Just spotted this little nugget...

Did you know that the practical driving test can last as little as 5 mins??? WTF?????

Blue Cat

it is pathetic! you need about 600 lessons before you get to that point as well

Spugsy

hmmm, I need to learn to drive soon, I spend over about AED 2,500 a month on cabs.

Blue Cat

you could pay for a car for less than that! I can't believe you don't drive mate

Spugsy

Yeah never did it back home, daft really, especially at my age eh?

TGFKASE

Jings, crivvens and 'help ma boab'.. 2500AED on taxis? You could hire a driver full time for less than that.....

Spugsy

well it may be hard for cabs when I move this week,

what's the best way going about getting a driver then? To be honest just someone to take me to work in the mornings would do.

TGFKASE

Easy-peasy.. checkout EW, they always have guys looking for driving jobs in their classifieds...

Spugsy

um, whats EW?

Blue Cat

do they? I thought it was illegal? you have to sponsor them and provide visa etc.

Spugsy

yeah I don't want some idiot in a nissan sunny though....

TGFKASE

Aye, like every maid ......

Blue Cat

valid point

Madam Medusa

yeah, but you don't have the insurance issues with a maid so it's not the same...it's defo not worth hiring an illegal driver...

MM, xx

Just ask the cabbies that take you if they know of anyone who want to do a regular pick up and drop off? They often know of someone if you ask?
