I failed my first two tests ... once on a 'trick junction'. The second time for lack of control when reversing round a corner on a steep downhill section - my Dad thought that he was being helpful by increasing the idle speed in order to minimise the risk of stalling, but it didn't help to control the speed in that maneouver.Originally Posted by USA
However, I passed on the next two times ... the most recent was here in Phils. I thought that I just had to go along to DTO, fill in some forms, and pay the fees, to convert my UK licence to a Filipino one. I learned that I had to take both a written and a practical test, which I did without any preparation. I didn't even understand some of the questions in the written test but I came away, at the end of that day, with a shiney new licence.
