New drivers should ideally not get in sort of mishaps. They will lose confidence. I suggest you take up further refresher lessons to get your confidence back.

The confidence was built but then one day, while reversing car parking, by mistake, I pressed accelerator in place of break and the car banged backside fence but luckily no one was injured.

From that time on, for last three months, I have not drived my car and have lost the confidence.

Please suggest how to install the confidence back.

Regards,
Suresh More

Looks like you need more lessons and practice. If possible, ask some family member or friend to assist you.

Having an unsuitable driving instructor obviously will cause you lots of unpleasantness. Should you fell uneasy with your present instructor, by all means, seek another who is suitable to you.

You are right! An instructor who is impatient and cannot communicate with you will make learning very unpleasant.

Thank you for you kind words. As you say, you are in Setapak and I am in Klang. Make sure you find the correct instructor in your next quest. Best of luck!

I’ve never driven in my life nor do I know anything about cars. So, it was indeed an excitement for me when I started the 8-hour requirement lessons. However on the second day of my lesson, my instructor started raising his voice and showing his displeasure, in fact he made stopped the lesson 10 mins before the lesson time ended. Clearly he is not communicating with me well and I’m expected to know when to change to gear 2 while driving – this is an example. I don’t mind him being strict with me because I really want to learn but definitely not on my second day!! I did not want to get into an argument with him either because then it would affect our ‘relationship’ and this will make lessons harder to handle. Please advise what I should do. I’m thinking of changing my instructor/driving school after the 8 hour lesson requirement and take my subsequent additional lessons from another instructor who would be more patient and sincere in teaching me to drive. Looking at your profile, I wish I could continue my lessons with you but based on location, I’m not sure if you would be keen. I live in Setapak whereas you are in Klang.

Thank you.

5 years is rather long time. You have been psychologically affected by your accident. To overcome your fear, you need a very good and patient driving instructor.

The above instructor need to slow and instill confidence back into you.

Whether you will be able to find an instructor of such caliber as I described, is anybody’s guess.

Anyway, I hope you succeed in finding him. Best of luck to you.

By the way, where are you located?
