So I came to Pakistan from England and due to business I had to acquire a Pakistani driving licence as I could only use my British license for 6 months.
So after doing some research and asking some friends I went to the main driving licence centre located in DHA next to zamzama park. I had to acquire a learners license first so as I approached the gate and the guard kindly asked me what have I come for and pointed me to the direction of a desk.
as I approached the desk located out side the main building three overweight traffic officers were having there tea with not a care in the world as I rudely asked "sir I need a learners license" and was pointed in to the main building.
I entered and noticed the building was quite new and unexpected of a government building so being pleasantly surprised I approached the main counter seeing the building was empty due to monsoon rains and on every counter officers with 'gutkha' in there mouths and smart phones on hand. The officer on the counter gave me a 'hmm' a sort of what can I do for you as he was unable to speak 'sarcasm' due to his mouth being full of paan.
Anyhow he took my identity card and with much difficulty and a few spelling mistakes later completed the task of filling out my information in to the database after which i was directed to the payment office.
After handing over a copy of my identity card and 480 rupees i was handed a piece of paper upon which it read 'learners licence' with my picture and details and being told to return after 42 days.
before leaving i asked the officer if there would be any other way 'hint hint' to acquire my licence earlier, the officer ensured me after 42 days we will find other ways for issuing your licence instead of passing your tests so on a high note i left the office after approximate 20 minutes with my learners licence in hand.
