Good day to all of you. I want to share my experience doing the road test exam here in Dubai UAE, I just passed on my 3rd take this 3rd month of 2014. Which they say the toughest year since starting from 2012 RTA introduced a more stringent road test exam with highway classes (mandatory if you passed the Road Test Exam)… Since I’m really new in driving I did take the whole 40 class’s package together with the assessment road test, signal test, parking test. I did take the Automatic Light vehicle since my work is not really driving. It’s ok if you want to take the Manual Light Vehicle but be warned that if you are not keen working a quiet clutch, gear, acceleration and brake mode all together in a harmonious way in changing lane, right turn, left turn, U-turn etc, while with your Road test examiner you might fail. I rather recommend people who have experience driving Manual in their country to take the said Manual classes here in Dubai, UAE. Failure is not an option for me; I strive to perfect it without a mistake. The only hindrance that I can say is about the money! Yes money and why money? Because if you have money to burn you can schedule easily again and again till you pass your road test exam. Well in my case since I don’t have much money, I try to save for one year and a half of my salary and finally holding about 9,000 aed before I go to driving school. First I Did passed the Signal test, a computerized time limit of about an hour for you to understand the question and pick the right answer which I pass on one take! Some people that I’m with did fail and you pay another 300 aed! Next: Ok 40 classes, some good Pakistani and Indian Instructor, while other’s I have had a hard time communicating since I can’t understand the English diction they say but hey it’s still driving so I follow the rules of the road as much as I can! Then the assessment road tests, in this test if you pass you are still given 12 or 8 classes before the actual road test. If you fail they will give you 8 classes and you take the assessment test until you pass. Sadly I did fail on the first take since I’m not familiar with the road area were we did the test. I think my instructor did not let me go to that area! Now the road test! Before the Road test which I have to schedule for another 2-3 weeks since a lot of people are taking. So I’m idle for the next few weeks before my road test! So the best way for me is watch YouTube about driving test and it helps a lot. After that waiting I finally manage to have my first road test: let’s be clear Tester is the one who will take the exam while the RTA examiner is the one who will passed or fail you! 1st road test: Me, and 2 tester Indian guys. So I’m the first to take the car outside the main branch. first again I did the usual check mirror, seat, steering wheel adjustment and saying sir please put your seatbelt! Then while leaving the branch the examiner said to me Left change lane, right Change lane, 2 U-Turn, 2 Roundabout U- Turn. While driving the examiner said I hold the steering wheel too much that it cost the car to shake! So I try the best not hold it too much but I can’t! Then he said also I put break too much which I did, I did feel the pedal break is so lose and I have no way to handle it! Then for about 8 or 10 minutes which I’m the longest tester in this group which I have no idea why? So when I’m near the roundabout I check my left shoulder and see a car but it’s too far so I manage to enter the roundabout and suddenly the examiner hold my steering wheel. I was shock because I know I failed once they got hold on your steering wheel! He said park the car which I did! 2nd tester on his 5th try, drive a nice modest change lane right and left, 2 U-turn, 3 Right turn. During driving the tester suddenly ask the name of the examiner, how he is doing, how about work, etc. which the examiner answer nicely. While talking the tester said “are you going to fail me”? Examiner said why are you asking me? This is an Exam you must be focus! Then all of a sudden we are on the service lane at the center of the bus stop! Examiner got mad and he said park the car! And all I thinks it’s about 5 minutes. 3rd Tester is small quiet guy, same Left/right Change Lane, 2 U-turn, etc. While driving examiner asks a question and said which road lane speed is allowed here? The tester answers a long one and said “sir it’s 40 mph here” and the examiner shook his head in disbelief because it’s a 2 lane and 2 lanes are 60 mph! So we go back straight to the base, while nearing the base the tester come across a humps! Then while driving through it at a speed about 20-25mph we all got shook and shock on our seat! He did not slow down. So when we arrive and park the car the examiner said to him in directly “YOU FAIL”! All for about 4 minutes, So sadly we all fail. But examiner gave us a good advice like me, he said I try to control lightly the steering wheel and not break too hard. Same goes on the 2nd tester to focus on the exam while the 3rd one without any advice given is just plain quiet. 