blij met volvo

gisteravond mijn eerste aanrijding!
en direct een fikse ook.
zelf mankeer ik niks dankzij de veiligheidscontructies van de S80 Volvo.
in het kort:
auto voor me remt, ik rem ook af, plotseling wijkt hij uit naar rechts: auto op de weg. ik rem nog meer kan niet naar rechts vanwege werkzaamheden en niet naar links vanwege voorbij razend auto's.
net als ik stil sta wordt ik vanachteren geramd door een Jeep, schiet door raak de stilstaan auto en twee keer boem.
auto schade ik niks
nu de papierwinkel draaiende houden om de schade te verhalen en een andere auto te krijgen.

balen.
vooral omdat het door het slechte rijgedrag van de Qatari's komt.
Dat wordt er niet beter op als ik dit in de krant lees...........................


Driving licence tests made simpler

DOHA: Driving tests in Qatar have been made simpler with the removal of ‘S’ test held in the driving compound, it is learnt.

Earlier, driving school students were required to pass three inside tests, namely L, S and Box Parking, which will qualify them for the final road test.

The ‘L’ test has also been simplified as students, while taking the test, now need not drive the car in reverse gear but instead can drive straight.

The changes came to effect from December 1, according to driving school sources. Officials from the Traffic and Patrol Department could not be contacted for comments on whether these tests, which several incumbent motorists failed, were scrapped for good or would be replaced with other tests. Those applying for driving licences usually found the 'S' test and the 'L' test very tough and several had to repeat their training and appear for tests repeatedly before being issued a driving licence. This caused most incumbents to spend large sums of money on learning driving and getting the licence.

Driving school sources said these tests might have been scrapped and simplified as most motorists usually never used the 'S' and 'L' techniques to park their cars.

Hence, despite learning the method, people tend to forget it over a period of time.

Some driving schools charged as high as QR500 for a week's training only on 'S' and "L" parking from those who failed the tests, sending the overall cost of learning to drive, very high.
