Driving instructor recommendations

[bembaman]

I am looking for a responsible driving instructor/school for my daughter. I live in Bangna. As much as anything, I want her to learn the rules of the road (she will be one of the few in Thailand if she achieves it!). I am talking about right of way, courtesy to other drivers etc, which I think is a new concept to Thailand! Anyone got experience of good instructors?

The rules of the road are learnt from theory books, not a driving instructor.

 

The rules are unlearned in practice, mainly after learning to deal with reality in traffic here.
 

Learning to drive as a nice person, you to take her on long road trips. Many only drive from home to office to shop and forget the rules + forget to drive properly on “real roads”. 

 

After her basic lessons i would take her to chiang mai round trip, you learn more when making some real miles and encounter anything from inner bkk traffic, toll ways, highways, night driving, mountains etc

As above, buy her a book for the rules. 

 

Hire a school to teach her to drive.
