Got my first Qatari driving license from Al-Rayya Driving School Madina Khalifa

My Instructor Mr. Faisal Wahab is really professional and gives very accurate driving lessons.

Although it was tough to pass the test but after going through all that... it is worth having it...

Thanks drsam and blue_rose for your valuable tips. Although I agian failed but then I changed my school from Gulf Driving to Al Khebra. There again I enrolled for a 12 days course and I was given the quite early just after 4 days of registration because the time was 9.00-10.00 PM. My instructor was very good and he taught the basics of pocket parking and of course the tips to pass the road test. So I gave the test, passed in the first attempt got the licence and now I drive.

Allhamdullillah!

i took and passed the direct test since i was already driving in my country (even though it was a right hand drive). took me around a week to adjust to left hand driving and the traffic rules here.

now its me, my car and the trapster app ;)

i passed the pocket parking in gulf driving school in first test itself after having 20 days class only.even after 10 days of training my instructor was telling me u can easily pass.thats because what ever he teaches i learn quickly and use my mind for techniques n all.

first of all, practice makes perfect doesnot go with driving.u cant pass the test by only practicing.u have to understand it properly the techniques n all.

if u only want to pass the test without any understanding then u may note the pole color and distance and when to turn full right or left then reverse up to curtain ditance and its parked.

Make sure u r confident in what ever u r doing.

Test day

arrive early

look for your papers

pay the test fee

go to signal test window

give the signal test

learn by heart all the signals cz they ask the signals very quickly

go out side and get a car

drive on the slop L

and do the pocket parking

wait for the bus

get in the bus and perform the road test.

When u will enter the car adjust the following

- Seat

- Side mirrors

- Back mirrors

- put on seat belt

- give the indicator

- put the car in first gear

- release the hand break (should be done at the last)

- now look both ways and drive on the road.

- when ever u r taking the turn look both ways, mirror and back mirror

- make sure u shift all the gears accordingly

- now when the inspector says park!!

- give indicator

- look back mirror and side mirror

- then park the car on the side of the road

- take the car off the road and make sure that ur distance from the road side should be approximatly 2 feet

- park the car parrallel to the road

- now turn the on the warning lights (or wt ever they are called)

- neutral the gear

- remember to put on the hand break

thats it

Whoollaaa !!!!

u r pass!!!!

Good luck

Congratulations,drive slowly and be vigilant at all times when you are on the road.

Be careful of other drivers and pedestrians as well.Always remember,you are the eyes,ears and brain of your car,It does not have it's own.

Do not buy a new car immediately, buy a second hand car and first learn for something to make yourself perfect like drive on small street, do parking and then a little later move on road

By anonymous• 7 Apr 2011 14:53

Well done but please do not get excited as excitment and then taking the car on the road immediately might cause an accident, so be safe and drive safe and think about your loved ones when you drive fast or recklessly
