YES, no problem you can drive other people's car anytime as long as you did not hit something or worst someone.

Technically you're not allowed to drive your friends car; unless he gives you an authorization letter.

As far as I understand it, it is the car that is insured not the driver. so as long as you have a valid driving licence, Qatari or otherwise you are insured to drive the vehicle.

I too am interested in this. If my friend lends me his car and I have a valid licence, does his car insurance automatically cover me to drive? In the UK cars are insured under the name of the driver and if you want anyone else to drive it you have to put their name on the policy. Is that the same here?

no problem at all...you just have to present an ownership id if and when the police requires you to do so...just be safe and prevent accidents
