    Hi guys... well, currently I am working in Dubai, UAE. However, I am eager to come back to Riyadh, KSA. So, do any of you guys have an idea that which job website should I apply at to find a job in KSA.

    Hi guys. Today, I gave my 2nd Road Test in Emirates Driving Institute in Dubai, UAE, and again, I could not pass the test as there was only one mistake as the RTA's official told me so.

    I just wanted to point out that once you fail the first road test, you have to wait for atleast 22 days for the beginning of your 8 classes. Once you finish your last class out of 8 then again, you have to wait for atleast 1.5 or 2 months for the road test and by this time you don't feel that you are in practice and eventually you fail the test by only going through a try of 5 to 10 minutes. So, is there any solution for this?

    I was driving very well but the RTA Official failed me for only making one error which was not that dangerous. I don't know what to do next but still, as I need the driving licence so, I am taking 8 classes again and will be attempting the road test for the 3rd time which I don't know after how many months that will be. (I sure hope that I get the licence in this 3rd attempt). Do pray guys.

    If you headed to a small town to take the licence it will be very Easier!

    It cost me 3750 AED from registration till the first attempt of the Road Test which I couldn't clear. Afterwards, I paid AED 55 for 8 classes each and AED 80 for the 2nd Road Test fees. After failing this 2nd Road test, I just gave AED 65 per class yesterday for 8 classes (as they have increased the fees) and the road test fees will be the same i.e., AED 80.

    I am not an immature driver, I am driving for the last 6 years before coming to UAE but, I don't know why this is happening. All my driving instructors are saying that my driving is O.K. and I should be given the licence by RTA but I don't know why they keep on failing candidates for little or no reasons.

    Thanks. I think getting licence in KSA is a lot more easier than that of UAE.

    It's very tough & da_n hard. You spend so much but your Road Test date comes after at least 1 month in which you usually become out of practice and forget many things. Also, the RTA officials look forward to fail you on slightest error.

    I guess their job is to fail you rather than pass. :)
