    @tontoronsky dati ka na bang nagdadrive sa Phils or SG?

    nakakakaba nga yata.... ditto sa Dubai naka ilang exam din ako bago ko nakuha yung license ko... worth it lang kasi 10years valid naman sya... lagi ako sumasablay sa round abouts. mura lang ba ang exam? ditto kasi, everytime na babagsak ka sa road test, required magtake ulet ng 8 lessons sa driving kaya sobrang gastos. sana naman dyan hindi.

    i failed my driving assessment.. :( hay, sobrang nakaka-down talaga. i had to activate my L permit tuloy and schedule more road practice.

    @jvframos… madali lang ang roundabouts dito, maliliit lang. nag-adjust ako ng sobra sa indicators. i keep turning the wiper on. hehe.

    i was miserable sa pag-turn left/right sa crossings na i-stop ka muna sa gitna, then wait for that moment na pwede ka ng mag-pass through. yun ang mistake ko during my assessment. ewan ko kung ako lang, pero na-we-weirdohan talaga ako. siguro dahil hindi naman ako nakapag-drive sa pinas at non-existent ang ganitong way sa UAE driving.

    @cind3r3lla, matagal ka ba nagdriving ditto sa UAE? nung nagaaral pa lang ako ng driving eh sablay ako talaga sa round about pero ngayon medyo comfortable na ko... ang di ko maimagine eh yung sinasabi mo na sa pag-turn left/right sa crossings eh i-stop ka muna sa gitna, then wait for that moment na pwede ka ng mag-pass through.

    parang wala ditto nun.... may mga round abouts ditto na may signal sa gitna pero signal sya... so madaling mag Go pag kayo na yung green. kakaloka naman yun.

    I failed my practical test here in SG. Hindi ko din matanggap yung mistakes ko! masakit dun kasi dahil sa violation na worth 8 demerit points, bumagsak ako. Hindi na ako makaka-retake kasi yung next schedule ng test ay July 29 na. Flight na namin ng July 1. Ang mahal pa naman pag sa school ka nag enroll dito. haay

    kaya i'm planning to buy a second hand car in Melbourne pagdating then practice practice para makapag take agad ng actual driving test after passing the theory test.

    ang tanung, is 5k to 10K worth of 2nd hand car in oz, ok ba sya as practice car? parang konti nalang kasi dagdag pwede na brandnew.

    @rooroo i bought a 93 lancer, 2.5K na mileage. $3000 pero natawaran ko ng $2500. Wala pa kasi trabaho kaya tyaga muna hehe. Well maintained naman ang oto di halatang luma haha.
    kelangan ko ba muna dalhin sa mga service centre at ipacheck before ko bilhin. wala kasi talaga ako alam pagdating sa maintenance ng kotse haha

    matagal na rin ako ng ddrive sa pinas. pero legally, nung nakuha ko non pro, 7 years na.

    yup mas maganda jan kna sa pinas mag enroll. pero kung may budget ka, maganda rin kung dito ka magaaral mgdrive, kc matutunan mo agad mga rules dto at hindi mo na makukuha mga bad habits ng pinoy drivers. hehe

    @johnvangie I agree with @tontoronsky. Zero driving knowledge din ako but I opted to learn how to drive dito sa australia. Naisip ko kse right hand drive dito and since wala akong driving knowledge eh mas maganda matuto ako kung san ako magdridrive at least hindi ko na kelangan magadjust and less na malilito ako.

    nung first driving class ko eh pinagdrive na ko ng instructor hahaha kinabahan ako dun pero dun ka matututo eh besides ihehelp ka pa rin naman nila magsteer and meron sila sariling brake sa side nila :)

    @tontoronsky, @muffles127 , thanks very much sa suggestion. Actually ayaw ko nga din sa idea na pwede kumuha ng nonpro license dito kahit walang testdrive, nakaka frustrate lang lalo sa sistema ng gobyerno natin. Si hubby ang gusto matuto na ako dito para daw ako na ang driver nya hehehe. Thanks again.

    @johnvangie guilty po kami dyan, dahil 2 months nalang paalis na kami, nagpatulong kami sa fixer makakuha ng non-pro without driving lesson. 1 month before kumuha muna kami ng students permit. Pagdating dito saka kami nag-driving lesson. Ngayon po ginagamit ko ang 3 months driving allowance para magpraktis bago ako mag-theory at practical test to convert sa local licence.

    @tartakobsky tama, kahit favorable sa atin na madali makakuha ng license basta may lagay lang... Kaso parang tino tolerate ko ang mga maling sistema dito... Nag usap kami ni hubby kanina, sinabi ko na sabi nga dito sa forum, yun suggestion nyo is dyan na ako mag-aral, agree naman sya. Tsaka stressful kasi dito mag drive, dami sumisingit na motor :-( Baka magkarecord pa ako dito bago umalis dahil sa mga walang disiplinang Pinoy driver.
