Driver's License--Please help!

Hello all,

Anyone have any idea if an American driver's license (Texas) can be applied towards getting a Qatari driver's license? I really don't want to have to mess with driving school. Thanks!

Hardest is " L " Parking. Find a friend who has a manual car. Practice with it. Hated the instructors.

Unfortunately they are not converting American driver license anymore. If you go to a driving school, they will give you a date to test. The test has 4 parts, traffic signals, L parking, Pocket parking, and street driving. I didn't pass the L parking and I have another chance to test :(

Good Luck to you!

NO, NO, Having an american Drivers license will not get you a Qatari License. DO a Search on QL and you will see that this was changed 2-3 months ago for americans.

Yes. You can change your license very easily. Go to the traffic department.
