Congratulations - Please be one of the careful drivers that checks his mirrors and uses indicators. We will be able to spot you from a long way away if you do as nobody else in Bahrain does lol

I was actually driving on the right lane one day and forgot my indicator on for like 10 seconds and I got shouted at by a local guy here. They seem to be allergic to indicators here.

I can understand your fear, the people here drive very dangerously. Just keep your eyes looking everywhere and change lanes when you can. People will pass you just to turn left infront of you. When you are trying to go left. The situation is awful but you will get used to it. Just try gentle drives in quieter areas until you feel more confident. Good luck

Also don't trust what you see on the mirror, especially if you are on the highway. Make sure there is enough room for you to change lanes as some of them drive far too fast.

Hi Akhil - well done. Happy to hear that you got your driving license. If you have driven back home, you will enjoy driving here. Big difference.

Best wishes.

Agreed. You do get some guys who drive so fast, you actually will not see them in the mirror.
