  International way, 7mths, 6 of which must be spent in that country.
  
  Most nations don't have a long waiting list like SG for the final test. In Australia, you can get a test slot within weeks.

  I find it weird why nowadays SOME youngsters want to rush in getting their driving license? If they know how to drive safely, it's ok but not all know how to. My personal impression is that they want to get a license ASAP so that they can “cheong” with their friends . (Always citing the excuses it’s for convenience purpose) Frankly speaking, I seriously doubt what they said. I feel it's more for showing off purpose. A lot of incidents involved new drivers . Of course by saying this, I'm not trying to condemn those who just passed. However, a recent survey showed that majority of the road accidents involved “newly graduated” drivers.
  
  Ok Mr. Pea , I think I might be able to tell you why the whole process took quite some times. ThereÂ’s pretty much things to learn about car. From teaching you how to change the wheel, check the engine oil, how to drive safely on the road, different kind of parking, E brake, handle emergency, situation, change lane etc etcÂ…A lot more to go.
  I do not know if you are aware of this but Mr. Pea, the Practical Test date are not issued by the school or instructors (private). Instead, the date are issued by TP= Traffic Police. Reasons? All the testers are from the Traffic Police department & work under the same department and have nothing to do with the school or whatsoever. They have to check the validity of the testers available to conduct the PT= Practical Test for the students. In short, thereÂ’s a shortage of testers which explain why some PT date can be far away.
  
  Hope this little information helps & I wish you good luck i.e., if you can get your driving license within 2mths time...
  
  When he/she are just so desperate in getting the license but do not understand/respect the importance of individual safety on road, I think he or she better don't learn driving, hands off the steering wheel!
  
  
  P/S: Why I can tell you this is because my friend is a TP and he explain it to me. Just for sharing.

  i thank you for the information provided and appreciate your kind advice.
  
  i'm not in a rush to get a license, but i have nothing to do between exams and enlistment. and i wish to get it over and done with. btw, the family car is an automatic so i've no intention to chiong.
  
  i'm not the type for EG9, tuned up lancers or imprezas anyway.

  go to Egypt.. where if you show that you can drive 15 metres forward, 15 metres backwards, and then reverse between 2 traffic cones, you pass..
  
  but then, please tell us all before driving in Singapore so we can get off the streets and behind concrete bollards..

  Its the same as when you're getting your I/C
  You feel that you've grown older, no longer a kid!

  if, u asking out of knowledge, then ok. if u are seeking advice in order to get ur license quickly, i advice u to just be patient.
  
  if u cant be patient enough during the learning stage, how patient can u be when u are behind the wheels?
  
  anyway, my 2 cents. u might already have ur card to drive.

  To be fair, some of us have driving experience abroad but we need to legalise this asap locally.
