Hi everyone,

Please click the link below to learn "Defensive Driving" in Australia. These videos were put out to the audiences to learn some more on road safety skills. These films are quite old (Late 70s), but remarkably valid today, as much of, if not everything, you see here, is valid today. This is also a good reminder for us, so called, "pros".

Sa mga kukuha pa lang ng Australian Driving License malamang ito lahat kasama sa Driving Test. Kaya enjoy, i-practice at i-memorize. Goodluck and Cheers! :D

    I just failed the driving exam last Saturday. I faithfully avoided all the immediate fail items pero dahil hindi ako OA sa pagtingin kaya ako bumagsak. I got 88/100 so 2 points away from a 90 passing score. Therefore illegally driving na ako sa australia until my next exam. Wag niyo po ako gagayahin at personal choice ko ito given the situation at hand.

    I passed the driving exam the 2nd time. Gusto ko lang magtanong sa ibang NSW drivers na bumagsak the first time. Nun pinasa niyo actual driving test and you have been driving for more than 3 years on your philippine license, binigyan ka directly ng full license?

    I was under the impression kasi pag bumagsak ka magkakaron ka ng learner license (which they gave me) and you would need to pass all the stages P1/P2 and the necessary exams before ka magka full license. Kasi according sa ibang forums it took them 3 years to get their full license kasi exempted na sa NSW sa learner's logbook so hindi mo na kelangan fulfill requirement to be on learner's license for 1 year.

    Baka gumana dasal ko hehe. May glitches rin pala systema nila dito hindi tulad sa Singapore na bantay lahat ng bagay.

    @packerx na kuha mo Full ba? kasi may isang chance lang daw para maging full. kung bumagsak daw learners na to P1. No need na for logbook if more than 25 years na ung age.

    @hec Yes full license po nakuha ko

    @jaero Ganyan rin experience ko pero iba nakasulat sa RTA website. Baka nagbago na rules at hindi lang nila na update ang website kasi ang babagal gumalaw mga tao dito

    Sa RTA Hornsby po ako nakakuha ng lisensya. Hindi na nila ako hiningan ng proof na matagal na akong driver as long as over 30 years old ka sure sila na more than 10 years driving experience ka na kasi dito 16 years old pa lang nagsisimula na sila mag drive. Regarding sa mga may pinas driving license, wala naman kaso na kaka renew mo lang sa kanya at sa pinas naman siya valid hindi sa australia (except iyun first 3 o 6 months of stay mo depending on state)

    Over 30 years old na po ako but I was driving for more than 10 years in the philippines. So baka may prerogative kaya yun RTA to exempt you from the process kasi dumiretso na ako to full license after learners?
