    I remember someone posted a sample exam here on which car goes first in an intersection, 4 cars yun and I did not get everything correct. Also, some of the road signs are difficult to understand, though I never saw those in the PH.

    I do park in reverse using side mirrors only. How else should it be? Mukhang babagsak na talaga ako



    Yes IL. The insurance is yearly? Is it expensive? I feel nervous to drive in wide expressways, that road near UP which is very wide, I can't even drive there

    Wearing seatbelt is automatic/like a reflex to me, so no issue with that
    Study the DMV manual and it will be easy. Everything in the exams is written there. Make sure to know the road signs as a big part of the test is identifying road signs.

    If you don't have a valid license, you will ask someone to drive you to the test center. Since I had my RP license, I just drove to the test center to take my road test.

    Since you will be going to a state with snow (December to March), start reading or watch videos on how to drive in snowy and icy conditions. Wet snow, dry snow, and ice create different conditions so be warned. Wet snow is like driving thru wet sand. Dry snow will stick to tires and you can lose traction, then you will just roll/slide like a snowball. Black ice is even more treacherous, it's like driving thru glass. During fall/autumn, expect lots of rainfall and puddles of water can fill the road. If you're not careful, you might find yourself hydroplaning.

    Babagsak ka lang sa written test kung di mo intindihin yung DMV manual. Babagsak ka sa road test kung mag drive ka parang Pinoy dito sa Metro Manila.

    multiple choice naman. the answer is there. photographic memory helps.


    in the actual driving, never make the examiner feel unsafe.

    Just follow the rules and avoid acting like a sovereign citizen, remember you are driving not travelling.

    Written exam is knowing and understanding the traffic signs and rules and their associated common sense....

    Practical exam - do not forget to use the signal light and change lane fast when clear,- don't do it slowly, please... hehehe

    Merging - floor the accelerator and reach the recommended freeway speed as soon as possible (no overspeeding though)- yahoo!!!

    Follow the traffic speed... - there's a thing there called obstruction of traffic....

    Three point turn... sisiw.....

    Stop sign,- it means full stop,- not the infamous CA rolling stop...

    4-way intersection - who arrived first, common sense and simple courtesy....

    Pedestrians and School Buses are road kings!

    Not only the Stop sign but make sure to slow down or stop on Yield signs.

    On intersections with the traffic light switched already to intermittent (flashing red), make sure to do a complete stop before crossing. Most cities/counties have infrared cameras to take pictures of erring motorists.

    Do not stop on a train track and do not attempt to cross on flashing red signal at a train intersection.

    Never, never speed up over the limit on a school zone (25 mph).

    Do not obstruct or switch lane in front of a bus. It is a costly $80 ticket in IL.

    Welcome back Cathy!

    If I may just share my experience just to set the expectation ng ibang makakabasa, when I applied for non pro sa LTO East Ave actually nahirapan ako sa written exam akala ko di ako papasa. Tricky kasi yung ibang tanong, almost similar yung mga multiple choice may binabago lang na konting word. Tapos non pro yung inaapplayan ko pero yung exam may kasamang pang professional and motorcycle. But I think if one really reviewed for it makakapasa naman. Sa batch ko, isang room kami nag exam almost 1/5 lang yung tinawag for driving test, kalahati pa nun mc naman ang idadrive. Madali lang driving test kasi wala naman deduction if bagalan mo pero you have to execute a reverse parking sa huli.

    Good luck kaya mo yan! [emoji4]
