Driving License - oh

try not to be nervous go do wat u supposed to do , stay calm, confident and even if the bloke hurries u just take yr time..i remember the bloke 'yallahing' me to hurry just so to get me nerves jittery but i stayed calm and even when he insisted that i should enter a NO ENTRY road i told him -NO its NO ENTRY-hence his tactics of trying to fail me........and then after 5 mins we are done and i passed ........YAY -be confident of wat u doing ok now good luck to u

the last time he rode a bicycle was before we moved to doha over 3 yrs ago......daddy-o wont even think of him cycling here wat will all them loonies on the roads these days, a driving license is only to be used in case of emergency since i am the family designated chaeuffeur ......lol

and smoke was wondering if u tried the SPCA??ROFLoL

>who needs enemies when u have friends like these............chuckles

life's too short so make the most of it, you only live but once.......

Where there is Fire...There is Coke. Where there is Rum..There is Smoke - Sir Smoke-a-Lot

well u missed a great opportunity to adopt a poor kid who'd love u and cherish every expensive gift u bought him and who'd pinch ur son when u were not looking or even make him eat sand. oh well beggars cant be choosers

spicemom - I think 17 is stil to young to be driving a car and as you have upgraded his bicycle to a racing bicycle, he will in anycase get round the town faster than in a car and just think he doesn't even need a parking space.

smoke

nobody wanted to adopt you I feel sorry for you poor poor boy!!!

hmmm 6 yrs ago i was younger than i am today.........tehrheehehhehhe and then my son was just 10 yrs old........and i was still working ......., now wat did i miss??>chuckles

life's too short so make the most of it, you only live but once.......

where were u like 6 years ago spice mom...i remember placing an ad in the papers for putting myself up for adoption...sigh!

Where there is Fire...There is Coke. Where there is Rum..There is Smoke - Sir Smoke-a-Lot

yes i know but who said life is fair...next time i should take things down in writing...parents these days i tell u can never trust them.

Where there is Fire...There is Coke. Where there is Rum..There is Smoke - Sir Smoke-a-Lot

good idea smokey but nah the car is already there all he needs is to 'qualify' so to speak. yes ppl think driving is easy but wat comes with it .......a) sense.........b) responsibility to not only yrself but to other motorists.......c)safety .

ah dont worry abt paying for this car we will send him the bill plus interest when he already has a job...........hehhehehhehheehhe>kaching kaching-goes the cash register..........(do i have to say just kidding>>??)

life's too short so make the most of it, you only live but once.......

oh smoke, you have been cheated

well just do as my mom did...tell him u'll give him the car if he gets good grades and then pretend as though u dont even know what he's talking about untill he gets a job and pays for his own car. worked for me ;)

Where there is Fire...There is Coke. Where there is Rum..There is Smoke - Sir Smoke-a-Lot

u see smokie i had given him a tricycle then it got upgraded to a bicycle so now its time for a car but not until he makes the mark so to speak.......

life's too short so make the most of it, you only live but once.......

what happened to the good ol days when mommies gave their son's tri cycles to go about..sheesh.

Where there is Fire...There is Coke. Where there is Rum..There is Smoke - Sir Smoke-a-Lot

Spice, so your son have to undergo too many tests before getting license!!! (first from his school and then from his MOM, then from Traffic Dept. oh poor boy)

try united driving school and look for mr.nair, tell him your story and probably he can help you out

blaze it up!

well my reasoning is if ya aint smart ya aint gonna drive basically ya need a good head/brain before ya can even think of driving. lets not add more 'crazies' on the roads it is bad enough as it is.........loving thy child is giving him a good foundation in life(amen)

life's too short so make the most of it, you only live but once.......

No schoolwork...no licence. *evil grin*

*** Light travels faster than sound. That's why most people appear bright until they open their mouths.

indeed boer also another criteria i set for son before he takes his driving lesson is good results in report card before u even dream of getting a driving license..........lol else its gonna be either on foot of a bicycle for him..........me bad......muahahahhahahha

life's too short so make the most of it, you only live but once.......

that clears it up for me. And yes, I think it's better that your son gets his licence back home. At least he will be taught by someone who speaks his language and at the same time he will learn to drive correctly and courteously.