2nd Road Test: the worst time I did take it that day because of one idiot fighting loudly tester who happen to be the 1st tester! So me and 2 Tester who happen to be both Arabic speaking in origin! So sequence is 1st tester (I have no idea which Arab country), 2nd Tester is Egyptian by the looks of him and how he speak and 3rd is Me. 1st tester is the one who take the car outside the main branch; all is good change lane and right turn, then while we are on the 3 lanes (1st right lane, 2nd right lane, and 3rd left lane) which we are on the second right lane near a red signal. While waiting for the green light the 1st tester suddenly put the Handbrake up! The examiner saw what happen and shook his head and writes something on a paper, then green light is up and we go, while driving the 1st tester change lane to the 1st right lane. Then from there the examiner and tester exchange words in Arabic which I’m trying to understand what is happening! But then we park on a right shoulder and examiner told to the 2nd tester to go to the steering wheel. At this time both 1st tester and examiner are talking loudly in Arabic that the examiner almost got mad put up a his hand high towards 1st tester and like saying shut-up! So 2nd tester drives nicely without any word from the examiner and said park the car on the service road. So 2nd tester park the car and examiner told to me go to the steering wheel. So it’s me, same check mirror, seat, steering wheel etc. while driving towards the base and its traffic. He said I change left lane but again its heavy traffic, so since he said it! I try to manage to change left lane but I can’t or else we will bump to the left side of the car. So I said I’m sorry sir I can’t change lane for a short period of time on the road, and then we go back to the base of the main branch. After that we all were given a Fail report. I guess the 1st tester gave a bad introduction to Me and the Egyptian guy. But before he gave us the report I ask the 1st tester what happen and he said that his instructor told him to be in a safe mode while with the examiner put a handbrake in a red signal and always go on the right first lane to be safe! While you read this think what is wrong with the 1st tester during the exam? 3rd Road Test: a happy day. 1st tester Pakistani, 2nd tester Indian and 3rd is me. 1st tester took the car and while driving the examiner told him to change lane left and right several times. The car move suddenly and abruptly that the entire passenger also move from their seat. Examiner said park the car and while at park the examiner and tester are talking so long and I think at this moment examiner is trying to tell him what is wrong. So 2nd tester moves the car from the parking lot and we go straight to an area where there are no cars park and no traffic at all. The best driving course I have seen and so easy to maneuver. But the examiner notice that every time we are near to a broken line yield the tester totally stop and check his head left and right and then go. And while tester is near the straight line stop sign he did not totally stop but he was creeping slowly and checking his head left and right and go, Examiner said park the car. So park the car and it’s my turn. So it’s me I left the parking area and we go to same area where the 2nd tester did his driving. This time I did the opposite, whenever I’m near the broken line yield I creep slowly and check my head left and I go. While I’m near the straight line stop sign I totally stop and check left and right of my head before I go. While driving for no reason I suddenly introduced myself and while smiling I did tell him a joke which the examiner laughs. And from then on I feel ok driving with him even if he pass or fail me. So while we are near the main branch which I park nicely I just said to him “thank you sir emirati” and he smile… so I PASSED… 1st tester also passed but the 2nd one did not! Then I have to pay for a highway fee and license fee for a grand total of 7.981 aed, Thank you I hope I have shared my experience and learn from it. Thank you! O and the remaining amount of about 1k, I called my friends and have a grand party on my flat the whole night!

My dear one, i ll not specify the examples but as per my a lot of personal experiences in UAE, i have felt that everything can't be achieved by talents BUT by luck, chance & circumstance. in the reference of driving, specially in UAE, i would like to say u that "HERE IN UAE LUCK WORKS MORE THAN THE TALENT & HARD WORK" don't afraid, keep it continue & i hope u have not the financial problem to spending over it, just quit the purpose to get the DL. only do it some more time, i promise, u ll get it suddenly without any problem whenever u have no mind for it, & surely u ll be astonished that how it happened.

1. change your instructor / and or testing location /weekday , and try to find a similar car to the one you are being tested on so you can become comfortable with the vehicle & mechanical response etc. Drive it with the instructor on the same road they test you on. Notice all the signs on the side of the road even construction zone signs , may be you were ignoring some that you did not see there , but the tester noticed it. 2. Follow monika's advice. 3. If your hands shakes or trembles this is a reason why, the tester picks up on such signs. Consult a doctor as vitamin & pill medications are available to remedy this problem. 4. When the tester asks to do something (like stop /turn/ park etc) just do it right away without trying to inquire in what manner it should be done.
