Driving rules???

Hey there, does anyone know how i can get a hold of a driving manual or some book with qatari road rules? Is one available online? Driving there sounds like nothing i'm used to! Those of you from the states, did you just land in qatar and start driving right away? I get a feeling i'm in for a rude awakening.

"As you’re approaching 200m to a roundabout, you must get into the correct lane by following the directions marked on the pavement, indicate if turning".

----> IMO ... the article is a joke ... i am sure people learn about this in Qatar before they got their license. Get into correct lane? Dont you think it is a common sense if you want to turn right, take right lane when you approaching a roundabout. Duh !!!

Sorry Izzie ... you will have to observe the road, and have this attitude, if you cant beat you will have join them.

I dont drive here till 2 yrs after we arrived in Qatar. I was scare stiff watching people pulling out in the roundabout.
