fantastic post.. will be useful to everyone.. i passed a month back.. pls correct some mistake...you can go for next test on 8th day...i.e. after one week... i personally gone for 3 test on 3 weeks...at last got it.
Is it a latest change from 15days to 8 days? Also some talk is going on that Males also can appear for road test with automatic transmission?! is that true.?
Hey, well we are all hoping for that but as an Omani citizen who know people working in the ROP, I don't think so. It is just a rumor but let's cross our fingers and hope for it. I have passed the drums (manual gear) but I haven't passed the slope :( so I still gotta do the slope and the driving test
what is the latest waiting period after failing to appear the test again. plz help me ppl , i m dying to giv test. had enough of nataraja service in this hot boiling season.
I'll never forget the day I got my drivers license. It was one of the best days of my life. I have never stopped loving to drive cars, it is a passion of mine. Feruccio http://www.joynerlawoffice.com/
Awesome post! Very informative and helpful for visitors especial for those who are looking for those who are looking for such type of information. Thanks for sharing. Houston Driving School
One of my friends (who had card, not the laminated one) got it without attestation. Other one (who had the laminated License) didn't do the Ministry of Ext Affirs attestation,but he got exemption from Drum & Slope tests.
I too got my learners exempted from drum and slop tests without getting it attested as I was having a valid licence card from india( issued 1 year before)
Update: (Dec 2014): To get an exemption from Drum & Slope tests, Just go to the ROP (Preferably ROP Seeb) with your Native Driving License (Laminated/ Card etc.., anything will do. But it should be 1 year Valid). ROP is not keen about the Embassy & Ministry of External Affairs attestation these days.
nice tips...appreciate your tips...just started to learn,,,,while practicing for drums....u view through mirror ..so at which point we should stop car and turn your streeing to enter in the drums...i hope u understood the question
thank you...for the good work....i feel all who pass and get license should pay you as royalty....after reading your manual the way you have guided..almost as a spoon feeding ..nothing missed.God bless you
Wonderful post Verghese. Really appreciate this post and time u spent on preparing these easy to understand guidelines. You've covered each and every thing, which expats need to know for driving license. I wish I could have read it quite earlier, and I am sure that it would have helped me to a great extent.
I started my driving sessions one and half year back. In between I took some long breaks. Today was my 7th try in Road Test in Muscat. Till 5th try, i can say that i did some or other mistakes. But during 6th and 7th, I can just say that I was not lucky. Both times, I just failed because someone abruptly entered the roundabout while I was already inside and was about to exit. Last time (my 6th try), one fellow in pick-up truck entered suddenly and the ROP applied brake to slow down my car, though I was in a controllable speed. And today even though I tried my best to take all precautions but still same situation arrived. ROP asked me to take u-turn from Roundabout and I took it successfully, almost. But exactly while exiting the roundabout, one person from right entered the roundabout even after seeing our car, and even after seeing the indicators. ROP suddenly caught my steering and gave horn (which I was supposed to do). Both times, single mistake. Well. I can only say my verdict here now for the people who are following this thread and who are still preparing for next road test :
Apart from learning Good Driving and all the necessary rules and regulations, we should also have presence of mind to take immediate WISE decision, in case others are doing mistakes in front of us, which is eventually going to affect us. With today's failure I have learned this lesson, and I am ready for my next try. Friends, we should lose hope at any cost, Till now I have spent more than 700 OMR in just training sessions and tests right from my first day. My trainer is charging little higher compared to others in every test which i don't want to mention here, he will be having his reasons and requirements. But he is a good guy and he taught me very well. Some of my friends advised me to change trainer, Some advised me to go other places in Oman and get license. But after all, I have to live in Muscat with my family, I want to pass my test in this place only. And what the trainer will do if its not in our luck today.
As we fail, we always blame strictness of ROP or some road conditions (like I was blaming till today after failing), but always think about your family. Today some plus or minus will happen to us due to our wrong driving, then the situation will be unpredictable. Like today. When that person entered the roundabout suddenly, I should have alerted him with the horn. The car following us especially while turning in roundabout is always trusting us and follow unless its a heavy vehicle or big SUVs which can view every thing even in front of our car. They can also hit us if we don't take "quick-n-wise" decision. I was just imagining, if I will be driving with my wife and my only 9m baby, in my car, and this kind of situation would have occurred then.... So with more failure I am getting more better. (I am not telling that people getting license in lesser tries are not good. My wife got license in her first try, 4 years back, and she is driving our car so perfectly, I should have started my driving before her :-) well i was bit lazy that time :-)). Ya, I agree, every time we fail, its hard time for us especially while paying money to our trainer (hardly 10 Rial less, than which we can give him after passing). This feeling will be with all of us, after all its our hard earned money which we are earning away from our country for our family. But its their occupation. We cannot think that we are paying extra for getting a failure. My personal opinion is "God knows better than us, what is better for us and when". After all its one time investment.
But still I have hope that I will get my license in next try and I will come back to this thread and post my experience.
Very well said..!!!! Really, it's also same my thinking. We are always blaming others but before that we need to think our mistakes and mind..!! Great post……….!!!!! Hope presently you already got your license. Please it’s a request to you Share with us your experience and journey how did you get license.
Excellent work on the tutorial for obtaining the Omani Drivers License, well done, hopefully in the future, there can be more detailed videos for the beginners to view, so that they can have a better understanding of what you so eloquently compiled, keep it up.
MUST READ IT BEFORE SELECT A TRAINER 3i wud like to add 2 important things
1ST When you select a trainer ( mudarrib) make sure he has the permit license ( tasreeh) of instructing otherwise at the day of test he will give u a new instructor mob no n dis instructor will be with you at backset with another car that u might have no idea can be gud one or bad one in other words u will be fail for sure even if u go 20 times for road test. do not let your instructor change the car for any cost even if drum test . 2nd thing make sure your instructor has a good condition car the best and easy thing to know it is gear movement of the car if it stucks at the tym of of taking from reverse to 1st gear it means there is a problem in gear box of the car while ur instructor will tell you that u r nt doing it in rite way and after 10 hours of driving eventuallyu will be messed up with it and than u will tell him to change the gear he will tell you release the half clutch n press it again than change the gear he is lying to you the instructor will never except his mistake and even if u learn his way of changing the gear by realeasing and pressing the clutch again at the day of test poilce will fail u because car is nt supposed to be driven dis way So the best way to save your hardly earn money check the car's condition first if u r nt satisfied leave him and the car immediately n look for another one. 3rd also make sure the nearest test area like im in ghubra nearest to me is QURM but because i was new in oman i used to go seeb which means if i take 2 hour of learning class 1 hour is for the distance from me to seeb in other words i was paying 14 rials for 1 hour classes.

