DRIVING LICENSE TO WOMEN

By manish_00523 •
Hello Friends,
I am expected to land Qatar in July 07 can somebody please tell me regarding issuing of the driving license to my wife. Are there are lot of women drivers on the road or any restrictions regarding this.
thanx
I just passed my road test last 18 of this month and my friend the next day.
Does she has a valid driving license? if so tell her to get an International Driving License before leaving your country. so she can start driving when she gets here.
While depending on her International license start applying her to get the local license, but I tell you she has to do all the test they require here as only British, American, GCC Arab countries are automatically translated to local licenses. Asians has start from very beginning. She has to pass the Road sign. L and pocket parking before having the road test. Now, pocket parking it the hardest others are quite easy.
secret with pocket parking tell her when she reverse give a space of half meter away from the pole, then when she sees the first pole corner covered by the back hood of the car, full turn to the right. put down the mirror on the left hand side, reverse until the back left wheels touches the middle of the white line, then full turn to the left, reverse slowly and gradually, look at the front of the car to see to avoid touching the pole, as the front of the car goes in, reverse slowly and watch the back of the car make sure she doens't touch the pole, watch the front wheel, if it touches the white line in the middle, full turn to the right then move forward a bit to make sure she's inside the box. Now, taking the car out is not difficult take as many turn as she wants so long as she doesn't knock over any pole. after passing that they will take her for a road test.
Road test technique. adjust the chair with her right hand outside her right leg pulling the metal to adjust the chair, left hand on the steering wheel, adjust the mirror to see the back of the car and next the mirror on the left hand side, put the seat belt on, turn off the hazard indicator, indicate to the go off to the left, watch the road before going out watch the speed limits. then listen when the police says where to go. when he says stop! indicate to the right pull over, stop, turn on the hazard indicator, shift the gear to neutral, hand brake,
don't forget to say Thank you to the police he! he! he!
Wish her luck!!!
Just keep dancing, it will do you good!
If she has, then the rest would be easy. If she has an International drivers license, she just need an eye test and they'll issue her a license. If she has a valid license (from your country), she just need to do a refresher course (choose from 10, 15, 25 day courses) in one of the accredited driving school here and she could be scheduled for a driving test.
If she had none, then I might suggest have her learn how to drive first. Or she would need to go the full course (30-45 days, I think) and it would be costly, indeed. Full course is QAR 1,500+/-, depening on what school. A day's session is only 45 mins -1 hour, so go figure.
hope this helps...even a tiny bit...
P.S.
Why did you post 3x? triple clicked? It happens.... ;-)
Women are driving in Qatar. You should research how to get a license here as it can be difficult for some people. There was just a posting from a woman who finally passed her driving test, you may want to contact her.
