Haven't Driven in Years? Here's How to Stay Alive

Let’s just say - cars in Singapore are not exactly the cheapest.

If you haven’t been driving for over 10 years or more, you’re not alone. And in fact, it’s pretty common in Singapore. 

You probably feel ashamed about how long you haven’t been driving, but let’s be honest - with COE prices and high costs of living, one does not simply own a car in Singapore.

Unless you’ve already made it, or you have a family car that you can drive.

Of course, we’ve heard of stories of people who have gotten themselves in huge debt just to get their very own car. We definitely don’t recommend you do this, especially if the car is way beyond your means (even if it’s for a good purpose).

So yes, if you haven’t driven in years, it’s perfectly normal.

Fast forward a few years, let’s say you’ve earned a decent income, and can finally own a car comfortably. 

In that case, if you haven’t driven in years, it’s your responsibility to make sure that you know how to drive on the roads safely. The lives of your passengers are in your hands.

Many returning drivers would choose to take driving refresher lessons just to play safe, but of course, it's entirely up to you.
