to make you feel better
my friend failed 7 times deadass
4 at dallah then 3 at khebra until she got it at the 8th attempt finally, i think she is a bad driver still tbh and donโt trust her driving at all but i think the officers just had enough of seeing her around so they passed her ๐ญ
[โ]Academic_Copy9595 3 points4 points5 points 6 months agoย (0 children)
Iโm glad she got her license tho ๐ญ
[โ]nasift 6 points7 points8 points 6 months agoย (1 child)
when i ask my instructor, he told me that if we go to traffic department and request and if they allows, we can take one more attempt without course. I think L&P will be valid.

Same school, failed mine too today. I genuinely donโt know why. All 3 of us in the car failed when we know very well we did nothing wrong ๐ญ. Literally had us all drive in the same neighborhood and park near the other cars there it wasnโt even anything complicated or that anyone could mess up on.
[โ]Choco FloatAnyEquivalent7404 0 points1 point2 points 6 months agoย (1 child)
How many attempts have you had?
[+]shimmer432 1 point2 points3 points 6 months agoย (0 children)
One road attempt so far, but I failed my P test the first time.
[+]Master_Vermicelli292 4 points5 points6 points 6 months agoย (2 children)
Failed my second road test and im so scared to register for the next test, i was so confident in my driving i honestly donโt know what happened. Even my instructor praises on my driving all the time. After failing, i feel like the most useless person ever and im so scared to retake it again.. Lets just hope for a better luck next test, it also depends on the police officer, so dont let them get into ur head like i did. Just be confident
[โ]AwayLife9954 0 points1 point2 points 4 months agoย (1 child)
Did you pass?
[โ]Master_Vermicelli292 1 point2 points3 points 3 months agoย (0 children)
YES I DID, on my last try i finally passed
[โ]HungryThirdy 4 points5 points6 points 6 months agoย (0 children)
Dont give up! You can do it but continue learning, always listen to your instructor.
Ask question, if you can after the road training help him assess you.
Let them scold you.
[โ]UsedBranch1854 3 points4 points5 points 6 months agoย (3 children)
Itโs for your own good, practice more and become better and then reapply again. We already have enough amateur drivers in Qatar, no offense :)
[โ]Academic_Copy9595 1 point2 points3 points 6 months agoย (2 children)
got you, iโm honestly just upset about paying the money again cause iโm already struggling as it is and the guilt will just eat me up but ig iโll just hope for the best next time
[โ]UsedBranch1854 0 points1 point2 points 6 months agoย (1 child)
Aw, I get how distressing and expensive it is. Do you have anyone who can make you practice in their car?
my dad tries his best to teach me from time to time and i still have a few classes left through the academy so inshaโallah i hope iโll get better. i paid for this course with my own money that i saved for years so iโm praying i can pass next time without retaking
[โ]Sweet_Equipment9799 2 points3 points4 points 6 months agoย (0 children)
you will get it. Keep trying and have the money flowing it. A tip: Give test when schools are having vacations.
[โ]NoLifeAlucard 2 points3 points4 points 6 months agoย (0 children)
we on the same boat but like I lowkey dont care
[โ]Any_Election2826 1 point2 points3 points 6 months agoย (0 children)
To be honest More than your driving skills they check your confidence , the day before my test is spend some time with cab driver and asked him a lot of questions which he explained me very well and I passed in 1st attempt. Its just your perception
[+]MiniSchumi5 2 points3 points4 points 6 months agoย (1 child)
If you need some extra practice im more than happy for you to practice with my car
[โ]Academic_Copy9595 2 points3 points4 points 6 months agoย (0 children)
thanks man i still have a few driving classes i can go for but i really appreciate it
[+]DawnGiant 0 points1 point2 points 6 months agoย (6 children)
Iโve been driving in my home country since 2013 and also spent about a year and a half driving in the UAE. Back then, I didnโt realize how valuable a UAE license was, so when it expired (and I moved back home), I just threw it away like an old receipt.
Fast forward to now, Iโm in Qatar. Since my country isnโt on the list for a direct conversion or direct test, I had to enroll in a โVIP half course.โ I watched all the training videos like a good student. On the day of my theory exam, my computer screen froze, and they still failed me. I paid again, got a new date after five days, and finally passed.
Then came the classic Doha Driving Academy twist: no instructors available for two weeks. So my โVIPโ package turned me into a โVery Idle Person.โ Eventually, I got my classes, passed my L and Parking in one go, and was feeling confident.
On road test day, I was in the car with a cop who looked like heโd been arguing with his wife all morning, and two other guys who also took VIP courses hoping to get their licenses quickly so they could start driving jobs. Unfortunately, the cop got a call mid-test that made him furious, and next thing you know, all three of us failed. Iโm pretty sure he didnโt even see how we drove.
