Brings back a deja vu moment, teaching my wife to drive in the States some 34 years ago. Today, she is her own boss! There is nothing better than giving them their independence.
I had the same pleasure teaching my sister-in-law to drive a Baja we purchased for her. She is now able to bring her childeren to school. The whole process only took 6 short years off of my life.
Great to see you again. I am a long time subscriber and you inspired me to explore and create my own channel. Keep making videos i love watching your family grow. I hope to retire in Bohol soon.
Hand position at ‘10’ and ‘2’ was the suggestion before the advent of airbag in the steering wheel. Now with airbag in the steering wheel, the hands placement should be at ‘9’ and ‘3’. This is so in the advent of a crash, the arms/hands aren’t in the way of the steering wheel airbag and possibly causing more injuries to the driver. (Per the NHSTA)
I just went through this with my wife. Sent her to a driving school in Subic. The first thing they did was take her on the worst winding road around with lots of traffic 😂. Trial by fire
They often say don't try teaching family how to drive but what you were doing is fine, it's of course up to the individual as to how they learn and how you teach, there are those that create lots of stress, to the learner and themselves and they should therefore dig into their pockets and pay for a driving school fees❤😂😂
Seen you and the family at the resort in Sipilay, i was with my wife and kids and didn't want to bother you on a holiday. Been aa follower for sometime now
Hi buddy so glad to see you and your lovely bride! You both sound happy! I’m glad you and your family are well. Your lil girlies are growing fast and are so cute!! Take care buddy be safe, God bless you and your family! One question buddy have you gotten your Philippine citizenship yet? I was thinking about it for when my wife retires and we move back. Thanks buddy!!
Hi Ned, Nice video. I was hoping to get more information from you on what full coverage car insurance you use. I’m new to all this here in Dumaguete and I’m also teaching my Girlfriend to drive my car. I didn’t know we could use Russi field. Thanks in advance for help with car insurance. Adam
Look at her arms, she is too close to the steering wheel. Airbag deployment statistic for smaller women is devastating everywhere, especially in USA. Good luck.
I saw a father dress up like a crash test dummy when he was teaching his daughter to drive. Haha I knew how he felt….. but the daughter didn’t think it was funny..
Oh my my brother I'm in the same situation my girl got her permit but every time I try to teach her to drive she wants to wear off in the oncoming Lane I'm so stressed over it but on the other hand tired of taking her back and forth to work she just has a short drive to the countryside and back and forth to work guess I'm just going to have to get it done😂
My heart is sometimes in it. YT (and most other 'social' media) has turned into either a AI-driven pandering click/monetization drive or a total shite-show (thanks Tik-Tok).That and the fact that foreigners have no constitutionally protected freedom of speech in the Philippines (so we can't talk about the 'bad') factored into the stepback from YT.

Haven't seen you in a while! Glad I found you again 😊
Glad we were found.
Hehe Very good. It’s a huge sense of an accomplishment for any new driver! 💪😊

9 and 3?
@@bonehead1170 yes. Don’t know why I mistakenly said ‘6’ instead of ‘3’. My mistake (thanks for pointing that out)
Corrected my OP
@@abinder3 Yeah, I don't usually run around correcting social media posts, but I figured you wouldn't mind. We all can use a little help somedays. ✌
@@bonehead1170 no problem. I meant ‘9’ and ‘3’ but for some stupid reason I said ‘6’. 😁
Ned, you're a good teacher. I think Chichay got this too.
She is blessed with every moment of my super-patient presence. (Gag...)
Ooh! We love you, Ned!😊
I just went through this with my wife. Sent her to a driving school in Subic. The first thing they did was take her on the worst winding road around with lots of traffic 😂. Trial by fire
That's how my cousins taught me to downhill ski - straight to the top of the mountain!
Taught my Pinoy wife to drive 9 years ago in California! Her friends also gave her lessons. Practice, practice. You can do it!
Hello again guys! You did good dai! Daghang Salamat sa sharing. bag-ong higala... Best regards! Amping permi po/Ned 👏🎉👏
Hi guy's great Day
Ned, you're a good teacher! Show Chichay how to do donuts and figure eights and then maybe a little drifting.😊
Next lesson.
Chichay looks amazing as always. She sits close to the steering wheel. Happy Father's day.
Yeah, if the airbag deployed, she'd be in the back seat.

