Bus/Lorry license = Class 4
Car license = Class 3
Class 4 not= Class 3 ? correct me if i'm wrong, but class 4 license isn't a "bao ka liao" license which allows the driver to drive a class 3 vehicle too. -
for those bendy bus its class 5. class 4 or 5 can drives class 3. you need to qualify for class 3 before you can pass 4 and 5

the concept of class is a bit misleading.Originally posted by silv3rgal:Bus/Lorry license = Class 4

'cos class implies superiority. -
what is bendy bus?Originally posted by paradox86:for those bendy bus its class 5. class 4 or 5 can drives class 3. you need to qualify for class 3 before you can pass 4 and 5
How about those SBS bus? -
military lisence convert to civilian 1 must drive for 7000km in a military vehilce then can convert..Originally posted by Icemoon:military one.
discrepancy most prob due to the fact tt military vehilce speed limit is 50km/h?!?!
and the training period is like 5 weeks only in which the person if he is attending class 4 course will be eligible to drive a class 4 vehicle too aka the 5 tonne...
though i know the final theory in military one is harder than outside 1.. cos is not mcq but is presented with a situation instead and u explain to the tester what to do ... and tp criteria more stringent.. eg. graze curb immediate failure -
ok i get it..... if it's a must to get 3 to proceed to class 4 and 5, of course, bus drivers are qualified to drive cars, i guess this clears the threadstarter's doubts.Originally posted by paradox86:for those bendy bus its class 5. class 4 or 5 can drives class 3. you need to qualify for class 3 before you can pass 4 and 5 -
if u got class 4, u can drive class 3, if u got class 5, u can drive everything except taxi and PZ bus(not really sure abt this) cos theres a 4A license too.Originally posted by silv3rgal:ok i get it..... if it's a must to get 3 to proceed to class 4 and 5, of course, bus drivers are qualified to drive cars, i guess this clears the threadstarter's doubts.

actually no.Originally posted by silv3rgal:ok i get it..... if it's a must to get 3 to proceed to class 4 and 5, of course, bus drivers are qualified to drive cars, i guess this clears the threadstarter's doubts.
my next question is, where do those bus drivers get their class 3 then? -
of cos they will go to either driving sch or private like we all do..Originally posted by Icemoon:actually no.

lets juz say that one of the prerequisite to becoming a bus driver is a class 3 civilian liscence.... which u get outside at private or schools...
-
why not?? i know lots of my friends are VIP drivers. they drove the mercs and the audi's and the various staff cars as well. and they went to the same course as every vocational drivers went. so i think.. all drivers are the same. except on how one drives the vehicles tats all.Originally posted by n0x:i know military drivers not equals to car drivers... -
so sad. those FTs who come be bus driver still need to fork out money to get class 3?Originally posted by n0x:lets juz say that one of the prerequisite to becoming a bus driver is a class 3 civilian liscence.... which u get outside at private or schools... -
wads worse is that Military testers are not qualified at all...see u like yr driving stlye pass u...dun like yr face or wad...puropsely fail u....etc...TP testers 2 me are fair and definitely more qualified....thats is one of the reasons the military license is not recgonised....any many military drivers i know are irresponsible....which is y the accident rates are high even if the vehs are limited to 50km/h.....sometimes i wonder Y SAF is so stupid...2 think tt remaining at 50km/h can lower accident rates...wayang @ssholesOriginally posted by n0x:military lisence convert to civilian 1 must drive for 7000km in a military vehilce then can convert..

Car = Class 3
14footer lorry - 24footer up till 10tons = Class 4
Cement mixer or lorry exceeding 10tons = Class 5
Bus = Class 4A or otherwise know as PZ licence
Taxi = Vocational Taxi licence
SBS allow those who are qualified class 3 drivers to take a course before letting them drive.
You must have class 3 with 12 points in your DIPS in order to enrol for class 4 and 5 at a TP counter beside Jurong swimming pool.
Container trailer without the rear part = class 4
*With container behind = A course in PSA (towing) -
skills maybe.... but in terms of recognition is diff... u show tp military license they still take it as driving without liscenceOriginally posted by mhcampboy:why not?? i know lots of my friends are VIP drivers. they drove the mercs and the audi's and the various staff cars as well. and they went to the same course as every vocational drivers went. so i think.. all drivers are the same. except on how one drives the vehicles tats all. -
frm what i heard it is TP tt limited saf vehicles speed limits and not saf themselves.... but i do agree tt they are tong tong chang kings ahahahOriginally posted by AE86tofu:wads worse is that Military testers are not qualified at all...see u like yr driving stlye pass u...dun like yr face or wad...puropsely fail u....etc...TP testers 2 me are fair and definitely more qualified....thats is one of the reasons the military license is not recgonised....any many military drivers i know are irresponsible....which is y the accident rates are high even if the vehs are limited to 50km/h.....sometimes i wonder Y SAF is so stupid...2 think tt remaining at 50km/h can lower accident rates...wayang @ssholes -
SBS drivers go thru their own drivers course and get class 4A...not class 4.
What I understand is that when they leave SBS or any of the public bus companies....their class 4A is no longer useful....they are not considered to have class 3 or class 4 licence.
anyway....having class 4 doesnt mean must be able to drive class 3...depends on the validity of the class 3...some people kenna suspension of class 3 but still can drive class 4 for work....
if U are talking about learning class 4....then yes...must have class 3 in order to learn class 4. -
Taxi and PZ is different from 4A.Originally posted by Ritz79:if u got class 4, u can drive class 3, if u got class 5, u can drive everything except taxi and PZ bus(not really sure abt this) cos theres a 4A license too. -
actually depends on people one....some SBS drivers also horrible....Originally posted by AE86tofu:any many military drivers i know are irresponsible....which is y the accident rates are high even if the vehs are limited to 50km/h

The prerequisite to apply for a Bus Captain job is a Class 3 license. After getting pass the HR stuff, need to go for course to get Class 4A.
