I am here with the family ,we are  family of 3.My wife is Sumitra and my daughter Yaswinii who is 8 years old.

I am looking forward to meet many of you and make new friends.

Currently I am in Barwa City.

anyone can suggest a school that can teach driving properly.Or advice me on how to be a good driver to meet the standards here?

I have been driving in malaysia for 23 years without accidents to my name. any advice gents?

The other thing is can I know which are the Hospitals open 24/7 365 days?

My child and wife came down with a bad fever yesterday and I could not find a doctor until the taxi driver took me to Apollo.Without a drivers license I am stranded and the cab fare was a bomb last nite.

Hi guys and Gals .Thanks Molten for the words of encouragement.I hope it will all go away soon.

Well it all started with my designation in my rp .

This made getting my family rp a drag.but that got done after lots of stress followed by my kids schooling and now my driving license has become an issue.

I was told by the school that I am not eligible for any privilege due to my designation therefor had to do the full test,in march.

I only did my parking in may which i passed .On the day I passed they told me there is a new rule which says the on the road test is 3 months later so end aug will be my date.

Come end Aug I failed.Now i am given a date end of nov .

I guess the school did not teach me well enough to meet the high standard of driving in doha that i see everyday.
