HOW TO GET YOUR DRIVING LICENSE IN MALAYSIA?
IMPORTANT: You can only use your overseas or international driving license for 3 months in Malaysia. Then you will need to get a Malaysian Driving License.
2. Take law test as known as Ujian Bahagian 1 Berkomputer.
The law test is conducted at approved sites such as MyEG Services and KOMMS. There are 2 choices of language; Bahasa Malaysia or English. The test is not difficult, it consists of 50 multiple choice questions of which you can only get 8 wrong. This test must be passed, if not you can not start the practical lessons. More to the point you have to sit the test again-a real waste of time.

The first 6-hour is Theory and Demo Class. After you finished the class, you will be given LDL (Learning Driving License) which entitle you to start the practical learning process. This is where the fun begins. Hope you like manual Kancils or Vivas. It’s not so bad. It teaches humility more than anything else. You are not only learn to drive but to park as well.

4. Take the driving tests.
There are 2 sections of practical test. One is on the open road, and the other is in the site circuit. Nervous? Don’t be. It’s simple. Just do as you did in practice, don’t be in a rush and everything will be fine. The car park test consists of performing a three point turn, a hill start (which can be a little tricky) and reverse parking. The open road is much more fun, just go for a drive, turn around and come back, again don’t be in a rush.
If you already have a driving license from your country then it is important to check with your embassy or us for the procedure on converting your driving license. You won’t have to surrender your other license but there will be some procedures to follow.
