The steps of the Department of Motor Vehicles were very cold at six in the morning in the middle of December. I had been waiting for this day for 16 years. I was first in line. It was all worth it when I drove away later that morning a fully licensed driver. The funniest thing about that day was that all of sudden I had no idea where anything was. Every day for the past several years I had gone with my mom to the grocery store and every day we drove by the school. Now that I was behind the wheel everything seemed new. Rights and Lefts had new meaning and new depth. It was exhilarating.
It was a thrill to get a driver's license in the Middle East. This required an official letter from my husband, translated into arabic, granting me permission to drive. Driving in the United Arab Emirates is like inserting yourself into a real life 3-D racing video game. In THAT game the winner is the one who gets no points. Stop signs seemed more like a suggestion than a traffic requirement. On a couple of occasions I ended up doing an extra loop around the four lane roundabout to get to the correct street.
