Car and Driving:
Driving a Car and Riding a Motorcycle in Singapore
General Information
Driving in Singapore and owning a car is very expensive. If you are not supplied with a company car you will probably opt for using public transport instead. Generally you do not need a car to survive in Singapore as the public transport system is a dream compared to other Asian countries and taxis are easily available. You need to take a theory test after driving in Singapore for 12 months without a Singaporean license. Note: drivers not used to driving on the left hand side should be extremely careful when driving in Singapore. More info on the license see below!
