By abuhanna

Kindly share your experience..

I have following inquiries, that i hope you can help me and will useful for others aswell.

1. I had joined for full course and i got passed inside 3 tests (Signal and parkings) at first attempt, but unfortunately I failed all 4 attempts in Road. How can i proceed for 5th chance?
2. Can I opt to automatic gear for my 5th road test? (All previous tests were with manual transmission gear)

3. If I took a short course at school for further tests, can I opt automatic? Shall I exempted from inside tests since i passed them already with first course?

I appreciate your valuable posts.

Hi Zino, thanks for comments.

Taxi/Public transport is good and tension free.

but availability of public tranportation is very less/rare.

could not depend for daily tr.

first thought was the taxi, but no solution except to spend money until getting license.

Thanks, dear Vish,1843

will make a decision to continue (whether manual/auto) after some relax, since all last 4 attempts were with no big gap.

as profession (Engr) on my QID, I may be allowed to change to auto.

Kindly share if any additional information if you have.

thanks again..

Dear,

It will depend on your profession printed on your ID. I mean taking the Automatic Gear. U need to approach the Captain in the Traffic Department and you should get approval from them. They will give approval only for Managers, Doctors, Engineers, Accountants, etc. These profession should be printed on ur Qatar ID. Otherwise you will not be allowed to shift to Auto!

Its not an escape as dear friend RAshilkp said! If you dont feel comfortable or dont feel like you will get passed, with manual Gear, then ofcourse you can change it. But you should approach Traffic Dept and get the approval!

Don't worry yaar, don't try to automatic. and don't escape this situation . this is also you make fail your confidence.

please you continue your attempt, fail is the way 2 win. you proceed your 5th chance with manual. relax first. nobody never ever kill you after your fail. this is your money, your time, your confidence. try 5th one, you will pass In shaa' Allah.
