Bribing is a really. My bro's friend is learning to drive manual after he "bought" his manual license in Abu Dhabi. Can you really imagine some of those rich snobs actually taking orders from an instructor?

I too have licenses from 2 GCC countries and after taking classes failed three attempts for flimsy reasons - attentiveness, lane changing - ridiculous!!!

@cheap

you are taking d/l from sharjah arent you ?

however, taking the classes have become mandatory. Or even if you are not taking it, you need to wait until your date comes.

Ok since I started this topic, its only fair to report what had happened to me. Here's the thing for anyone who is thinking about taking the lesson. Dont be lazy, go to Galadari in Al Qusais, just before Sharjah. If you've reached Sahara Mall (like I did) you are already in Sharjah!!

Anyway back to topic, I didnt need to take up lessons. I went straight for the test and passed straight away. But of course this comes with many years of driving experiences in many countries - left and right handed. Or maybe female instructor is easier. And the damage is less than 300 dir. Time spent all in all 3.5 hrs :lol:

However do take note that once you get your automatic licence you are stuck with it. I didnt know I now cant drive a manual car in this country :( But then again no one explained that to me.

Anway I am so glad I got the licence at ease.

Congratulations, but once they gave Wafey a license I figure anyone can get one.

Never met you but I'm sure you are an excellent driver.

ps1. Not sure whether Wafey's is real.
ps2. I met you but you were sleeping both times!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Charlie Brown.
But please dont insult me by comparing with Waf :roll:
Having said that, I was in his car 3 times and it wasnt reckless ... although I was asleep on one of them :lol:

The sleeper...

Waf has had his license for about 6 to 7 months.

How he got it still remains a mystery.

I have heard from all the male friends who needed to take the test failed. For once I consider myself an advantage to be a female in this country!! Or maybe the instruction straight from the Head Traffic Department helped.

Now tell me, how do they pass the taxi drivers ?!?!?!

Looks like the second time I have to agree with Concord, and wouldn't it be an absolute pleasure if everyone did just that; "Drive properly"

2 years :shock:

How many classes does that add up to?

I seriously suggest that you transfer your file to another driving school where I'm sure you'll have better luck

At least they make compulsory to get a license here. I was told that half the population in Ireland drives without a license !!! can you believe ?
But again they probably don't have half the accidents we have here which just shows that it's definitely a license to kill (not to drive) that you get here.