Wow i havent seen you 2 for years great to see you.
I also have a southeast Asian wife . A key safety factor is no cell phone while driving. Totaled three cars due to this same mistake in 20 years.
That's OK. Folks here reguarly drive around on scooters or in cars chatting on their cellphones.
@@PhilippineDreams Sure it's all fun and games till somebody gets hurt.

Ah, thanks for that. Yeah, traveling with our insane one year old was kinda rough. But it was a really nice sunset! (As nearly always).
Good luck with that. Bought my wife the driving course as a birthday gift, I wouldn't have the patience to teach her myself.
Good luck Ned, just remember to be patient with the mother of your children (you are out numbered in that house too).
Yeah, our 1 year old is very high maintenance. Keeping her from falling down the stairs or licking electrical outlets is a full time job for us all.
Hi buddy so glad to see you and your lovely bride! You both sound happy! I’m glad you and your family are well. Your lil girlies are growing fast and are so cute!! Take care buddy be safe, God bless you and your family! One question buddy have you gotten your Philippine citizenship yet? I was thinking about it for when my wife retires and we move back. Thanks buddy!!
Thanks, and I would never get Philippine citizenship.
My wife sits on a pillow, it definitely helps with the view.
The problem is, I got short legs. I can't reach the pedal if I put the seat higher. Lol.
My father refused to teach any of us kids. However, he would teach others. He felt like he might lose his patience with us.
Ned, where exactly is this place? I'm in Bacong and looking for a good place to teach my wife.
Across the street from Dunaguete ACE hospital.
OMG!!! I am teaching Jhanna how to drive. At least you have a field to do it in. We went straight out into traffic. 🤣🤣🤣
AaaiiiiI! Duma is too congested and crazy for street lessons at this point.
Hi Ned,
Nice video.
I was hoping to get more information from you on what full coverage car insurance you use.
I’m new to all this here in Dumaguete and I’m also teaching my Girlfriend to drive my car.
I didn’t know we could use Russi field.
Thanks in advance for help with car insurance.
Adam
We use Standard Insurance Co. It is about 350 USD for 18,000 in coverage. HIGHLY advise getting a good front/back dashcam.
I haven't seen your channel in a long time Ned keep your hand on the emergency brake just in case 😊
Chichay did great. :)
Bro I'm teaching my wife too and it's terrifying! Lord help me!😅👎🏾
Well at least the car didn't go Chichay chong up in smoke!
It's for medicinal use, I swear!!
Look at her arms, she is too close to the steering wheel. Airbag deployment statistic for smaller women is devastating everywhere, especially in USA. Good luck.

Happy Father's Day
Good Luck
Same to you!
I bet she will be driving soon, without her license like every other Filipino 😂
Teaching Chi-Chi to drive! You'll pull your hair out! (Oop's Too Late!)
Waaaay too late.
Hi Ned Chichay
Chichay can sing better then she can drive at moment but sure she get better with you teaching her Ned
If she gets any closer to that steering wheel 😂
Physically impossible!
Oh my my brother I'm in the same situation my girl got her permit but every time I try to teach her to drive she wants to wear off in the oncoming Lane I'm so stressed over it but on the other hand tired of taking her back and forth to work she just has a short drive to the countryside and back and forth to work guess I'm just going to have to get it done😂
Chichay gonna drive you crazy :)
Ned: did your imaginary brake work on the passenger side?
Haha, no, but I was ready to shift into neutral in case she panicked and got buck fever on the accelerator.
Good to see you again i miss your videos but i feel your heart is no longer in it. lol

@@PhilippineDreams TH-cam is just gambling with one's time, algo AI...largely a waste of time.
Just taught my 13 year old daughter the same way.
In USA
Hello, does your wife still teach English online?
It would be hard to teach someone with no eye hand foot coordination, which the Army test you before driving any vehicle.
Remember what happened in Saudi Arabia. Teaching them to drive was the beginning of their "independence."
Oh, she (and nearly every other Filipina) was quite independent before we got married.
Being English I can only drive a manual not an automatic, seems strange to watch all this put it into drive and release the brake.
🫰🏻
When will my wife want to learn to drive....hmmmmm
I am sure she will let you know.
