There was a slight delay as I had to send my paperwork back. They had written my name and nationality incorrectly on my driver's permit. :D

p.s. Do I look Phillipino? :wink:


Uuuum nah but perhaps the fact you spoke Philipino confused them??

Ah just kidding so is it a race to see who gets their licence first ...

Dubai Driving Center or Emirates Driving Institute?

Cargirl, it was so funny how they spelled my name and put Phillipino for my nationality. My name and nationality were typed correctly on the accompanying document, and my pic was located right above it. I don't think I look remotely Phillipino either :lol: Somehow they still manage to get it wrong...

Good thing you did not say England!


I was keen to keep it more general - besides, what's wrong with the driving standards of us Brits??


Nothing except that you drive on the wrong side of the street!

But the steering wheel is on the "right" side of the car - therefore it must be right.

Where are the Aussies to stick up for me when I need it?!?!?

pvt. instructor Aug 17, 2006
i myself have just started driving lessons (manual) with a private instructor and it seems to be pretty good... anyway much better than the belhasa and emirates.... works out to be cheaper.... and if you have a good instructor as in my case you could hopefully come out by the second test. If you are interested in the details PM me.
this is my first post at dubaiforums
cheers...

LMAO, That clip was classic.

Going back on track, having someone teach you privately is that actually allowed? I always wondered that, also if you wanted to teach someone how to drive, like one of your roommates, is that allowed? anyone know the rules about this?

I've seen a couple really nice looking private cars with the 'L' plate so I'm guessing that there must be a way to do this just not sure the rules.

Which is more easier? Driving License from AbuDhabi or Dubai Sep 03, 2007
Dear Friends,

I'm working as an Electrical Engineer, in Abu Dhabi.
I may get transfer to Dubai after 1 year.
The company is going to apply for my Employment Visa. Since they are having branches in Dubai & Abu Dhabi , they can get either Visa from both of these emirates. Also I can tell them, which visa to take.

I have heard that , Taking Driving License in Abu Dhabi is tougher compared to that of Dubai...Is it true ?


Which is more easier to take ? Driving License from Abu Dhabi or from Dubai ?

How many tests will be there in Abu Dhabi ? How long will it take to get a call to go for driving lessons , after opening the file ?

Please share your opinions with me..
