Hey there, you young fellas! Wanna drive a car in Cameroon, eh? Well, listen up, ’cause I’m gonna tell ya how to get yourself a Cameroon driving license, the right way, none of that shady business, ya hear? It ain’t rocket science, but you gotta pay attention.
First things first, you gotta be old enough. I ain’t talkin’ ’bout being old like me, but old enough to drive. They got rules ’bout that, you know. Gotta check with them government folks or maybe the driving school, they’ll tell ya how old ya gotta be.
Now, you can’t just hop in a car and start drivin’ around like a crazy chicken. You gotta learn how to drive! That means goin’ to a drivin’ school. They teach you all the important stuff, like how to start the car, how to stop it without crashin’ into somethin’, and how to turn without flippin’ the whole thing over. It takes time, mind you, not somethin’ you learn overnight. I heard tell they’re gonna make it take even longer now, like four months or somethin’. Used to be just two, but they’re always changin’ things, them government folks.

And speakin’ of changin’ things, they’re messin’ with the prices too. That stamp fee, the one you gotta pay to get the license, it’s goin’ up! Way up! Heard it’s gonna be 25,000 francs now. Used to be just 5,000. Everything’s gettin’ more expensive these days, makes an old lady like me wanna holler. And the trainin’ ain’t free neither. Gotta pay for that too, about 30,000 francs, or so I heard. So, best start savin’ your money, kids.
- Find a good driving school: Don’t just go to any ol’ place. Ask around, see which one’s got a good reputation. You want someone who knows what they’re doin’ and won’t just take your money and run.
- Get your paperwork in order: They gonna want all sorts of papers from ya. Birth certificate, maybe a picture, I don’t know, all that government stuff. Make sure you got it all ready so you don’t gotta go back and forth a hundred times.
- Attend the classes and practice: Don’t skip class, ya hear? And practice, practice, practice! The more you practice, the better you’ll be. Maybe find an empty field or somethin’ where you can drive around without bumpin’ into things.
Once you’ve finished your trainin’, you gotta take a test. A drivin’ test. They gonna watch you drive and see if you know what you’re doin’. Don’t be nervous, just breathe and do what you learned. If you pass, congratulations! You get your license. If not, well, you gotta try again. And they got a deadline for that test too, somethin’ about December 8th, so don’t dilly-dally!
Now, some folks, they got licenses from other countries. If you’re one of them, you might be able to use that, but you gotta check with them government folks again. Sometimes they let ya just switch it over, sometimes you gotta take a little test, sometimes you gotta start all over. It all depends.
And for you fancy folks who wanna drive around the world, there’s somethin’ called an International Driving Permit. It’s like a special license that lets you drive in other countries. You can get that after you get your Cameroon license, but that’s a whole ‘nother story for another day.
So, that’s pretty much it. Getting a Cameroon driving license ain’t so hard, just takes a little time, a little money, and a little effort. But once you got it, you can drive yourself around, go wherever you want, and you don’t gotta rely on nobody. And that, my friends, is worth more than all the tea in China. Now, go on, get yourself a license and drive safe, ya hear? And don’t go speedin’ around like those crazy young fellas. You’ll get yourself in a heap of trouble and I don’t want to see that happen.
Remember, do things the legal way. Don’t listen to those fellas on the street corners tryin’ to sell ya somethin’ that ain’t real. It ain’t worth the trouble. Go through the proper channels, get your trainin’, take your test, and get your license the right way. That’s the only way to do it.
