Congratulations,

Would you kindly let us know the route you take to and from work, school, and the mall so we may stay away from those roads (at least for the next six months until you are really comfortable - which should coincide with the rest of us being comfortable driving on the same roads).

Enjoy. Remember that the beep on the speedometer is just a beep.

Hey Arnie,

I would definately love to be there, but then like i said i got a major event during that period if i get someone to cover up for me on that day i will be there for sure:) . The worst part is my PR & media relation person is outt town so i have to handle things on that front as well.

Man but would i love to be there, i missed the last meet as well :( hope i can make it this time.

Arnie, it may be that "major event" Jeevan is covering is the "DF meetup" itself. What could be bigger that night in Dubai?

It's easy to get thru if you know how to:
1)park on the pavements
2)taking up 2 car parks when you park
3)Park in the middle of the road blocking all trafiic
4)jump into lines and not to use the indicators
5)change lanes on a solid line instead of dotted lines
6)drive on the shadow lines

These are all the basics, if you know how to drive a car like this, then you are passed!!

LOL Feipo,

i wouldnt say its difficult but then theres a bit of luck factor involved i would say. If the cop whos testing you is in a good mood and is willing to let go off minor mistake if any, one can get thru in first attempt. I have seen people who have tried for 5 times and still trying :).
