Non-prof Driver's License

Yes, there is a medical - very brief, plus a urine (drug) test, but it's nothing to worry about. It took me the best part of a day to get my licence at Davao, including the written and practical tests, plus several hours sitting around waiting.

Just wondering why you didnt just get your Brit DL converted Peter..
It cost me 350 P and 3 hours to do it that way..

That's what I attempted to do, but was told that I still have to take both written and practical tests. Hence, I did both with only a few minutes warning and no preparation. I didn't even understand some of the questions in the written test.

Peter..

You have been mislead..
Most LTO offices have large posters outside the offices with the exact list of requirements.
Of course there is no written test as you are simply converting your Brit licence. All I needed was the drug test results and 350.00 Pesos..
In Cavite,the LTO wanted 3,500 Pesos and I politley advised them to stuff it..
The best thing I can think for you to do is print off the requirements from the LTO web site and educate the staff there by producing it..
Best of British luck!!
