My first UAE failure

I didn't see it coming at all, I failed the assessment driving test I was given by the driving center. It's almost impossible for someone who's been driving for more than 4 years to fail in a driving test, did I really deserve it? I don't really know.. Considering the "mistakes" I did...

Why? Everybody told me it's all about business.. I have been assigned to take 6 more classes, and pay extra 460 dhms, well I don't know about that either.

But what I do know is that I certainly didn't deserve that quality of treatment, the woman who tested me was all over the phone arranging a "wasta"! -wasta means: giving priority for things to happen for people you know-.

I was the only one who understood what was going on because I was the only Arabic girl there. Having said that, it was obvious she wasn't paying attention to our driving, and a lot of mistakes were made and she never mentioned them their reports, I'm assuming because she was busy with other stuff... Her phone maybe!

The way she was talking to us, giving us orders, and the way she gave us the results was disrespectful! I was more upset because of that than the actual failing, I believe no one deserves being treated like that.

My only question is: if we are to be tested for road driving to ensure we all drive perfectly safe, who tests them to do their work perfectly? and who ensures the quality of it?