attention plz..... there is some change in law regarding driving test by oman police...... now drum slop will mot exempt and you have to face all procedure...... now your domestic driving test not acceptable now no need to attest or verified form ministry of foreign affairs..... all whos now applying for fresh licence must have to face and clear the drum slop..... today i waited money and time for the attestation of driving licence which was not accepted by rop... cuz law changed so plzzzz beware ...... form qamart 0096895576056
Was of a great help to me.... Thanks Sir....:) Also if you can guide for documents to be carried to collect License after passing Final Road Test would be also helpful....
What a great post! Very useful driving tips, these tips will really help me to pass driving exam. I want to learn driving from some professional Port Macquarie Driving School. Can you suggest a good driving school?
Thanks for your effort, really it’s best article for all of us. Can you help me to find any other professional driving trainer like (Driving School in Muscat ) any driving school here in muscat..??
My little brother is working towards getting his drivers license and he is beyond stoked for it. Although he is excited, he is nervous about taking the written and driving test. I'll have to show him this and see if it can help him out at all. http://www.registryunlimited.com/motor_vehicle_and_driver_s_licences.html
I can say its an amazing work for the benefit and safety of all. I am driving perfectly since last 4 years in Dubai before moving to Sohar, Oman, last week.
I have Dubai automatic license, but came to know its of no use. So I have open new book and looking for an honest instructor who can train me to get Omani license at the earliest possible time. Can any one suggest me and give useful advice regarding instructor and their payment term. More over I stay in Falaj which is approx. 30 Km from Sohar toward Liwa, so transportation daily for driving is also one of the biggest challenge a part from managing time in office.
Thanks for the nice blog. It was very useful for me. I m happy I found this blog. Thank you for sharing with us,I too always learn something new from your post. Rijschool Haarlem
How many days after the slope and drum test can one take road test? Lets say one wttok test on October 1, 2015 then when can one take road test? Thanks
My instructor is informing me that I CAN'T do all the tests on the same day. After completing my barrel and hill and signs I must wait 10 days... confirm for me please.
Useful info!!!! Could you please also tell technique that can be used for the drum test, at what reference point should we start to move the car left or right? Many thanks
Thanks BV for the nice post...one suggestion for someone who is looking for a driving instructor...as someone already mentioned, check if the instructor you are engaging has a valid license from ROP for training. Its a green color card with their photo and other details on it. If the trainer does not have this, you will be forced to go with someone else on the day of the test (may be same car or other car). In any case, this trainer will not bother to give you correct feedback as he is only concerned about taking his share of 15 rials which he already got from your trainer. I am telling this from my own experience. One more suggestion is never ever go to Muscat Driving School, they are the worst in this field. They only know how to make money and moreover they only have around 3-4 certified trainers all others are not certified. Best of luck to all for your tests.
By the grace of God I passed the test in my 2nd attempt... I suggest Nasser for driving classes, very good teacher...his number is 99382703...as I mentioned above, never go to Muscat driving school. Had I taken classes from Nasser instead of MDS, I think I would have passed the test in the first attempt itself... All the best guys...
I have heard that new driving license holders should not involve in any accidents for some limited period....What is the period limit?? (If they met with accidents within that period because of their mistakes, ROP has the rights to cancel the new issued driving license.)..Can i get information regarding this???
An important thing that almost no one knows is that the minimum age for getting the book is 17 not 18. I was born in Apr 1992 got my book in 2009 Aug at 17yrs. I was giving my 3rd Road test on my 18th Birthday. I finally passed the Road test in May 2009 after almost 9 months and 6 road tests
Hi... Kindly help me by replying to the post.... I had applied driving licence in bahrain in 2008 and at that time in bahrain we head two test one inside and another outside... I had cleared inside test in the same year but I could not able to clear out side... Next year from bahrain I got transferred to India.. Now I'm in Oman... I have all document with bahrain driving book... Cab any exemption applicable.... Do suggest me team....
