Nope Corcovado,

My cousin took it from emirates and he flunked two times before he could clear. me i took private and cleared in second attempt. The difference in recognised and private is that

1 recognised charge u 50 aed per lesson against 35 for private.
2. once your driving lessons timings are set u cannot change them with recognised, private institutes do that.
3. The standard of teaching is better at recognised institutes.
4. If you fail your test through a authorised center u automatically get the next date after 7 days as against 20-25 days in case of private.

I guess if one knows how to drive then the entire process with lessons shud cost around 1500-2000 aed(thats if u have to take lessons). With certain nationalities and countries u have to show your driving license and get a local one made in 10 mins like GAB and concord said.

Cheers,

Jerry

BTW congratulations whoever gott it

It's easy to get thru if you know how to:
1)park on the pavements
2)taking up 2 car parks when you park
3)Park in the middle of the road blocking all trafiic
4)jump into lines and not to use the indicators
5)change lanes on a solid line instead of dotted lines
6)drive on the shadow lines


These are all the basics, if you know how to drive a car like this, then you are passed!!

You omitted
7) Use warning/hazard lights at every available opportunity.
8. Slam on the brakes at every speed camera.
9) Honk your horn like a maniac when the light turns green.
10) Do u-turns at 2km/hour or like you are going to a funeral.
11) NEVER stop at a pedestrian crossing (made that mistake ONCE- talk about mental the guy in the car behind really let loose with road rage)
12) Drive like you are the only person on the road, with no consideration for others.
