The final road test usually takes place in areas like:

  • Mussafah
  • Corniche
  • Roundabouts & traffic-heavy zones

During the test, examiners look for:

  • Mirror checks every 5–7 seconds
  • Signal 3 seconds before lane change
  • Correct speed (50–80 km/h depending on road)
  • Proper blind spot check (over shoulder)

🚨 Why 40% of Students Fail the First Attempt

  1. Not checking blind spots properly
  2. Wrong roundabout entry
  3. Late signaling
  4. Harsh braking
  5. Unsafe lane change

β€œMost failures happen due to nervousness, not lack of skill,” says our senior instructor with over 15 years of Abu Dhabi training experience.
