... Read moreIf you're wondering how to apply for the International Driving Permit (IDP) in Singapore, the process is quite straightforward. Based on my experience, the first step is to ensure you hold a valid Singapore driving licence. You can then apply for the IDP either online through the official Singapore Road Traffic Police website or by visiting authorized customer service centers. The IDP allows you to drive legally in many countries, so it's essential if you’re planning international travel or self-driving tours. Make sure to carry both your Singapore driving licence and the IDP when driving abroad. Also, remember the IDP is usually valid for one year, so check the expiry and renew it if needed. The application fee is reasonable, and once processed, you can start using your international driving licence for overseas trips. Don't forget to prepare necessary documents like your identification card, passport-sized photo, and the application form. I recommend checking the latest requirements and approved issuing bodies to avoid delays. Using the IDP made my recent holiday driving experience much smoother, and I highly suggest getting it before you travel. It's a small step that offers peace of mind and legal peace of mind on the road abroad.

Driving instructors you should AVOID
Today is a happy day because I passed my TP test! 🥳 Although it took me two tries, I felt significantly less stress for the second time since I knew what to expect. The main motivation for me to pass it once and for all is because I am tired of camping for classes and meeting driving instructor

is having a car license @ 18 REALLY necessary?? SPEND 4K???? ACCIDENT????
Short answer: no. If you’re a student like me working part-time, I’ve realised that getting my license was not only expensive, but I also don’t use it as much as I expected. Of course, if you’re adventurous and not lazy, go for it! I just learned things the hard way. I spent about $4,000 — ye
