Driving without a license--how bad of an idea?

Oil

All,

I am wondering what the punishment is if you are caught driving without a Qatari license (I have a Texas license). Just how bad of an idea is this?

Enigma. Get your Facts Straight. US Driving license holders cannot get a Qatar Drivers license without a Drivers test anymore.

And to the Question, don't think about driving without a Drivers license, your future in Qatar might come to an abrupt end if you are caught
