No need ID. D/L = ID Card :)

or is it still required to present the ID card?

hope you can advice me on this.

thanks!

So nice of you for informing us...But then i think those papers/docs should always be with you when you drive...You just never know,when the lightning strikes...Lolz

no letter p in arabic.. ;-)

is it really greentea?? so thats they pronounce it huh.. good to know.

Everybody is right Everybody is wrong, it depend where we stand.

everything here that is "p" is pronounced as "b"...

papa - baba

pepsi - bebsi

so it might be pitaka for bitaka? lol

whatever... but thanks guyz for the reminder...

pataka = bomb,

they are also checking the driver's license. happened to me and my friend in the roundabout before Landmark (coming from corniche).

just bring all your identity cards to be on the safe side.

lol.. yesterday morning there was some sort of checkin going on near Al Rawda Compound, I was surprised, why would they want to check on a friday morning... but there alot of people that come back from the dunes and some could be drunk. When I got near the cop, he didnt say anything and let me go, they were just looking for 4x4s.
