It may have changed but when I lived in Alexandria the "driving test" was taken in the test centre car, at the test centre, and involved an s-bend reversing, the examiner then changed gear for you and you drove the course forwards.
Then you had to answer 5 theory questions. All the Brits who took the test together were asked the same 5 questions,and yes, they were in the same room at the same time!!!!!!!!!
So I think the Egyptian standard of driving is completely understandable, mad, but understandable. I just used to show my provisional licence and smile sweetly.
Hope this helps. Helen.
