If you pass the test, you take a Vision Test, also at the Registry. You should be able to do the test the same day (within the hour actually). Much of what you need to know is in a handbook that’s downloadable online. You go to a Registry (generally, an office that provides government services), where you can take an online test. More on that later let’s look at the process.įirst step, you need to pass a Knowledge Test. I would suggest you go to a driving school, even if you’ve driven for ages and feel you can pass any test thrown at you.

In Manila, while we have some concept of right of way and argue that right in case of accident, careful drivers will assume some crazy driver might dash through, and so we slow down at most intersections, our own interpretation of “defensive driving”. If you hesitate and slow down, you might cause an accident as the driver behind you assumes you will not slow down. You ASSUME all other drivers will respect your right of way. When you have the right of way, especially in a no-traffic-light intersection, you are NOT expected to slow down, even it what looks like a major intersection. Most unnerving are the rules on “right of way”. There are also different rules for “controlled intersections” and “uncontrolled intersections”, rules on stopping for school buses loading or unloading students, rules for uphill and downhill parking, and more. There are speed limits for different roads, for areas with construction, for passing emergency vehicles, and so on. In “school zones”, you must drive not more than 30 kph on school days. In “playground zones”, you must drive not more than 30 kph, and be on the look out of pedestrians. Actually, we should have more awareness in Manila about checking on blind spots, especially with the swerving culture encouraged by U-turn slots. Not doing shoulder-checks is a 31-year bad habit I acquired in Manila. Here, they emphasize the additional use of “shoulder checks”, to check on your “blind spot.” Actually, I have no quarrel with this, but this was my most likely point deduction in taking the road test. In Manila, we check our side and rear view mirrors when changing lanes. “Yield” is not a suggestion it means slow down, give way to pedestrians and traffic, and then proceed IF its safe to do so. “Stop” is not a suggestion it actually means stop, and count 2-3 seconds before you go, IF its “your turn”, and IF its safe to do so. Plus, there are Stop signs and Yield signs at many street corners. In Manila during wee hours in the morning, drivers begin to consider traffic lights as “suggestions”, and would cross on a solid red “if it’s safe to do so”. Sounds good, except that if you do that in Manila, with its continuous stream of pedestrians and with pedestrians dashing through seven lane highways, you’ll end up stopping often and possibly getting into rear-ended every day. When a person crosses a road, or even looks like he intends to cross a road, you have to stop and give away … and you remain stopped until the pedestrian has safely reached the curb on the other side. In winter time, the road conditions with snow and ice, are different.įor example, in Canada, pedestrians have priority.Bad driving habits acquired under Manila’s traffic rules and road assumptions, are difficult to break.The assumptions on how these rules are followed by other drivers on the road, are different.Being “skillful” and “careful” in Manila traffic mean little in Canada, for four reasons : Still, for me, the answer was clearly a NO. I drove in Manila for 31 years, and consider myself an extraordinarily careful driver. The more relevant question is this: “can I drive in Canada without getting into an accident, without causing an accident, and without getting fined for traffic violations ?” We’ve established you are allowed to drive for 90 days. Still, whether or not your Philippine license allows you to drive is beside the point. You may be ALLOWED to drive, but CAN you drive SAFELY? “Can I drive using my Philippine driver’s license?” If you have a valid Philippine driver’s license, yes, you can drive in Canada for 90 days after landing. I was wrong.īut that’s going ahead of myself. From what I’ve seen and heard since arriving in Alberta, that’s also what many Filipinos think when they arrive in Canada. You’ve been driving for ages in the Philippines, and you believe you can easily drive in Canada, right? If you can drive in Manila, you can drive anywhere, right?