Benjamin Stupendous work and excellent way of advising.You have done a tremendous hard work for this article.
Today I passed my road test in the 5th attempt because of God's grace. Each police will take you to different places. Some important rules I learnt was always be patient on the road, Stop wherever there is a stop line even if the road is deserted with no traffic at all, roundabout speed should not exceed 40 km/h, wait in the roundabout till your turn comes, never ever enter the roundabout when a car is coming, you can wait as long as you can but dont be tensed even if the back car honks at you. Taking U turns be careful and maintain your speed.
Instructors selection should be done carefully. I have done in this way, I talked to 3 instructors and selected who knows good spoken English and somewhat young.
Important thing to keep in mind is that dont tell anyone before going for a test. You will be half relieved if noone knows about your test. ITS ALL UPTO YOUR CONFIDENCE AND FORTUNE LEVEL. 15% LUCK IS NECESSARY FOR PASSING.
Hi naturally like your web blog however you have to test the spelling on quite a few of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling issues and I to find it very bothersome to inform the reality on the other hand I’ll definitely come again again. Jobs in Oman
Getting DL in Oman is not so difficult if you know how to drive and have control on your nerves(don't get panic) think as the police man is your friend, be attentive to his orders but don't loose focus from the road, be confident not over confident. Its nothing like they don't want to give you licence unless you know how to drive, be cool and enjoy your test day. The best way to get DL in first test is to know how Drive. And another way is to get a better trainer. I met one who is gem of a person i will share his contact below, he helped me to get DL in just one training and one test. As i have driven for more than 6 years in GCC i did not had much driving problems here in oman. It is a bit difficult to get DL when you are new to Left Hand Drive. But Trust me if you have self confidence you can do it, just trust in your self keep that positive attitude when you go for test. The Instruction given by admin is most useful and will help you understand the better way. Trainers Contacts are as follows he is available in Muscat Name: Saif Mobile: 99499344
First of all my sincere appreciation for the effort you put in creating this wonderful document. It really helps me personally. I have given one attempt in Road Test but failed. Though I don't regret, I take it as an experience and willing to work on the feedback given by ROP during the Road Test. While I analyse myself in details, I find one more input would be helpful, if you have already got about it. The evaluation page in the driving license book, in which ROP have given his feedback against each parameters which is given only in Arabic. Do you have that page translated with any valuable inputs from that for us? Please reply if you're still on to it. Once again thank you and appreciate your dedication.
Hello Benjamin, Great work buddy... seeing a lot of effort going into the article... Thanks my friend for Excellent tips rich document. I wanna add here one slightly different issue but absolutely amazing for your car. It's about entertainment inside ur car. You may check it out Leroy Simmons
I hope that helps a lot regarding your car. Thanks once again buddy for what you gave us in here.
Great effort.. I had already droped my plan to get licence .. all my 4 attempts made to do so.. but now inshaallah i will try until i get it.. my trainer is jerk he will shout like harrasing.. all my confidence will go when he shouts.
Thank you Benjamin. Lovely post and appreciate your selfless effort. Really very useful for new comers like me. I am just one month old in Muscat and just started driving.
On side note I wish any video is available on road test.
Very constructive post; Thank you Benjamin. Still working on my skills to get a Licence afetr failing in two Tests.
Based on my bitter experience, my strong suggestion is that one should not enter into contract with Instructors.
After a lot of struggle I have now identified a good Instructor: Yunus Al Balushi, +96892911660. He works on daily payment basis and operates only in Darsait area. Good luck!
One important advice as given which I ignored today because of my shyness is that of changing car and instructor on your test day. I failed the drum test because the instructor that had been training me didn't show up today. He sent someone and there was a language barrier which demoralised me from the beginning. The dude still collected 25 OMR from me. Please my advice: Don't be shied. Its your money. Ask the instructor from the begining whether you will use the car you are used to. Am really sad today.

