First Trial for Saudi Driving License
After this, you need to take your first trial. The trial will have two different queues; you can choose a manual or an automatic car. If you choose an automatic car, you will get a Saudi driving license with the restriction code 1.
Most probably, the guy who is taking the trial will be a Saudi with minimal understanding of English. So, it is better to know some basic Arabic words like Right, Left, Stop, Start, and Reverse.
In the trial, take care of a few things. You should not be hurried; take your time to adjust your seat, side mirrors, back mirror, and steering, and fasten your seatbelt.
If you are successful, he will give you a grade Alif “A,” which means you are ready for the final test. In another case, you will have to attend classes.
Computer Test for the Saudi Driving License
If you are given a grade “A,” you will have to deposit SR 100 for the class for instructions on the Computer Test.
