be relief first lah, then drive relax, first few days, abit obk nevermind, treat it as lessons, when matured liao, can start to cut those old wish and crown liao...lols Whatever happen, miss paxs or Q wrongly or forget which road,...just dun get into an accident (touch wood). And please open yr golden mouth that you are new, taxi drivers, once on the steering, should reduce yr ego and pride abit, but must still keep a bit, if not kenna people eat you
-
Good.
-
thanks for the comments, actually pride or ego not really mean much to me. put food on table for family more important than these.
-
Not sure whether can switch to taxi trade?
I suggest start as relief is good.
Min 6mths to see the different side.
I am a relief. Starting earn a bit but see alot. 5yrs liao still a relief, but earning more :)
Lesser commitment n stress. More off days n holidays.
-
2 more years. 2 more years. and then the ride is up.

You can swim one. Trust urself.

Swim, everyone also can swim, problem is the swiming trunk, make sure you get a good trunk.
-
Because I see lot of TDs come my office and blame it on the swiming trunk too big or too small when they get into trouble (touchwood accident),