After that he can come here and pick up all the bad habits...j/k

*** Light travels faster than sound. That's why most people appear bright until they open their mouths.

the rate last august is 2100 QR for the full course (40 hours?)..

i think they increased the rate so that enrolees are only those whose need to drive is high..

also think that it is easier to schedule exams when you're enrolled than when not..

good lUck!

then, if he can get the license there, here his test will be much easier

read in one threat that a 17 yr old will have to get special permission fr some top personnel fr the traffic dept (not really sure ) before he is allowed to take the driving at 17 and yes it has been done......

life's too short so make the most of it, you only live but once.......

also at least back home they are taught the proper, correct and safe way in driving........for road signs we have a 100 question paper to sit for where by 100% is a compulsory......., safety and road etiquette is strongly stressed upon

life's too short so make the most of it, you only live but once.......

is the situation with driving licence age. I have had conflicting advice. My son is 17 now and I am confused as to whether he can get a licence now or only do the lessons and then take the test once he is 18. Does anyone know for sure?

*** Light travels faster than sound. That's why most people appear bright until they open their mouths.

back home being MALAYSIA........and no we dont get our license converted unless if we are a pilot otherwise we gotta do the eye test , road test n parking test but then again they keep changing the rules every so often i have no idea wat will the recent requirement be as for me over 3 yrs ago all i did was just eye test n road test then i am done..........que sera sera wat will be will be

life's too short so make the most of it, you only live but once.......

pauls words r true regarding the licence

Spice, thats a good idea, first take a license back home, and in that case he have to join here for short course only.

for some countries they "convert" the licence. Not sure which coutries though.

thank u spicemom for ur reply good morning

good morn goodg

even if he can drive at 17 he needs more than the 25 lessons??and now the price has gone up?shucks they are surely 'milking the cow' (so to speak) at every and any chance they get...........thank you birdy and boer

now am wondering should he take the test back home and come back here to do just test to get driving license or just do it all here??

life's too short so make the most of it, you only live but once.......

Anybody who fails the test three times probably shouldn't be driving in Qatar without lessons.

As he is only 17 he may have to take more lessons than just 25 and as I understand the lessons now cost QR 2.500,-- sen a PM to Martinez II he is currently taking driving lessons and can tell you what is needed and how much they cost.

goodg

if you have a licence you need only the short course (12 lessons). Passing is definitely not guaranteed.

*** Light travels faster than sound. That's why most people appear bright until they open their mouths.

holy smokes that is alot (abt 3 times more than where i am fr)and it aint a guaranteed

passing is it??this is for those without a driving license right??

life's too short so make the most of it, you only live but once.......

will probably need the long course. That's Qr 1800 for 25 lessons.

*** Light travels faster than sound. That's why most people appear bright until they open their mouths.

any idea wat the charges are like for the driving course(son turning 17 soon)?and how long is the course?thank you

life's too short so make the most of it, you only live but once.......

Try Al Rayah Driving school....

I'm sorry you failed 3 times but there is no other way to get a license than to pass the test.

I failed once and then I took to driving classes (short course) just to know what they are looking for on the road test and also mainly because we do not have a lot of roundabouts back in our country. I found out that they are particular about your car's position before approaching a roundabout when you are going right, left or straight.

Try to go into a short course to bring up your confidence.

that is eassier said than done paul considering we aint in his shoes......but yeah i agree with paul when you are relaxed and confident you wont feel nervous........and pls pls the day before the next test do do have enough sleep and rest.........and last thing good luck

life's too short so make the most of it, you only live but once.......

Relax, Be confident, Just follow the rules, forget all the rest

theres nothing to be nervous about, relax do everything the way u were taught, adjust the mirrors as soon as u get in the car, seatbelt, drive slowly and carefully and make sure u look in all the mirrors at all times. Plus it would help us to help you if u told us in which perticular area u failed the test, pocket parking or road test?
