why is getting a Drivers licence in qater such a head ache

many people have to attempt it many times just to clear the test

and the stress is so much to clear the test that no matter how good he/she may drive

they just simply can't and the best part its so damm expensive how can a person with low wages afford it what say people is it every body or just me who thinks its not right.........

reckless driving on roads that we all experience everyday is not coz people have got their license just by a fluke or don;t know how to drive its coz people are just stupid these young qatari boyz who like to fly their car instead of driving and many other drivers who just get nervous while driving thinking they might get in to an accident and make mistakes.....

A life unexamined is not worth living

Do like me. Get over with it in the 1st attempt. No problem. Actually it is easy now. No more "S".

20% is too small !!!!

 

As for the number of people trying to trun across two lanes - its exasperating. I have heard of road rage, but am experiencing it off late with my increased driving on Doha roads during peak traffic hours.

 

I think every other guy wants to cut into your lane, and then cut into the next lane and at the roundabout, he will come back to your lane !

 

Driving in Doha is a test of one's patience and tolerance.

I see gross stupidity on the roads every time I'm in the car. Not only recklessness or aggressive driving but sheer stupidity. I'd venture to say that 20% of the drivers lack any common sense and don't realise that you can't turn across two lanes of bumper to bumper traffic!!

Guy's are you crazy ???  Ease the norm when it comes to getting driver's license ?  It should be more difficult, I feel sorry for you guy's but if you don't get the skills then you should not get the license.  There are too many incompetent drivers on the road as it is.

Whenever you experience that, it only means one thing..... you need "Wastah"... you better look for a good contact, who, you can trust and pay backshish, and the next time you have your exam , you'll pass.

To be perfectly honest, it should have been much more difficult to get a drivers license here- just look at the crazy traffic and you would understand.

I've been driving all over the world(48 countries) and this is the 

worst country I have been driving in.
