Kapag ang pasenger nagpumilit na hwag mag seat belt ay hwag mong pasakayin kasi yun ang rules. Mas lalong bawal mag drive ng lasing. lahat ang negligence ay nasa Driver at hindi sa pasengers.

I got confused kc sa sinabi ng tga RTA. I posted it in another topic but copy/paste ko lng din dito. Hope u or any1 here can share what they know. Salamat.
"Hi guys.
Share lng ako sa experience ko here in Sydney. I took my DKT this morning, sa Hurstville branch, after passing the exam, sinabihan ako na I have 2 options as follows:
Option1: get a Learners license and pay the necessary fee. I cannot use my PH license anymore. Then book a driving test when I feel ready.
Option 2: continue to use my PH license, and book for a driving test when I feel ready. (I asked if I should book the driving test within the 3-month period, sabi nya anytime lang daw when I feel ready)
Note that sabi nya if I pass the driving test, I will be issued a full license since my PH license is more than 3 y.o.
Syempre I chose option 2, save pa ako. And I asked if pwede hingi ng receipt of some sort na nakapasa na ako sa DKT, sabi nya no need na dw, it is already in their system.
But then reading the posts here and the info in their website, parang wala tong ganito eh. Parang too good to be true.
I also have a friend sa Adelaide similar case kami, but dapat lng within 1 yr makakuha at makapasa na sya ng Driving test to be issued the full license at meron pa xa print out ng certificate ng DKT nya in case hanapan sya. Iba nmn rules every state so I can't take this as a reference.
I just want to check if someone here had the same case? Baka kasi na misinterpret ko xa, baka hindi kami nagka intindihan. I was planning to take the driving test later na pag meron na work bt baka dapat within 3months lng pala :-("

489 visa lang po kasi ako, relative sponsored, more than 5 years po akong nagdrive sa pinas, kaso lang expiring na yung non-pro license ko this July. Gusto ko po sanang mag apply ng driver's license dito, pero based dun sa Queensland transport website, yung mga PR visa lang ang pwedeng makakuha. Yung mga gusto ko po kasing applyan na trabaho required ang driver's license kaya medyo necessity sya.
Any thoughts? Salamat!

Expiring na yung Ph license ko this July so eto daw yung possible scenarios:
1. While Ph license is valid - apply for Learners, take the written exam, take the practical test, then full license agad. Icoconvert lang daw yung Ph license ko to here, same class, same restrictions
OR
2. When Ph license is expired - will start from L, P1, P2 then full license. In short, start from scratch.
Saka mas mahal pag yung option 2, sa option 1 kasi ang nabanggit nya lang na fee ay $20 for the written exam then $40 para sa practical test and open license.
So there, sana po makatulong din sa mga kagaya kong may temporary visa.
Cheers!

hindi naman po ako tinanong ng agent ilang taon na yung ph license ko, ask nya lang 'do you have a current driver's license issued in other state or country?', wala rin po syang nabanggit na 3 years requirement. I think if you can drop them a call mas ok po, medyo matagal lang po waiting time bago kayo makausap ng agent, parang 15mins akong naghintay kahapon.

Yes you start from scratch
If you passed the theory and practical exam then your driving history matters