Drum slop have passed then also 3 time road test given still haven't got license, so I'm asking about maximum Excemption months after last road exam I'm.
Thanks for the useful tips. I passed my road test today on the 6th attempt. I would have gotten it on the 5th but the police said I stood on the wrong side of the roundabout which I doubt because the line is cut on it toward the place I was heading. I was asked to go full roundabout and headed to the same direction the last time. I got it. Thanks for the tips.
My driving instructor is very angry person.He shouts and angry when I do some mistake(actually not taught to me previously).I get panicked.i am so afraid of taking training .I see him hitting some students.he is not hitting me due to my age.my book him I don't understand what to do.i have cleared all except the last road test.one given the test and failed.i was driving in India and Saudi since 15 yrs(my sadi licence got expired long back).friends u r suggestions will be highly appreciated.thanks
dear change your trainer as we are making payment not doing classes free of cost. do not be worry or scared with anybody. and always keep book with your self

ReplyDeleteMUST READ IT BEFORE SELECT A TRAINER
ReplyDelete3i wud like to add 2 important things
1ST When you select a trainer ( mudarrib) make sure he has the permit license ( tasreeh) of instructing otherwise at the day of test he will give u a new instructor mob no n dis instructor will be with you at backset with another car that u might have no idea can be gud one or bad one in other words u will be fail for sure even if u go 20 times for road test. do not let your instructor change the car for any cost even if drum test .
2nd thing make sure your instructor has a good condition car
the best and easy thing to know it is gear movement of the car if it stucks at the tym of of taking from reverse to 1st gear it means there is a problem in gear box of the car while ur instructor will tell you that u r nt doing it in rite way and after 10 hours of driving eventuallyu will be messed up with it and than u will tell him to change the gear he will tell you release the half clutch n press it again than change the gear he is lying to you the instructor will never except his mistake and even if u learn his way of changing the gear by realeasing and pressing the clutch again at the day of test poilce will fail u because car is nt supposed to be driven dis way
So the best way to save your hardly earn money check the car's condition first if u r nt satisfied leave him and the car immediately n look for another one.
3rd also make sure the nearest test area like im in ghubra nearest to me is QURM but because i was new in oman i used to go seeb which means if i take 2 hour of learning class 1 hour is for the distance from me to seeb in other words i was paying 14 rials for 1 hour classes.
i just dont want others to waste money like me

I can say its an amazing work for the benefit and safety of all. I am driving perfectly since last 4 years in Dubai before moving to Sohar, Oman, last week.
ReplyDeleteI have Dubai automatic license, but came to know its of no use. So I have open new book and looking for an honest instructor who can train me to get Omani license at the earliest possible time. Can any one suggest me and give useful advice regarding instructor and their payment term. More over I stay in Falaj which is approx. 30 Km from Sohar toward Liwa, so transportation daily for driving is also one of the biggest challenge a part from managing time in office.
Once more thanks for your wonderful blog.

