I don't know if the theory test in Dubai is the same one as the one in Abu Dhabi, but I was convinced that I'd fail, but didn't. I think they choose the easiest questions for the test, as I only got one wrong (Sam, note to self: When pedestrians are crossing the road, you slow down, you don't speed up!).

The thing that got me, was that in the pictures from the Textbook all the bad people, i.e. all the bad drivers, and the drunks, and the jay walkers, and the bad children that steal things, were all black. Terrible.

Incidentally, I failed the practical test before I even started the car, and I have been driving for over 20 years. So now I have to do 4,295,045,000 lessons before taking it again. Bastards.
