Heads Up of USA Drivers License

for those who are still in thee phils & just waiting for the development of their visa ..& also for others who just recently arrived here in US..

you might want to check this post regarding application of USA Drivers License..

SHAPE OF ROAD SIGNS?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

If you haven't experience driving before & you're not doing that much in the Phils, why not ask any of your friends (with car) to teach you how to drive automatic car.. or try to check some driving school out there ...in that way it will keep you a little busy or occupied with something. That might be a lesser cost instead of taking driving class here.. I saw some ad here & the fee is quite high..

i'm telling you its not that easy to have a license here.. ive been driving for 7 years but ahhh it took me 2 times to pass the exam

& driving is so important here...unless you'll be staying in Manhattan which is you can walk in the street with Sarah Jessica Parker ..hhhmmm i like that..

anyway, if the above link will not work..try this one..

What Jenny has done is take classes there in the PI first, and obtain a license there..now when she gets here....I will instruct her so that she can obtain her license here. Gotta have a car here in the US even though there are other alternatives.

My wife will have to get used to different driving here. I let her do all the driving around Manila but here it's interstate highways she's not used to and you can't just pull out expecting the the oncoming car is going to hit the brakes.....heck, they may be talking on the cell phone, shaving, putting on make-up, having breakfast or reading the newspaper and will never see you pulling out.

Ain't it the truth

But if she can drive in manila.. She should be able to adjust just about anywhere.

driving in phil is pretty much different "chaotic" in a way coz they wont follow any lines (based on my experience last nov in manila) gosh they make a 3 line street to a 6 line street. lol... i never had a license in phil so i started from scratch here and had a driver instructor $40/hr (8 hrs worth of on-the-road-lesson plus another 6 hrs on-the-road after i got my license coz my husband insisted to have another lesson regardless lol)... a friend of mine from michigan has a phil license and what she did was she just went to the dmv and present her license and they gave her a US license right away lol... not sure if its applicable to some states...

I agree with you. She's a good driver who can handle a 4 speed in Manila, so she won't have a steep learning curve to handle an automatic transmission car here. The biggest differences are going to be the interstate highways and the number of signal lights here

I refuse to drive in Manila unless there are at least 10 San Migs waiting for me at the end of the trip.....lol. We did have a good driving lesson last Feb. when I taught her about driving in the mountains on the was down from Bagiou to La Union. By the time we were half way down, she was having a good time.

I recomend sending your state DMV handbook so they can start reading. Learning isn't too bad; however, passing the exam to get an instructional permit maybe a bit more difficult. Plus you will need a permit just to practice driving here. Just an idea how to get a head start in the game.
