Great idea!

Although I have "known" how to drive for a long time, I didn't get my formal license until much later in life than most people, for similar reasons to yours.

Now that I have it, I kick myself for not doing this earlier, but as they say: the best time was ten years ago, the second-best time is now.

Owing to the city life I often go up to six months without driving anywhere, but when I finally get out on the road again it feels great. Country driving is amazing, in any country where people drive safely. It's even pretty nice where they don't. City driving still stresses me out, but I'm determined to get better at it.

Good luck! If you find yourself having trouble getting the license in Singapore, there are other countries where you could get a license more easily, and with that license you could drive in third countries.
