Woohoo!!! Im so fucking happy right now, I cant believe it. The test was pretty straight forward and the examiner was a nice guy! I can now drive around the tiny Island of mine.

O3.power91 and Samachking are expecting me to be their personal driver LOL! Oh well, now I can pretty much drive myself to wherever I want ^^!

Congrats and drive safe. You are lucky to have a nice instructor since I have friends who had strict instructors where they had to retake the driving test because the guy was so uptight.

Grats for the license!!

The driving age here is 18 so I still have to wait till Xmas T_T and even then I'm not sure if I'll still be in Bahrain

Edit: It's gonna be nice having a friend with a driver's license

Strict instructor in the US?....

The driving test is so disgustingly easy in the US I don't see how it's possible to fail.

The general consensus around the US is that the people at the DMV are douche bags. Like any generality there are exceptions to this. Also, it might depend on the state you live in... I hear NY DMV people are way meaner than the California DMV people.

The permit test is extremely easy. The road test is not that easy and partly luck (although with a fair instructor it isn't that hard)

It really depends. Some of my friends had bad luck and were stuck with pretty asshole instructors

on my drivers test, my faggot examiner made me parallellpark on a slope between 2 cars. I succeded. I then excited as i was knowing i was about to get my drivers license drove straight out on a road without looking around and almost slammed into a car. Apparently that wasnt good and he failed me. Got it on my next try however

I guess I'm the lucky one I had a pretty chill examiner who wasn't out to fail me contrary to like what 99% of the DMV consists of according to friends.

Congratuations! Don't crash!

I can attest to the fact that it is extremely easy to get a licence in the U.S. because I have one and I cannot drive worth a fuck.

Congratulations man. The feeling of driving away from the DMV with your license is so great. Definitely blog worthy

Thanks everyone !!

An interesting piece of information is that Bahrain is one of small number of countries that still use the manual gear in training and examination vehicles. Whenever I ask why they answer : What if you need to use a manual car and you are only used to auto, then what do you do?. At first I was not comfortable at all with manual gear, but as time passed it got really easy and I actually enjoyed it more than driving with an auto car because of the amount of control and feel it gives ya !

However I believe in the coming months, they are gonna announce an option of training with manual or automatic gear.

I think it's much better that people train with manual cars. A lot of newer drivers are totally out of tune with their cars. It's too simple now. People don't focus anymore.... that thats when shit happens.

I'm gonna drive a manual car. Just for kicks.

congrats. Some people get stuck with auto transmission after they earn their license and totally forget how to drive a manual. Don't be one of those people! Driving manual definitely has its advantages.. plus its a lot of fun if you ask me.
