You have decided to take control of the car and drive all by yourself in Singapore. With a few driving lessons and tests, you will be able to get yourself a driver\u2019s license and cruise along the streets of the Lion City.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The process of getting a driving license in Singapore involves a lot of steps, but hey! These precautions keep the roads safe, right? In this<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.sg\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Pacific Prime Singapore<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> article, we will go over the step-by-step process of getting a driver\u2019s license in Singapore.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Step 1: The Driving Theory Test<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Theory always comes before practical exams. To get started, you will need to register and study for the Basic Theory Test (BTT). The theory test examines your road rules and sign knowledge even before you start your driving lessons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, there are a few good resources, such as the Basic Theory Test book and the Highway Code, that can get you up to speed with all the road rules. Keep in mind that this is a lot of information to remember, so take your time studying and memorizing all the different road signs and rules.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you feel confident about passing the test, go ahead and register for the BTT. The test costs SGD $6.50. Note that there will be a registration fee, which varies from one center to another.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are three driving test centers across Singapore where you can take the test:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ssdcl.com.sg\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Singapore Safety Driving Center <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(SSDC)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/info.bbdc.sg\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bukit Batok Driving <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Center (BBDC)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.com.sg\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ComfortDelGro Driving Center <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(CDC)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you have settled on a driving school, you can schedule your lesson by picking a time and date from those presented on their website. Remember that availability changes rapidly, so scheduling ahead of time is essential.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the appointed day, you must present your valid government-issued photo identification (such as a driver&#8217;s license or passport) and payment receipts at the driving center. Upon passing the BTT, you\u2019ll receive a provisional result.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Step 2: The Provisional Driving License<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you are aware of all the rules and have a PDL \u2013 you are officially allowed to take control of the wheels under a driving instructor\u2019s supervision. Generally speaking, you have two options for taking your driving classes in Singapore\u2014a driving school or a private driving instructor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do you choose between a driving school or a private instructor in Singapore?

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Driving schools in Singapore will cost you more compared to a private instructor. However, driving schools are established institutions, whereas a good private instructor is hard to find. So, weigh your pros and cons thoroughly before taking your pick.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Step 4: The Final Theory Test<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, you read that right. You will have yet another theory test to take. You will be tested to see if you are fit to drive in Singapore and progress to the next steps in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The registration process and cost for the Final Theory Test (FTT) are the same as for the BTT. So, prepare yourself for one last theory test before you progress to the practical driving test.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Note that you have two years to complete your practical driving test from the date on which your PDL was approved.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Step 5: The Simulator Lesson<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are getting to the end\u2014just one more step before the final practical driving test. You are required to complete three mandatory modules of the simulator course.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have taken at least five practical driving lessons, you can enroll in simulator lessons at any one of the driving schools. Typically, you\u2019ll have to go through three simulator modules. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Step 6: The Practical Driving Test<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, we arrive at the most important step in getting a driver\u2019s license in Singapore \u2013 the Practical Driving Test (PDT). Your private instructor or driving school will inform you when you are ready to take the test. The test will cost you SGD $33.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your PDT will happen in two parts, and a traffic police appointed examiner will administer your driving test. The first part of the driving test is conducted on a circuit, and the second part of the test will be on public roads.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, the examinations are strict; a big mistake on the road may lead to a negative result immediately, whereas minor mistakes will be counted as penalty points.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, practice as much as you can before you take the practical driving test. If you don\u2019t clear the driving test the first time, you have the option to take two additional compulsory driving lessons and re-take the PDT at a later date.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, remember to secure insurance for yourself and your car, so you will be prepared for any unfortunate accidents on the road.
