I feel great fun with this test drive. And now I work in Xi'an and hope to join in next time. I got my Chinese driver's license several months ago. I am not sure how long I will stay in China and I want some independence, so I can drive the car at weekends and holidays to explore China instead of catching the bus or train.

As an expat, it is not easy to get my Chinese driving license. First, I need to get to the police station at Keji Road and copy of your driver's license and your passport and then you must go the traffic authority and take more paper work. I have to pass the computer test which has 100 questions and you have to get over 90. But I can pass, and I think anyone can do.

I have a car which I take it at weekends, and I feel quite uncomfortable here because the traffic jams. About the driving habit, I am used to the right-hand driving although it is different from the left-hand driving in Australia. So far, so good.
