    Hi everybody, I just passed my G1 road test. I think some of the chinese
    driving instructors are not good. They ask too much money! 20+ bucks for
    only 45 minutes! 70+ for renting their car for road test! And they use our
    driver's license to book road test for themself, then they sell these
    opportunities to others(even to yourself) to get dirty money! I tried some
    indian instructors(you can find their information near bus stop), they ask
    less money, $20 for 60 minutes(G2 road practice, G1 is negotiable), $50 for
    car renting. Since they have less customers, most of them provide satisfied
    service. This is based on the feedback from some of my friends. Though they
    speek not good english, I think it's doesn't matter.

    Discussions about this topic are welcome.

      I抦 afraid it抯 somewhat TRUE, if not entirely true, but some
      Indian/Pakistani driving instructors are more reasonable than SOME Chinese
      instructors

      before I took my road test, I hired a coach, who is Vietnamese chinese, referred by friends. His rate($18/55mins) was kinda hight at that time among chinese coaches, but the Italian Quebecer coach from my driving school asked more---25 bucks. The chinese coach applied for road test for me, and before and after my practice he always picked me up/dropped me at subway station close to the test centre(he did the same for all his students), and on the morning of test I booked two hours with him and he let me use his car for the test without extra charge. and thanks to his help I passed the road test that day.

      My experience is that chinese from Vietnam/Cambodia/Thailand/Mian3 Dian4, and all those small south asian countries are much more sincere and nicer to fellow Chinese.
