DRIVING LESSONS: Summer 2012

During my summer break, I went to Lebanon, my home country, for two months.The 13th of June 2012, I turned seventeen. Since I live in Kenya, where people drive on the left side of the road, I realized that summer 2012 was my only opportunity to learn how to drive on the right side, before I come back to Lebanon for university. So i asked around and all my Lebanese friends recommended Skaff driving school.( http://skaffdrivingschool.com/)

Skaff Driving School is One of the biggest driving school in Lebanon. They provide every single service related to driving:Teaching you how to drive properly, insuring you cars, doing all the paper work in the legal and official departments. All their cars have 2 driver's cabinets. (2 steering wheels and control pedals).

"Driving you safely for the rest of your life is our main interrest and product."

I got their number from a friend who learned how to drive through the company and I booked an appointment with one of the driving teachers, Nabil. I took twenty lessons in total, each an hour long. We drove all around Lebanon: Jounieh, Beirut, Adma, Feytroun... Skaff has a very efficient system: each student has to drive the previous student to their house, except if you're the first student of the day. Nabil was an amazing teacher, who helped me concentrate on driving even when listening to music or chatting him. 

In the beginning, I was scared an uncertain of my capabilities as a driver but with time i could see the improvement and at the end i felt like a professional driver. Now i'm confident i will pass my driver's license test as soon as i turn 18 in the summer of 2013!
