Hi Friend,
My name is Abdullah and i am from pakistan, recently joined a company as IT consultant. i visited twice to Dallah Office.聽 First time i paid my driving license fee around 450 SR + 100+ 30+ 10... and after all procedure, he took me to drive a car.
but I didn't pass and he put red stamped on my paper but later on, he told me to come after ten days and will give another try if you pass then you will appear into computerized test otherwise you will come after 6 (Six ) month.
I told him I am new here I want to learn some rules and especially right and left concept of driving but he totally ignores he and told me currently we have a lot of burdens to start new class so you just come after 10 days and will be given a test.
So, friends i need suggestion how can i learn via private instructor or else,聽 within a couple of days.
or the above method is going perfect or something doing wrong with me.

Dear Tariq,

Earlier if you had your home country driving license then you would be allowed to appear for the driving test directly.
But now the rules have been changed and you have to mandatory take classes for 30/60/120 hours based on how you drive the first time. If the person is asking you to skip classes and directly come for test then there is some issue. Please recheck with agents outside the driving school. They can help you.

Thank you Lavlak for your feedback also I have not seen any agent there as you mentioned I already focus on this point without classes they once again told me to come again and i have my home country driving license but none of any person saw this even i told them i have a license but they ignore it and directly told me to go for drive and after drive he reject and told me come after 10 days. then i visit to inner counters where you enroll into driving classes but same results.
