Got my driving license today

[qwert97]

This morning I went to the RTA office at Jumeirah and after 20 minutes I walked out with a gleaming new driving license. It was a straight conversion from Canadian license. I am pretty pleased especially when I got my residence visa yesterday. :-)

Congratulations! It's a great feeling. I like that it is gold.

Good on you!! I'm so jealous!!!

Sweet!

Now you can join all those madmen on the road

Actually I need to learn how to drive. Here are some things I lack:

1. Pushing someone off the road.
2. Never giving way to someone.
3. Honk if someone else is giving way.
4. Don't care about my lanes on round abouts.
5. Speed, get close to the other car on the fast lane and blink.
6. Don't care about anyone else around me.

Well if you'd like to take lessons from the husband then look for the white man doing steps 1-6 merrily down SZR with a slightly bored look on his face. You should also note that lessons are free and available anywhere on a road near you

Very true!! Wait till I'm legal to drive - I've been told I'm a good driver but drive way too fast!!! My response was, get out and walk then!!

Qwertz - Do the exact opposite of what a good driver does and you'll be fine! Remember not to use the brakes - actually take them out, they'll just get in your way; keep your foot on the gas at all times, even when stopping! Mirrors should be removed - they're there for putting on your make-up and since you don't wear make up, you have no need for them. As long as you're still on the road, you're doing great - no need to drive on your side of the road and if you need to change lanes, then swerve - whoever's in the lane you want to move into, will swerve out of you way!!!
