Apply international driving licence.. valid 1 year.. u kena caught or wat.. just give them the license.. and continue driving.. they will take away your international license..

2 Options:

1. If you are not staying beyond 90 days.. just fuck it. You still have your SG driving license. Just drive. Go back SG apply again.

2. If you stay long-term
Bribe them. If is local traffic police not LTO. Just ask them how much is the fine. If they tell you the amount.. gauge from there. If they tell you check on the website.. then you know they are legit (cannot be bribe).

3. If you stay long-term
Pay the fine at the office. Pretty fast now. Before pandemic it was at least 3hrs to pay the fine and take back license. Some people get fixers outside LTO to settle for them. Now post-pandemic.. 30mins.

(I got caught for speeding recently, that's how i know)

Re: Phillipines, Manila, Makati Happenings
 

LTO checkpoints, don't accept bribe, because they have target I think. Like the time the fellow stop me, check everything incuding spare tyre in my pajero, all good, finally fxxk me saying I was not wearing seat belt until I see the LTO bugger.

End up 1,300 something fine, but problem, no more 10 year renewal. Only 5 years if ada LTO violation,

Anyway, if staying on work pass or residency, not hard to convert. Better, because that's another useful Government identification

if you encounter educated Enforcer, like I kena 10 years or so ago, he don'rt respect the International license, take International and SG License !! if you see fine print, international license say must be accompany by original license,
