Sabi nila mahirap daw pumasa kaya nagtake muna ko ng driving lessons. Para na din maexperience ko magdrive dito. May nadownload ako na file "Testing officer's manual" sa site ng rta http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/licensing/downloads/licensinghandbooks_dl1.html, parang nakalagay dun yung mga instant fail.
Hope you can share your driving test experience.
thanks!

After kailngan daw magtake ng Driving Test (Actual Test) para magkaron ka ng P1 Licence.
May friend ako sa Melbourne na nagtake pa ng Hazard Pecrception test (computer based ulit) para naman sa P2 License. Tapos Driver Qualification test para full licence.
May nabasa naman ako sa ibang forum and sabi din nung instructor ko na kung may licence ka sa pinas (not sure if Pro/Non Pro dapat), once na pumasa ka sa Driving Test, Full Licence agad yung ibibigay sayo.
Tomorrow punta ko sa RTA rockdale para confirm kung full license na ba talaga then update ko po kayo.
Thanks.

P1- less than 12 months
P2- more than 12 months but less than 3 years
Full - more than 3 years
Ang alam ko, allowed tayong magdrive gamit yung Philippine license sa loob ng 3 buwan na dumating sa OZ. Kaya kahit wala pang Learner License, pwedeng magdrive. Since immigrant visa ka, para maconvert yung Philippine License, kailangan magtake muna ng DKT and Driving Test (since wala yata yung pinas sa List nila ng country na exempted sa Driving Test). As per my experience kumuha muna ko ng Learner License para makapagpabook ako sa Driving test. Kung sa 3 months di pa rin pumapasa sa Driving test, yup Learner License ka pa din.
San po pala kayo dito sa Sydney?

Ang mga road na dadaanan mo usually 60kph (Princes highway, grand parade, bay street). Then mga quiet street where you'll ask to do the kerb side parking at reverse parallel parking. Ang pinaka importante mo malaman eh yung 40kph zone along bay street before the grand parade intersection. Lagi pinapadaanan daw yun kasi 40kph lang sya once lumampas ka kahit 41kph instant fail agad. Hindi sya school zone area pero 40kph sya. Buti na lang sinabihan ako dun ng driving instructor right before my exam. During my practice exam with instructor lagi ko nakakalimutan na 40kph area pala sya buti na lang sa actual exam naalala ko. :-)

Ang pagkakaalam ko, even if your more than 25 years old, you will still need to take the DKT exam to have a learner license. After passing the DKT exam, pwede ka ng magtake ng driving test to have a P1 license. Kung meron kang PH license (more than 3 years), at naipasa mo yung driving test, full license agad yung ibibigay sayo.
Pero kung below 25 years old ka, required yung 120 hours supervised driving at after 12 months ka pa pwedeng magtake ng driving exam. Yung step sa post ko is para dun sa walang driver license sa pinas.
