And most importantly, we are all here by choice. No one is forcing us to live and work in Dubai. We made a conscious decision of working in Dubai. If someone dislikes Dubai so much, no one will stop them from moving out. bijju » i was equally frustrated as you when I was unable to get the license for first two times… but now I realize that every country is unique and has it’s own procedures.

These ass holes forget that god is watching and one day they will be facing hell. But never mind, if u have no choices, u have to keep trying. Sometimes i feel , paying for road tests each time ( it varies between 1000 to 1800 dirhams) is going in a bottom less pit with no results. WELCOME TO DUBAI THE MOST ARTIFICIAL AND HOLLOW WORLD WITH NO HUMANITY. i think u failed to mention that this dubai driving license is a racket, in which the driving schools and examiners have a party at the cost of gullible expats (majority of indians and pakistanis).
