Need to rant about Driving licence run around
As if this couldn't get anymore challenging and frustrating. Went to the traffic dept at Madinat Khalifa this morning to get a driving licence. I have a full UK one so don't need a driving test. Got there only to be told they don't do the eye test there anymore, you have to go to an optician, and no, they didn't know where the nearest one was. They checked over the paperwork we had, seemed happy with the copies and photos etc, except they need a photo copy of the back and front of my UK licence (nowhere on the form or internet does it say this but hey ho, we're in Doha). Despite access to the net, Google failed miserably to find a nearby optician, but we found an optician on the way back to DH's office, but of course that time in the morning it was shut. So, killed some time having coffee at the office and ventured out again.
Arrived at opticians, and yes they do the driving licence eye test. "Mam, where's your photos?" Showed her the ones the traffic dept had seen [i]and[/i] stapled to the application form (which has to be in Arabic btw), only for her say they are wrong, and the photo's must show me wearing my glasses, as she has to tick a box on the form saying 'wears glasses'. And no, she couldn't tell me where the nearest photo shop was!! Mission abandoned until steam has stopped pouring out of DH's ears!
[b]Why does no-one ever tell you this stuff[/b]?? I just want to go home :(
