It’s a proven fact that in Singapore, not all who possess a driving license can drive. In fact it’s such a trival proof that I shall not even bother showing.

Anybody who has taken the driving exams should know how unrealistic they are. Real parking lots where got poles one? And nobody purposely build roads like the S-cruve and crank course.

I’m sure we have come across people who can’t park even after they passed. And it’s not that they are bad or anything but they have been taught by their instructors to follow a standard sequence of turns to park at the driving centre’s lot. Like “full lock the steering wheel when the pole touches this sticker” or using a particular tree as a guide.

In the end they pass but then cannot park. End up denting and scratching other people’s car. And that’s only on parking.

This is what happens when instructors are assessed on their students’ pass rate. Their students only learn to mug and pass, but never actually learn to drive.

The traffic police should wake up their idea on who they are letting on the road. Being allowed to handle a potential “weapon” is a great responsibility. Such drivers are a danger to us all.
