Dubai traffic: It’s easier to get a driving

licence

A key initiative that’s led to a boom in road users has been the introduction of the ‘golden chance’
scheme.

Before this year, those who obtained their driving licence in countries not approved by the Roads &
Transport Authority (RTA) would need to sit lessons and a driving test to convert it.

The ‘golden chance’ scheme has made it easier for people from countries including India, Pakistan
and the Philippines to get on the road.

This year, the (RTA) also introduced speedy delivery for those wanting to get their driving licence and
vehicle registration cards quickly.
