Make sure to read the reviewer brochure of CA. Some of the questions are base on BAC, DUI, DWI which differs from states to states, also position of back and front tire when parking on downward and upward street, speed limit residential, commercial, school zone, when to used a low and high beam light, street/highway signs and so forth. Spend some time to review/read the test book brochure and you'll surely pass the written test...

Goodluck..

Make sure your car is working properly too, di pwedeng may kulang. Check nila yan. Also make sure exaggerate ka gumalaw kunyari tingin ka sa kaliwa when changing lanes, talagang tingin ka hindi lang lingon. May kasamang twist ng torso. Same with backing up talikod ka dapat di pwedeng sa rear view mirror ka lang titingin.

Goodluck!!

International Driving Permits

The State of California does not recognize an International Driving Permit (IDP) as a valid driver license. California does recognize a valid driver license that is issued by a foreign jurisdiction (country, state, territory) of which the license holder is a resident.

The IDP is only a translation of information contained on a person's foreign driver license and is not required to operate a motor vehicle in California. Citations issued to a person in California who has an IDP, but does not have a California driver license will be placed on the Department of Motor Vehicle database.

The IDP is also called an International Driver License, International License, etc.

For more information about travel and driver licensing requirements outside of the US, visit the US State Department Road Safety Overseas website at: http://travel.state.gov/road_safety.html

Di mo na kailangan mag-apply ng IDL sa Pilipinas kung sandali ka lang naman. Besides isang taon yan ibibigay IDL from Philippine Motors Association, PMA some states will still consider the Phils Ordinary Licence natin for 3 months. If you change lane, Shoulder Check ka (kunwari) pero it will help you to see the Blind Spot. Kaya mo iyan.
