Alan and Tyler, I'm 57 from Bolton, I've met many people in my life and you are 100% a Diamond Geeza. England has lost 1 of the good guys. I can understand why you got out of Blighty, we've both watched our Country be destroyed. Congrats Tyler on the Pass, you come across as a well mannered, sensible young man who has had the right values instilled in you by your great Dad.

One of the biggest problems when I was BT engineer were trees bringing down cables also branches would rub through wires eventually putting a sort Circuit on the line the first thing you would do would flown the wire through the trees leading to the property and trie and spot were it may be rubbing we would some times go out in the cheery picker but that came to an end after BT were fined for cutting trees with a Preservation Order on theme after that when people complaining about bad lines and way we could not cut the trees we had to explain why congratulations on passing your test 🎉

My daughter has just passed her test here in the UK. It took 40+ hours and in excess of £3k. Happy days! 😊 Well done, Tyler. A bit mean making you wait!

[@alan4x]

congrats for your daughter Stephen ..like everything in the uk its all about how much they can charge

[@johnchincotta1qwdb15]

Hi Alan,I wish to congratulate Tyler for successfully passing his practical driving test.When I was just a learner Many moons ago,I was told once you acquire your driving licence and drive on your own it's when you really learn how to drive and acquire driving skills.

[@alan4x]

thanks John, yes he was very nervous about the gears on the car but just like the motorbike after so long it becomes second nature, I just want him to be aware of all the traffic around him..its pretty intense here on some of the roads😁

[@johnchincotta1qwdb15]

[@alan4x]

@@johnchincotta1qwdb15you get used to it and the lack of traffic lights and junctions seem to just work very well but you do have to be on the ball for bikes etc all around at times

Congrats buddy

Thanks 👍

[@chasmcl42]

Congrats to Tyler, but i must say i was cringing when i seen him driving the bike down the road without a helmet, the reason being my stepsisters son went to the Philippines to stay for a few months, he was driving his scooter with a helmet on, but he picked up a girl and gave her the helmet, unfortunaity he was hit by a truck and was killed, the girl survied , so please take care🙏🙏

it may look lovely here but believe me the intense sticky heat is grinding on me🥲

[@fractalofgod6324]

Well done tyler Bach.....i must say though, i can see why there's so much road traffic accidents in the Philippines after seeing that test. Reminds me of the driving test in the USA, drive around s few cones and job done. I wish it was that easy for the UK test.

[@alan4x]

many over here don't even have a license

[@fractalofgod6324]

@@alan4x that doesn't surprise me Alan,I lived in Trinidad for a while and it was the same there. Lawless 😎😂

[@jarlstervik2924]

Remember the right insurrance, and also invest in a camera for the car, it's a cheap insurance in case of any accident. If it comes to word against word, you WILL lose due to you're a forreigner. A dashcam can save your bacon in such a situation.

[@alan4x]

cheers jarl, sound advise😊

[@johncollins2966]

I like the idea of the driving instructor giving you the test as well as when it's done separately the nerves can kick in. Well done Tyler keep safe.😊😊

[@alan4x]

cheers John, yeah its very quick and simple here but best of all there is no waiting list to get tested so in theory you can have your test completed within a few days of applying😊

Well done Tyler. Alan - I guess you've got to cough up for a car for Tyler now! At least he will be safer in a car than on that bike.

[@alan4x]

definitely safer in a car but because of the climate and scenery I would prefer to tour on a bike😊

My mate here in the UK has been having a lesson once a week for two years at £60 a lesson 👀 i told him it would be cheaper to hire a chauffeur.

its all big money now to get a uk license...very expensive

[@fractalofgod6324]

@@alan4x ain't that the truth.

[@frenchcreampuff]

Well done Tyler and great videos Alan. Out of interest what was the cost of Tyler's course as here in Bristol I hear stories of driving instructors charging £40 an hour for a two hour lesson.

[@alan4x]

hi, in English money it was about £100 for the theory test and 8 hours driving tuition

[@junlab2612]

Hi Alan, can you stay in the Philippines indefinitely by keep renewing your visa?

[@alan4x]

yes you can be a permanent tourist, after 3 years you have to leave for a few hours, then come back and start all over again

[@orlandoberry4031]

It’s your head Tyler - so you don’t have to ware a helmet if you don’t want to. However it could save you a headache one day.

[@georgeclarke1183]

is it 18 years of age in the Philippines before you can drive a car Alan

[@alan4x]

as a foreigner, yes you have to be 18

can you use tents in the Philippines i fancy backpacking for 14 days

[@alan4x]

yes plenty of camp sites, jungle and mountains to camp on

[@georgeclarke1183]

could you not purchase a saw from a hardware store in the Philippines

[@alan4x]

not at 1am you can't🤣

[@arbengagam2545]

Thats a lot of mango

[@georgeclarke1183]

can they not convert salt water into drinking water other countries do it

[@austinlloyd9757]

The costs of that and the energy needed will probably be more than might be available,

[@georgeclarke1183]

@austinlloyd9757 very true been a very poor country but it could be done as a last resort

Bukidnon sets in a top of a mountain (bukid=mountain)3000 ft above sea level. . Its very far from the sea/ocean.the nearest sea usually 6 hour travel from bukidnon..

[@neilwharton720]

Hi Alan I know you probably don’t have to wear crash helmets there but it’s really not good not too you don’t get second chances.

[@stewy62]

It’s actually mandatory to wear a helmet on a motorcycle in the Philippines, the penalty is a fine and your vehicle may be seized. Clearly this law is not very well enforced in the Philippines. Regardless of this, personal safety should trump the minimum legal requirements.

[@alan4x]

well lets hope the Philippines does not become like englandistan