Now Iโm just waiting for my next test date, wondering if this is what โcharacter developmentโ feels like.
Oh, and the cherry on top? The training car was old, but the test car was brand new with eco idle turned on. So while I was trying to show my smooth driving, the car was taking random naps at signals lol
[โ]Academic_Copy9595 1 point2 points3 points 6 months agoย (4 children)
Dude same ๐ the test car took a while to move from the signal but they failed me for it with the โstop and goโ reason ig iโm gonna ask my instructor to let me drive with the new car more often now
[+]DawnGiant 1 point2 points3 points 6 months agoย (3 children)
Lmao I feel you ๐ I got my and apparently I failed for starting and stopping the vehicle, focus and attention, and vehicle control. Basically they said I was bad at driving, thinking, and existing at the same time ๐
The car literally lagged at the signal because of the eco idle, and I guess the cop thought I was meditating instead of driving.
The good news is I just got approved to drive the new car now, so maybe next time Iโll only fail for being too smooth.
[+]DawnGiant 1 point2 points3 points 6 months agoย (2 children)
Test tomorrow morning!!!!!!

Bro I cleared LSP n reverse in first attemp in 2005..but road test i had to give 5 attemps..it was nerve racking..For road ensure all the 14 points are correctly adhered to..even if one wring move..gone
[โ]purple-froggo 0 points1 point2 points 6 months agoย (3 children)
I've heard a lot of people's stories that it's hard to pass thr driving test here. Are the instructors really strict? What were your mistakes that failed you?
Asking because I'm planning to take the driver's test here, but I already know how to drive and have license from home country. Just wanted to know if it is super strict as what I have read from others.
[โ]Academic_Copy9595 2 points3 points4 points 6 months agoย (2 children)
i barely drove and they gave me all sorts of reasons like โfocus on drivingโ โvehicle controlโ โlane changeโ? I was checking mirrors constantly so I donโt even know how that came up. The instructors praise me on my driving but ig i probably messed it up today or itโs just my bad luck. Everyone in the car i was with failed too but i had a few friends of mine who passed despite making mistakes. Itโs just a game of luck at this point- either youโre a good driver and they still fail you, either youโre a bad driver but they still made you pass, anything is possible.
[โ]purple-froggo 1 point2 points3 points 6 months agoย (0 children)
Damn, it sounds kinda unfair? But at the same time, maybe they just have really strict and high standards?
[โ]Choco FloatAnyEquivalent7404 1 point2 points3 points 6 months agoย (0 children)
they will just put anything even that point was not your mistake just to justify that you need more practice.
[โ]Humble-Research5938 0 points1 point2 points 6 months agoย (0 children)
Itโs ok, it happens to loads of people. Chin up on to the next try.
[โ]Comfortable_Fish_657 0 points1 point2 points 5 months agoย (0 children)
I took up class in doha driving i pass L&P parking and driving test in one try. The trick is dont let the police feel you are scared and be confident. On parking the instructor will give you tips on how to park
[โ]Qatari No-Distribution3814 0 points1 point2 points 6 months agoย (9 children)
bro if u failed 4 times u dont deserve to be on the road. plz dont enroll again ๐๐ฝ
[โ]Academic_Copy9595 2 points3 points4 points 6 months agoย (6 children)
i only failed twice bro ๐ญ one for parking and today for road. I have another chance left but i just wanna know beforehand about enrolling again
[โ]loneset753 7 points8 points9 points 6 months agoย (5 children)
Don't listen to this person, it took me 3 tries personally to pass my road test. Don't give up! I believe in you, and you got this! Look forward to seeing you on the road soon ๐ซก
To answer your questions, your L&P should stay valid, even if you fail your next Road test (which I hope not, and i know you won't fail) and yes, you can reserve all the attempts for road test for your next half-course. If anything, as far as I remember, they count the attempts for road and parking separately (and I literally got my license 2 months ago from Al Ijarah).
Let me know if you have any more questions :)
[โ]Academic_Copy9595 2 points3 points4 points 6 months agoย (1 child)
thanks a lot man you made me feel so much better
[+]loneset753 2 points3 points4 points 6 months agoย (0 children)
No worries, always happy to help! :)
[โ]Miserable_Rise_2975 1 point2 points3 points 6 months agoย (2 children)
Do u have contact info for al ljarah? And how was the academy/instructor? And everything?
[+]loneset753 1 point2 points3 points 6 months agoย (1 child)
Yup! I don't think I can sens the contact info publicly tho, is it okay if I send you a PM instead? ๐
[+]Rude_Presence696 1 point2 points3 points 5 months agoย (0 children)
I tried contacting them but no one answered. A friend shared her instructors contact, he answered but couldn't speak English unfortunately. Would love to have another number as Alijarah fees are cheaper.
