 |
|
I want to get my Korean driver's license, but my Canadian one is expired.
I now have to go through all the motions of getting a new license, which includes the necessary 10 hours at a driving academy.
Anyone know of one that teaches in English?
thanks in advance.

I got my license a year ago, and the 10 hour thing was only practice with another properly licensed driver. My GF at the time signed off on it and I was back in 3 days to take the test.
Has that changed? |

not sure....but none of my Korean friends drive and I'm pretty sure my boyfriend wouldn't appreciate me hooking up with a Korean girlfriend just to get free driving lessons.
Are there any other options? |

| I think they run something through NASCAR for the taxi drivers. Civilian drivers must go through special driver/texting/tv watching classes |

| Why don't you just get your folks to renew your Canadian license and send it to you. My dad renewed mine without me being there. I just had to sign it when I got it. |

| Well, if you're done beating up homeless people with a tire iron you should give it a whirl. |

I would, but it expired a while back, and my parents have since moved to a different province.
Not sure that option would still work.  |

I can read it. I can understand a bit of it...but not sure, while in motion in a fast moving vehicle, that I'll be able to understand everything that a Korean instructor is saying to me. |