ReplyDeleteAfter 10 days if you passed drum and slope.

Many thanks
thakyou soo.... much
ReplyDeleteI have taken driving book on jan 2015,but i have not given any test till now .Do i am exempted from drum and slop test.
ReplyDeleteExcellent Instructions!!! Very helpful for those who wish/try to have a driving licence in Oman. Many thanks Mr. Benjamin. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks BV for the nice post...one suggestion for someone who is looking for a driving instructor...as someone already mentioned, check if the instructor you are engaging has a valid license from ROP for training. Its a green color card with their photo and other details on it. If the trainer does not have this, you will be forced to go with someone else on the day of the test (may be same car or other car). In any case, this trainer will not bother to give you correct feedback as he is only concerned about taking his share of 15 rials which he already got from your trainer. I am telling this from my own experience. One more suggestion is never ever go to Muscat Driving School, they are the worst in this field. They only know how to make money and moreover they only have around 3-4 certified trainers all others are not certified. Best of luck to all for your tests.
ReplyDeleteBy the grace of God I passed the test in my 2nd attempt... I suggest Nasser for driving classes, very good teacher...his number is 99382703...as I mentioned above, never go to Muscat driving school. Had I taken classes from Nasser instead of MDS, I think I would have passed the test in the first attempt itself... All the best guys...

ReplyDeleteBenjamin Stupendous work and excellent way of advising.You have done a tremendous hard work for this article.
ReplyDeleteToday I passed my road test in the 5th attempt because of God's grace. Each police will take you to different places. Some important rules I learnt was always be patient on the road, Stop wherever there is a stop line even if the road is deserted with no traffic at all, roundabout speed should not exceed 40 km/h, wait in the roundabout till your turn comes, never ever enter the roundabout when a car is coming, you can wait as long as you can but dont be tensed even if the back car honks at you. Taking U turns be careful and maintain your speed.
Instructors selection should be done carefully. I have done in this way, I talked to 3 instructors and selected who knows good spoken English and somewhat young.
Important thing to keep in mind is that dont tell anyone before going for a test. You will be half relieved if noone knows about your test. ITS ALL UPTO YOUR CONFIDENCE AND FORTUNE LEVEL. 15% LUCK IS NECESSARY FOR PASSING.
ALL THE BEST GUYS.

Hi Guys,
ReplyDeleteGetting DL in Oman is not so difficult if you know how to drive and have control on your nerves(don't get panic) think as the police man is your friend, be attentive to his orders but don't loose focus from the road, be confident not over confident. Its nothing like they don't want to give you licence unless you know how to drive, be cool and enjoy your test day. The best way to get DL in first test is to know how Drive. And another way is to get a better trainer. I met one who is gem of a person i will share his contact below, he helped me to get DL in just one training and one test. As i have driven for more than 6 years in GCC i did not had much driving problems here in oman. It is a bit difficult to get DL when you are new to Left Hand Drive. But Trust me if you have self confidence you can do it, just trust in your self keep that positive attitude when you go for test. The Instruction given by admin is most useful and will help you understand the better way. Trainers Contacts are as follows he is available in Muscat

Hi Benjamin
ReplyDeleteFirst of all my sincere appreciation for the effort you put in creating this wonderful document. It really helps me personally. I have given one attempt in Road Test but failed. Though I don't regret, I take it as an experience and willing to work on the feedback given by ROP during the Road Test. While I analyse myself in details, I find one more input would be helpful, if you have already got about it. The evaluation page in the driving license book, in which ROP have given his feedback against each parameters which is given only in Arabic. Do you have that page translated with any valuable inputs from that for us? Please reply if you're still on to it. Once again thank you and appreciate your dedication.
With best regards

ReplyDeleteOne important advice as given which I ignored today because of my shyness is that of changing car and instructor on your test day. I failed the drum test because the instructor that had been training me didn't show up today. He sent someone and there was a language barrier which demoralised me from the beginning. The dude still collected 25 OMR from me. Please my advice: Don't be shied. Its your money. Ask the instructor from the begining whether you will use the car you are used to. Am really sad today.
