How many would pass a driving test?

[Mile2]

I will pass, I have passed the actual Saudi driving licensing exam (LHD) and the Netherlands driving exam (RHD).

In Saudi Arabia, it is a given that Filipinos on the average will pass the actual driving exam at around 60% only. 40% would really fail because of failure to follow road signs and safety. The last part of Saudi exam was the parallel parking where most will not get it right, you miss one time, you fail. You fail you have to pay again for re examination and use of test car.

eto - i want a racing licence, paano makapasa? saan kukuha? yan gusto ko ma-experience.

sa lto: 59/60 ang mark na makukuha mo.. lower than that aanga-anga ka or sadyang mahiyain ka.

the 60th answer lies in front of you while waiting na pumasok kayo sa exam room. and hindi ito makikita sa malaking reviewer na nakapost dun, kung di sa paligid-ligid at medyo mataas.

When I took the exam, the questionaire have answers already and need to copy and write on the answer sheet...easy for me but actually I read the questionaire and not that hard and no drive test since they've seen me driving my car...

i passed the written and actual exams back in 1997... i would still pass if given the chance to take it nowadays.

[redorange]

I'd pass even with one hand tied behind my back.

Then you would fail. A true examiner will fail you for driving with one hand unless you are shifting gears. I know a couple of people that failed because they started driving with one hand only and the examiner told them to turn around and go back to the DMV.

Sana maging ganito rin LTO natin.

I've actually seen the testing compound. I really hope they modernize the testing grounds at LTO. Kaya daming drivers sa tin pag park lang di pa matino.

In other countries like Saudi Arabia, actual driving test has more weight in passing than written exam (70% actual - 30% written). On actual exam if you only look at the side mirrors when doing turns without doing additional head turn sight on the sides, you will fail. Driving test and license cost 500 Saudi riyals and it is really expensive.

Katwiran nila kung papatay ka lang ng ibang tao sa kalye mabuti pang huwag kang bigyan ng lisensya.

Just because you passed the written test doesn't mean you'll pass the practical driving exam.

And passing the LTO practical exam before doesn't mean you'd pass a properly administered practical exam.

I think papasa ako kasi may reviewer ako na binili sa national bookstore when i was there but wala na ako practical dahil wala daw available na car(that was in LTO caloocan),magbigay nalang daw ako ng 100, that time hapon na and pagod na ako sa sobrang init.seryoso talaga ako nong time na yun dahil i need my Pro License to get International permit to spain, Unfortunately 1 year valid lang yung permit so i decided to enroll in driving school here, but in english session...naka 7 takes ako before i pass the written exam tsk! tsk! ibang iba dito sa rules and scenario na binibigay sa exam. Pro 1 take lang ako sa practical hehehe!!!. dito kailangan pagbutihin dahil napakamahal ng every examination..nagastos ko 1,550 euros to get my license wheww!!! Sana ganito kahigpit LTO sa atin para all drivers are responsible.

Sorry mahaba kwento ko ahehehe!!!! just sharing.

[healthnut]

If the LTO were to actually require all drivers to undergo an honest-to-goodness road test (walang under the table, ha), what percentage of drivers would actually pass??

Would you pass??

Definitely would pass. I have taken practical driving tests in Saudi Arabia, Singapore and in China. Passed them all.

Except I failed the "mission impossible" parallel parking test when I applied for a license at LTO Cainta.

See my post about it. It was quite an experience

[picantorange]

Here in Dubai, they have begun implementing a very strict testing procedure so very few pass the road test. For every batch of four people, one or none passes the test. So that's a maximum of 25% of all who take the test. The examiners usually trick students into doing something that will somehow violate traffic laws, which in turn makes them fail the test. The key to passing the test is to know what and what not to do while driving.

Pero ang nakakatawa, pag nag-drive ka rito, ang babarubal pa rin ng mga drivers. Parang laging nagmamadali, parang laging may sakay na isusugod sa ospital, parang 100 million bajillion Zimbabwean dollars ang halaga ng isang minuto ng buhay nila.

Ang nangyayari, parang plastikan lang sa road test, tapos anything goes na lang pag nakakuha na ng license (na every 10 years ang renewal).

This does not answer your question, I know. Just to give you the idea that even a strict driving test won't lead to a safer bunch of people on the road.

[testament11]

dito kasi ang driving test sa atin, OT... kaya sisiw ang written exam!

ang tanong, yun bang sinasagutan nila sa exam eh na-aaply ba nila sa daily driving? i think iilan lang ang sasagot ng OO... reality check...

[wavecxs]

I was written a ticket in makati long time ago. I didn't contest, I unknowingly entered a one way street.

Nung kinuha ko sa mmda yun license ko, sabi I have to take the seminar daw. Pagdating sa seminar, sabi bigay na lang daw ng exam, yung di daw papasa e yun na lang magse seminar. When I saw the exam, it's the same as the written exam sa pagkuha ng license. I passed! But guess who failed the exam..... jeepney drivers and bus drivers

[Altis6453]

I guess the more appropriate question is how many of those who actually drive for a living (Bus, PUJ, Taxi, FX, Trucks) would pass a driver's exam.

Its just a guess but 20 out of a 100 examinees would be too high. Most would flunk the written exam and even more on the actual driving test.

you dont need reviewer what you need is a proper common sense

Question: Vehicle 1 coming from East bound to West, other vehicle coming from North going to South, Both meet at intersection, who is priority?

[MaxAJ]

I wont pass the exam cos the LTO in NCR are full of corrupt SOB employees.. They are full of it.. Specifically those driving tester or whatevers at Pasay branch

if the intersection is controlled by a traffic light then follow the traffic lights.. if the intersection is controlled by stop signs.. then first stop first go..
if its an uncontrolled intersection.. then the person on the right should yield the right of way to the person on the left..

[Landy]

Yes, Afterglow has very good point and really wonders how many would pass a proper driving exam.

And how everyone claims to be good and be able say they can "drive with one hand be his hide back" of whatever way to prove their ability, but bottom line is driving standard very poor...
