From starting with an L license all the way to obtaining your CDL license, here\u2019s what you have to do.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Register for a driving course<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact the driving institute of your choice. The admin officer at the institute will explain the fees required to get a driving license, and the course structure, and help you schedule your first class.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Attend the KPP01 Theoretical Course<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The\u00a0 KPP01 is a theoretical classroom course that will teach you about road signs and laws, driving etiquette, defensive driving, and more. The class takes 6 hours on a single day. You are advised to dress neatly when attending this course.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3, Law Theory Computer Test\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After attending the KPP01 course, you need to sit for a law theory computer test which takes 45 minutes. The minimum passing score for this test is 42\/50. You\u2019ll need to sit for a repeat test if he\/she fails.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Collect Your L License<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Within a week after passing the computer test, you can collect your L (Learner Driving License) license. Oftentimes, you can also have your assigned instructor deliver it to you. With an L license, you can only <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">drive cars displaying the L plate owned by driving schools under the supervision of a driving school instructor.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Attend the KPP02 and KPP03 Practical Driving Course\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have obtained your L License, your driving instructor will coach you to drive on the course at the driving institute (KPP02) and on the road (KPP03). If you are applying for the D license (manual car), you will learn how to drive a manual car and how to change gears with a clutch. Alternatively, you can also opt for the DA class license (automatic car), where you will learn how to drive an automatic transmission vehicle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the driving instructor is confident that you are capable of completing the road test, they will schedule your test. Your driving test will include a slope test, a 3-point turn, reverse parking, parallel parking, and driving on the open road. If you\u2019re applying for a motorcycle license, you\u2019ll also have to attend the KPP02 and KPP03 classes on a dedicated motorcycle riding course.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Attend the JPJ Practical Test\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, you have to sit for the JPJ Practical Test. The test involves two stages \u2013 driving on the circuit while being observed by JPJ officers stationed at the test stations, and an on-the-road driving test accompanied by a JPJ officer in the passenger seat. If you pass the JPJ Practical Test, you will be eligible for a P driving license. Otherwise, you will have to re-sit the test.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7. Collect Your P License\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After you\u2019ve passed the practical test, you\u2019ll be awarded a P license (PDL). You\u2019ll need to drive with this license for two years before being able to upgrade it to a CDL or a \u2018full license\u2019. Just make sure you don\u2019t get into trouble and rack up demerit points or you\u2019ll risk losing your P license. If that happens you\u2019ll have to go through the whole process again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are no special rules for P license holders other than you also need to display the P sticker on the top left front windscreen and top right rear windscreen of your car. Once the two-year probationary period is over, you can upgrade to a CDL license at any JPJ office.<\/span><br \/>\n<a name=\"e\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>How Much Does a Driving License Cost in Malaysia?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cost of a driving license varies by state and location of the driving institute. However, the Licensing Committee of Driving Institutes (JKPIM) \u200b\u200bunder the management of JPJ has set the maximum amount for tuition and practical driving training fees for all driving institutes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This ensures the price of driving licenses in Malaysia has a maximum cap and is consistent in each state.
