    As the good sir Egan mentioned, study the DMV manual cover to cover. You'll be fine.

    Punta ka muna subic to practice.
    Pag prinactice mo sa manila yang stop at intersection, bubusinahan ka lang ng todo.

    Roundabout also practice mo.

    I have driven in SG before when i was still there. For foreigners, theory test then convert to drivers license na. For locals, Theory test then Practical test.

    Biggest challenge was i had to drive on the left side. And the gear stick was on my left. Yep i had to drive a manual transmission car.

    Road signages where abundant and clear. I rarely use GPS since i knew the roads quite well.

    I heard the practical test done by the DMV in US is difficult to pass. Goodluck Cathy!

    Dami ko kilala sa US na hindi take 1 in getting a US license kaya kinakabahan ako. Yung sa Pilipinas kasi, walang bumabagsak, nakapaskil ba naman sa wall ng exam room ang sagot Practical exam wala man lang parking test.

    It's allowed but you still need your home counry's DL with you. Especially for those citizens from non English speaking country.

    Basically internetional license is just a translation for destisl of non english driver license.

    Wow. That's insane
    It makes sense. Illegals will drive regardless so it's better to be under the supervision of DMV

    Hehe.
    Officer: do you know you are allowed to drive in here... You'll be spending the night in jail. Hands in the air.

    ------
    In TX, nakapag drive narin ako and allowed.
    Kaso since US is federal, iba iba rules per state kaya nilinaw ko lang din.

    Hindi ba dapat deport if illegal Sa ibang bansa strict sa illegals.
