cuz i'm trying for almost 2 years in sharjah.......& well i'm not even getting close......cuz i still havent passed my katcha[assessment] test

cheers & good luck to all

2 years

How many classes does that add up to?

I seriously suggest that you transfer your file to another driving school where I'm sure you'll have better luck

Thats a thing i heard from most of the people, its difficult to get a license in sharjah

Im new on this forum. I went for the driving test on Monday after 20 lessons. I passed on my 1st attempt. I have every reason to go for the 20 classes because im holding a Malaysian passport and a Malaysian driving license. Been driving since 1995.

Good luck to all.

Thanks Jeevan. I was abit worried, but luckily i got it. Phew. If not, i have to go through 8 more classes before my next driving test and it will be a miracle if it takes a month. Just can't depend on taxi in Dubai. There is no proper taxi stand unless you are in City Centres.

Might be the case:) orelse the sun must have reflected off my head in his eyes so he saw the mistakes i dint see

I heard that if you have a British License you don't need to take a test, is that true?

That's correct!

No test, just pay a few dirhams and they give you UAE license!

One of the few benefits of being British these days.......

But....you guys drive on the wrong side of the road.

maybe - but we do have a thorough testing process - hence we able to otain a UAE license without any lessons.

This is crazy though, as I honestly have no ideas of UAE road laws (I assume there are some) they really should make everyone at least take a short theory test if not practical!

I'd say they are all common sense. Roundabouts are of course free-for-all. But one difference at least between USA and UAE is that you don't get pulled over for not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign. You can actually fly through it if there are no oncoming cars. My bro ran into the back of a Canadian guy who jammed the brakes at a stop sign with no oncoming cars. Unexpected move by the Canadian around here.

Where do we do that?

The way the system works here is it depends if there's friendly trade between the 2 countries. One would expect you can drive in the UK with a UAE licence ... or at least that is what I have been told !!

I think you can drive with any license for the first 12 months then you must take theory and pactical tests. That applies to all EU countries as far as I know.

has any of the complainants actually sat down and think to themselves.....

"Hrmmz......they kept me out of Dubai or Sharjah roads for a reason....."

but then again.....looking at the kind of drivers we have here.... i wonder how half the UAE actually passed their driving exams!!!!

and .. this is what happened later on:

got my e-mail from df,
recieved numerous emails asking me to get 'em passed
i din reply initially to all, but i did respond to a paki guy,
coz he wined like a dog

that motha fcuk promised me 800 dhs for feeding the driving inspector on duty as on the same day of his test,
i took his details, got him passed, the inspector called me and informed me that he had the guy done with the test.

and the only thing i hear even today since then, when i call dat SOB is innal hatiful mutharak ......

such a sob ..sucka ..

so kindly,

all of you loosers, dont e-mail or call me for getting you passed in your fcuk drivin test.. hell with you all unlisenced tricky fcuk heads!

In Canada they teach you to make a full stop at a stop sign, count to 3, then move on. I almost failed my test there because I committed the horrendous crime of only waiting for 2 seconds.

On another note, I would approve an extra mandatory 20 hours of driving lessons for people who don't have the necessary prerequisite (a penis). The only time women are not driving recklessly is when they're not using the rear-view mirror to apply makeup, which is never.
