Need a driving coach, i want to learn how to drive a car,

I'm not sure about teaching a newbie to drive in Jeddah as the majority of other drivers on the road are too crazy for me to feel comfortable sitting shotgun trying to teach how to drive. Instead of asking strangers for help, why not learn from your family members?

because they're not here..... and yep, i agree, the roads here have got too much overly- enthusiastic drivers,not really the best scenario for training....

Ah.. I see. Well, there are driving schools in Jeddah and you can start by attending the school and getting your driver's license. But then getting the license and having the ability to driving safely in Jeddah is a two separate issue. Just try to be as defensive as possible and always expect the worst move from the cars around you(and the worst does happen quite often on the roads here!). Just stay away from the passing lane, drive at safe speeds, and just yield and don't let your temper get the best of you. I remember the hardest things to get hang of were changing lanes and parking when I was a novice driver. Good luck!

thanks rookie84!

i know.... patience... patience..... have been investing in patience ever since i got here in Saudi..... hahahaha...

Yes... patience is probably the most important virtue there is in Saudia

if you wanna drive here dont ever lose your temper

Hi J.Echo,

I am willing to help you with your driving learning.
I have my own Honda auto car and have been driving in Saudi Arabia since 1995 and in UAE for about 5 years.

You may contact me if you are willing to start.

Wish you all the best,

I need a coach for my husband he tried for driving license but Dint get the license
Hez doing a job frm 9 to 7 and dnt hv a time To go Dallah
Would you please help

Hi Sahfah, he can try at other driving license schools, one is located in South of Jeddah, other located on Al-Haramain express near Aramco.

Hi Ehtesham, were you on vacation?

did not know that there were other choices aside from Dallah..... do you know of other driving schools in Jeddah northern side? near Al Shati or Al Zahraa perhaps? thanks

JazakAllah
He can but i mentioned above
He has no time thats why searching for a private coach

hi J.echo, hope all is well. I am back from vacations, got married.
Regarding Driving schools, the one near aramco is located at North.
Coordinates:   21°38'5"N   39°12'54"E

Hi Sahfah, Your husband must have International driving license or from Pakistan to obtain driving license in a day from Dallah.
Without having licenese he will be asked to take lessons for atleast 5 days to 30 days depending on the performance during the test. You may put an ad on expatriates.com or facebook to find a private coach for him or he can find them from the circle.
If he is not an experienced driver, he may apply for automatic driving license.

Good luck!

thanks Ehtesham! now that is nearer to my place, compared to Dallah...

and congratulations on your wedding! hope you are enjoying the dreaded first year....

U knw ehteshaam he gave a test at Dallah he gt *Jeem* and he become disappointed soo much and dont want to try again at Dallah
He really dont like the system he hates soo much i hope you understand...
We tryin for international license but...
Anyways jazakAllah Ehteshaam
