    I was driving in nz for 3 years.. Same road rules with sydney lng. Pero here in sydney not driving much kasi walking distance lng to work and super near the city lng to bus. I like driving here compared sa pinas.. Hahahaha... Very easy to drive here only difference eh ung roundabout kasi wala sa atin yun and medyo nagkaka anxiety sa freeway or motorway pero u will get use to it din.

    Gps best friend ko driving here overseas better to have a mounted gps either built in as radio/ tv or mounted sa window. Bawal na kasi ung cellphone ka lng naka tingin. Pero we use 2.. We have a tomtom gps but if cloudy sometimes mahirap ang signal so we also use my hubby's galaxy note's gps then may mount kami we bought online. Hehehehe.

    My ate uses an iphone pero maliit ang iphone screen... Not ideal for bad eyesight's like mine specially when dapat glancing lang.

    Automatic is nice here specially long drives.

    Mahal magka ticket.. Naka try kami parking ticket before.

    Toll .. Maraming toll in sydney pero can pay online or buy ung tawag nila clicker then top up mu sya online then naka attach lng sa loob mg window.

    ako nag-2 hour driving lesson, masanay lang sa other side of the road. Buti na lang, yung 1 hour dun eh free at nakuha ko yung voucher sa grocery. Mahal yung driving lesson dito, $80 per hour. Automatic na rin kotse ko kinuha para wala nako iniisip masyado habang nag-aadjust sa road rules. Hindi naman ganun kahirap, just be aware lalo na pag mag-right turn.

    Other than that, masarap mag-drive dito, wag lang towards the city (lalo na sa Sydney).

    Lahat po ng tanong niyo masasagot sa
    http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/ for NSW
    http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/Home for Victoria
    http://www.transport.wa.gov.au/ for western australia
    http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/ for queensland.

    With regards to driving lessons it is around 60 AUD per hour na pwede umabot ng 54 AUD the more driving lessons you take from the trainer. When you take the actual driving exam, you need to provide your own car or need to borrow one for testing purposes. If you are interested in buying a 2nd hand car, yun medyo luma or maliit nasa 4k-7k AUD range and habang dumadami ang seating capacity, space or size ng car or mas later model nasa 8k AUD to as much as 17k AUD.

    kung driving lesson bili ka ng packages sa mga driving school like ~300aud for 10 hrs driving lesson. Gastos ka ng mga mga $1K+ plus dn including ung pagkuha ng learners permit (ID at exam may bayad) plus yung ung computerised na exam at actual drive test na parehong may bayad dn. D ka pwedeng kuha ng actual drive test pag bagsak ka sa computerised na exam , at ung driving lesson, based sa experience kulang ung 10hrs na package kung totally ndi k marunong mg-drive at start from 0... ..so if matututo ka mag drive sa SG and makakuha ka ng license mas makakatipid ka cguro.

    @packerx Thanks!

    @happyinmelbourne34 i-check ko din kung mas makakamura nga ako kung sa SG muna ako mag-driving lessons ang iniisip ko kasi since start talaga ako from 0, sa AU na din ako mag-driving lessons at least based na sa road rules nila ang ituturo.

    Nabasa ko po yung mga rules sa AUS and US. Pareho lang sila halos hehehe! Nakakaba yung RHD hehehhe!

    Salamat po sa mga tips.
    yup.. kaya nga ang US drivers license mo pwede na iconvert agad as AU driving license..
    astig.. drive na agad @PogingNoypi..

    Ang pinagkaiba lang right hand drive ang oz at halos may roundabout.

    Opo, sa RHD ako medyo kabado. Dami din po roundabout dito po sa States tapos pareho lang rules. Hehehehe! Yield yield lang hehehe.

    Salamat po ulit sa inyong lahat!
    Tama pwedeng i convert yung us license. Yan ginawa ko nung 2005 pinaconvert ko california license ko full license agad sa nsw. Madali lang namang mag adjust mga 1 oras na praktis lang eh sanay ka na sa rhd. Basta keep left palagi hehehe

    @nalooka..Dito sa WA, pag napasa mo ung computer test automatic bigyan ka kaagad nila ng learners ID. then let say after a week ng computer test mo, ngpa schedule ka kaagad ng practical test mo at pag napasa mo yan full license kna kaagad if u have more than 3 years experience in driving.

    Pg bumagsak ka, ok lg kasi as long valid pa ung DL mo from Pinas pwde pang magamit un at the same time my learners ID ka pa.

    Oo ganyan nangyari sa misis ko me phil license sya na more than 3 years. Learner muna after ng dkt tapos nung nakapasa sa practical binigyan ng full agad. Basta sabihin mo sa rta na me license ka sa pinas para alam nila. Maganda kasi sa full eh pwede ka mag drive ng turbo, v8 at mga high performance cars.

    computer test - $41
    Learner ID - $22
    driving test - $51
    full license - $52 for 1 year, $124 for 3 years, $166 for 5 years

    may nakausap akong isa pang pinoy instructor, pwede daw hindi muna ako kumuha ng learner pagnakapasa ako ng dkt para pwede akong magdrive pa ng solo. but make sure na magbook daw ako ng driving test within dun sa 3 months na allowed for PH license.
