I am writing this letter to let you know that you are eighteen years old now, and you can have a licence, Happy birthday to you.

Before I start, a driving licence is important, therefore, you can’t start driving on street without it. While I’m not completely sure what I choose as a gift for you on your day, I imagine a driving course is a suitable gift for you, so, you will be a legal driver.

Moreover, I suggest a competent driving school in your city, the National School in Riyadh. When I used to go there to obtain my licence card, the staff were professional, and I don’t face any issues with their method.

Based on your awarness, I don’t beileve that you need to any advise to start your learning journey. Please let me know if you require other information to address any problem happen with you.

I look forward to seeing you,

Noura.
