Salam Everyone! passed my driving test today with 5-6 months driving experience and zero prep for the test. Out of 40-50 only 4 passed including me. A lot of people had taken driving lessons and still they failed. Here are few tips:

- do breakfast please...
- take cash with you because you will have to pay nonsense fee multiple times
- observe the drivers giving test before you and note mistakes....
- drive DEAD SLOW
- USE MIRRORS PLEASEEEE
- while going forward keep the car left side as soon as steering gets in the line of the last cone at the right side (master cone), stop the car and cut the steering full right then go ahead.
- during reverse keep the car in the mid of the track OR a little right of the track, as soon as your tire gets in the line of MASTER CONE stop the car turn the steering full right and then reverse SLOWLY. IF YOU THINK YOU WILL TOUCH THE CONE BEHIND YOU GO A LITTLE FORWARD AND THEN AGAIN TURN THE STEERING RIGHT AND REVERSE UNTIL THE CAR IS STRAIGHT.
- most of the people were failing due to the FEAR, be cool and if you don't pass it's ok you will get the next attempt in 15 days.
- You can stop the car in between and adjust mirrors as you like but please don't RUSH at any point.

I met a friend of my father recently. He shared a business idea with me and asked for my opinion, so I thought I’d do some research first.

He recently bought a new mobile phone and during the purchase he had a detailed discussion with the seller about the mobile business — investment required, profit margins, market demand, etc. After that, he contacted 2–3 companies that are performing well in Pakistan, such as Infinix and others. According to him, they showed interest in partnering if he opens a shop at a suitable location.

His plan is to invest around 50 lakh PKR initially and open a mobile wholesale/distribution point. The idea is that nearby mobile shops (within around 10–15 minutes distance) would contact this shop whenever they need a specific mobile model requested by a customer. So instead of every small shop maintaining large inventory, this place would act as a central supply point for surrounding retailers.

At the same time, direct customers would also be able to walk in and buy mobiles from the shop, so it would work both as a wholesale distribution point and a retail outlet.

Does anyone here have experience with this kind of investment or business model? What are the major pros, cons, risks, or things that should be considered before entering this market?
