Firstly u have 4 tests ...Firstly u have 4 tests ...
1)signal test (viva )
2)slope inclined test.
3)parking test
4)Road test.
first 3 tests is not a problem ..drive carefully as instructor said ..then the last one is road test important one .
for that first of all when u entered in to the car .u have to say salam to the officer then adjust the seat distance bettwen the staering then adjust the 3 mirrors by looking at that mirrors .central and both left and right.then put ur seat belt. then turn off the parking light as the guy before u will turn on the parking light when he leaves the car .. then put the gear in first then slowly release the handbrake and put the left or right indicator as per ur turn , then slowly move the car ..
mostly for the sake of good driving ,..u have to look in to the mirrors when u put left or right indicator and the look central mirror frequently ...its too important ..officer will note down awl this ....officer will ask u too stop in the no parking area for testing u ..if u stopped there u will fail ..then ask u to drive the car to the No entry side .be careful ...if u drive the car to the no entry side u will fail..
do careful while u enter in to the round abouts ..when officer said u to go to left at round-about for that if u are in the right lane u have to change it to the left lane by put the left indicator , before the 300 meters to the roundbout .(indicator is a must ) if any fail in this u may fail ..so be careful while turn on indicator ..u have to turn off the indicator after u enterd in to the lane ..otherwise u may fail ...so be careful with the indicator .and when u turn on indicator and change the lane ..u always lokk in to the mirror if any vehicles are cominfg or not ..this is important because i failed beacause of this reason ..
dont be nervous stay cool :) dnt worry ...awl d best

road test is the most important part in driving test ...:For Road Test:
1. Right after opening the door, greet the police "good morning/afternoon sir".
2. Hold your documents with two hands and give it to the police to show courtesy.
3. CHECK the car seat if it is close to the steering wheel and adjust it backwards so you have more space in entering.
4. Once sitted, put your seatbelt right away to avoid the chance of forgetting it.
5. Adjust your seat.kick the clutch..if not enough, adjust seat more..kick the clutch 3x so you will feel your comfortable reach. In adjusting the seat, put one of your hands on 12 o'clock of steering wheel for support when pulling/pushing the seat.
6. Adjust your rear view mirror with TWO hands. Be sure you don't touch the glass.
7. Adjust your side mirror right/left.
8. after steps 1-7, put both hands on steering wheel. left hand-9 o'clock, right- 3 o'clock. Then say "Sir, I'm ready".
9. When the police say go, turn off hazard, turn on signal, shift to 1st gear, release handbrake. (I opt in pressing the brake before releasing the handbrake)
10. Check all mirrors, look on your left side mirror and slowly move your car.
11. When police say "park", first thing you do is to turn on signal, check rear mirror,press brake slowly..feel your car braking smoothly, shift to 2nd gear in proper speed, check rear & right mirror before pulling to your right.
12. observe proper spacing between the road & car. Be sure your wheel is aligned straight, car parallel to road
before stopping.
13. Once stopped, turn on hazard (turn off signal first if it's still active). Shift gear to neutral then pull handbrake.
14. Put both hands on steering wheel and wait for police to say "ok,good!" , "go", "finish"...then say "thank you". Unfasten seatbelt & step out of car. (just an option- push your seat backward before stepping out of the car).
15. Congrats! you pass!
Important notes:
* Be aggressive- don't be afraid to step on the gas pedal!
* Observe proper speed limit- if speed limit is 50, don't go over 50 BUT DON'T BE TOO SLOW. Make your driving lively!
* Shifting - shift accordingly so the engine wont rev too loud or avoid early shifting that can "choke" engine
For smooth shifting on secondary roads/ inside subdivisions (50 km/hr speed limit)
1st gear: 0-20
2nd gear: 20-30
3rd gear: 30-40
4th gear: 40-50
5th gear: only use this on main roads
On main roads - maybe a little more aggressive depending on traffic flow.
* Breaking - Avoid hard braking except when needed. (You don't want to make the policy feel dizzy) So, keep proper distance between vehicles. CHECK rear view mirror everytime before you brake.
Tensions & feeling nervous is normal. Just think that the police is your father & you want to drive him safely
Note: sometimes police may bluff you. If he say 'park' in a no parking zone, such as bus stop, driveway entrance,etc.. don't park! Just say "it's not allowed here sir, I will find another spot".

Hi, I just got the license ...Hi,
I just got the license last Sunday in my first attempt.
You have to be confident and that is one of the main thing police is looking for driving test.
The signal test is verbal and it can be passed without much problem if you react to their questions quickly.Police is failing in parking test also if you don't do properly there.The road test is more tough than the other tests.They won't compromise there and you have to ride as per the traffic law.If you are confident in all traffic laws here in qatar,you can go through.That is sure.Otherwise you have to make attempt more.
