Not my car, I didnt think I'd be giving my test at the time. Assumed it would happen a couple days later. Dude told me to give it right then. I told him I didnt have my car and he called this guy. I gave him some cash to use his car for a minute. (And yes the driving test takes under 1 minute here)

Maybe I'm dumb, but I think the term is to "take a test", not "give a test", unless you're the one testing someone else.
Did you pass?
Before I even gave the test ....
I now have experience bribing people too
I was about to ask how much do they prepare you for the real world vs theory/traffic laws ... but I guess not much of that went on?
Ive been driving for years. People here don't really bother with licences.
Traffic laws are more like suggestions, suggestions to a person who can't hear em.
Even the driving test was to make one left turn and then reverse back from that turn. Thats it. Under a minute
Honestly looks fun to drive, would have preferred manual though :(
It was in a hell of a state. The interior in particular. Jesus
I love that even in Pakistan there are people who also say “Jesus” to convey astonishment 😂
Haha well I'd be shot for about 90% of the things i say or do here if people knew.
Also I'm sometimes in Pakistan, sometimes in Qatar.
Saying Jesus is more part of the internet lingo for me.
They wouldn't let me use mine. The seat belts were not the type that roll up into the wall. Had to borrow a friend's car. Guess I'm getting old.
This car had no seatbelt in it. They record videos of people giving tests here so the man gave me a lil fake belt to put on my shoulder.
lol, I could see myself driving that baby.
Suzuki Mehran. Probably the most common car here.
Nice. What year is it, and where is here?
Pakistan. I'm not sure what year it is, but I think the 90s
I miss Suzuki
it's the perfect city car. park it anywhere, drive it anywhere. nobody will steal it. nobody will try breaking into it.
the 800cc engine gives fantastic fuel economy. and its engine to body weight ratio makes it a proper beast in hilly regions.
this model was called the Maruti 800 in india (maruti tied up with suzuki here and the 800 refers to the engine displacement). its successor is the Maruti Alto (available in 800cc and 1000cc engine variants).
do look up the "King Alto" meme online to see how astonishingly well this design performs on the slippery slopes of the hinalayan foothills.
Yeah alto, cultus and Mehran are the 3 cars of this ilk
