UAE Driving Licence: You may have to take more than 40 classes in Dubai
Soon, new drivers in Dubai may have to take more than 40 classes before they attempt the test.
The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) felt the number of classes is insufficient to groom new drivers, as the pass percentage for last year was low. Out of the 366,025 people who appeared for the tests in Dubai last year, only 121,151 passed. The fail percentage was 66 per cent.
Decision-makers at the RTA say they are reviewing the minimum number of driving lessons now.
To an e-mail interview with Emirates 24|7, Arif Al Malik, director of drivers training and qualification department said, “Yes. Currently RTA is reviewing the existing 40 classes for the new drivers.”
He added, “We are reviewing the minimum lessons to reflect a reasonable pace of training so that the students will be in the right frame of mind, instead of insisting to go through tests prematurely. This usually results in high failure rates.”
He, however, was unable to reveal what would be the ideal number of classes. “The study is now in progress and when completed, we will be in a position to decide,” he added.
