Questions about motorcycle storage boxes and other things having nothing to do with driving. The good part was that I could take the test over and over again until I passed it! I think I took it 5 times before I somehow squeaked by. Many of the questions were repeated on each test, so I simply changed some of my answers about things I knew nothing about, just to get a chance to pass.... and that strategy worked! fricken mind-boggling. Whoever came up with those test questions needs to be fired yesterday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took the test at home and passed first time, I didn't need to take the test at the LTO office. I had to print the test result and take to the LTO office. That was about 2 years ago, don't know if things have changed since then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was a year ago more or less but I didn't look into the online version and just stuck to the one in the LTO office. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTO staff are smart enough to realize their odds of completing a real road test without an accident would not be the too good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them actually admitted that to me years ago. Knowing that 90% of the drivers here have never passed a practical written or driving test explains a lot. I have often thought that driving for me would be less stressful here if I didn't know how to drive before arriving. I could have just been issued a license like everyone else gone out into the wild until things felt normal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hk blues Posted July 3 Posted July 3 My wife and me went to pick up our plastic licence cards today. My wife got hers and when my name was called the staff said she'd mail mine out - she was holding it in her hand as she spoke yet said she couldn't release it to me as policy is all foreigner licences are mailed out. Even speaking to the Supervisor yielded no success. Another example of how broken some government departments here are. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum Support Tommy T. Posted July 4 Forum Support Posted July 4 I just checked with a local car dealer and they told me that plastic licenses are still not available in many LTO offices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
