On Sunday, I completed Step 2 of getting my Ecuadorian drivers license. I completed the seven-day driving course, with a planned 35 hours of learning. I know how to drive. What do I need 35 hours of training for? Well, the course is well produced. The instructors were excellent and I learned the laws. The laws are different here than Canada. Many are the same, but there are some differences. Like you can pass on the inside lane — legally. The stipulation is that you have to feel that its safe.
Each day consisted of 3 hours of driving and 2 of classroom — Monday to Friday. On Friday morning I took my Practical Exam and scored a 20! Not one mistake — at least none that the instructor noticed. Being a foreigner has its benefits. In the afternoon, there is a written exam. Of twenty questions, you must get 16 correct.

The Transit Commission requires another 20 question exam, and another pile of papers and I should walk out with my license. Simple, right? Easily the hardest read: frustrating part so far.
But in the end, it all went okay and I have my license in hand. Well, after I started this process, that thought did go through my mind. The process began just two short months ago. The first week of December I registered for my course — which is required for everyone even if you have 16 years driving experience.

The quality of the course was good and the instructors were excellent. The course ended towards the end of December and I got my certificate from the driving school on December 26th.
This is the paper I needed to go write my exam at the Transit Commission. During the month of December, it had been shut down as the bosses tried to cleanse the place of corruption. Apparently, a number of the workers were overcharging the fees and pocketing the difference. In fact, when they finally reopened, there was a huge sign outside the door advising what to pay — and not to pay any more than listed fees. In just a couple of minutes they snapped the picture and printed the license.
I easily made photocopies probably much more of my passport, high school certificate, blood type, power bill, driving course certificate, and every other paper I have with me here in Ecuador.
I easily made 25 trips for paperwork, tests, and appointments with closed offices. About the photo: While I was in the line to pay — I was also thinking that this was the line that I would receive my license as well. As it turns out, its a receipt that I take to the photo room where they make the licenses.
