Why you shouldn’t try to get a 10 year driving license!

Bottom line is the system is set up so strict as to fail foreigners presumably so they pay to try again. No Khmer are testing at the new out of town centre. A highly accomplished driver would be hard pushed to complete the parking manoeuvres in the narrow space provided. Moreover on the reverse parking you’d be unable to open your car door and the parallel parking hard pushed to get within 25cm of the curb. The stats including retakes were about 30% pass on the theory and 0% on the practical! If you go through a driving school, apparently $400 is the magic number. Conclusion don’t waste your money and stick with the 1 year license.

I've heard quite the contrary.

Did you bomb the driving test then?

Is it snowing where you are?

I disagree. My friend and I both passed easily on the first try... and I think it cost around $30, but may have been a bit more. There is an app that makes it really easy to study the question part of the test.

The cost is 50$ so I guess you did a while back. There is a new test center exclusively for foreigners.

Are you required to be within that 25cm immediately on the first turn, or are you allowed to go back and forth a couple of times?

Chinesetakeaway, you say there is a new test center exclusively for foreigners. Can you tell us more about it and where it is? Also is it for the driving tests of cars and motorcycle?

I was going to organise my 10 year license on this trip, but other things have interrupted plans.

I find it mildly amusing that such a standard is expected when the average local driver here can’t find the pavement or parking space without a baton waving maniac, and once they have found the pavement, park (I hesitate to say squarely) on it rather than close to it.

I predict that the new strict regime will soften once the numbers of applicants has dwindled sufficiently.
Worth avoiding for a while.
Thanks to OP for the heads up.
