Driving License - New

There is a guide section in EB:
https://www.expat.com/en/guide/middle-e … di-arabia/

This looks kinda similar info. Thanks for the write-up anyways.

Well, serial expat - i might have joggled up my memory on "How i got my KSA Driver's license"
It was quite an experience...Basically, first things first :
- I do not know how to drive.
- Of course, i don't have a car.
So, what should i do then? listed my priorities as:
--> learn how to drive
--> buy a car
...I did some attempts to drive a car with a help of a friend...maybe two or three times...which i failed miserably...engine keeps on dying, and i was having problem changing gears...finally, when i feel like i can move the car a bit, i applied for the license (in Al-Suwaidi, Riyadh) - with all the requirements as listed in earlier post. During the initial test, it was just a breeze...but i was a little nervous with all the bystanders watching you drive - but the instructor gave me whopping 15 days of school to start with. I joined driving school and took night schedule (6-9pm). For 15 days, i toiled sitting and taking a turn in driving (about 300m distance only!). After completing 15 days of school, I reported for the test (computer and actual driving test with a policeman). I was lucky enough to pass in the computer test, but failed in the actual driving test (honestly, i think my only fault was 'I never looked at the policeman during my test'. Again, i was given 4 days of school. During those time (sweet 4 days) I've been hearing a lot of underground ways to pass that test...since i have witnessed dozen of expat failing the actual test 2-3 times, i just sorted to that way. I still went the usual process, took the test --- only, I paid 600SR to make sure that the policeman will pass me - so I did...i went home happy with my first ever license...and have been driving since for almost 3 years

hi

i am kamran,
i am driving in my country from the last 20 years, i go for the driving liscence office for the first time in jazan, saudi arabia.

20 year old some saudis who had a very bad attitude toward foreigners were taking the test, they took my trial and laugh me on my driving, and told me to take 15 days training,

i pay around 350 rayal and start coming after 1 week, first they took teaching class for signals and traffic rules of about 30 mins after that daily driving for about 5 minutes for which i hav to wait for 2 to 3 hours.

after 15 days one police man , he had a very bad attitude toward foreigners, he failed me 3 times, i was driving ok.

after that they told me to pay for another 5 days, it cost around 220 saudi rayal. i paid the mooney but i didnt go back for the classes, i am suffering too much with out a car, i am with my family.
