Those who failed the driving tests are asking for a free chance

Trainees to drive cars attributed their repeated failure in the driving test to the stubbornness of the Licensing Agency’s examiners with them in the driving tests and their insistence on recording mistakes they did not commit in order to confirm their failure in the driving test several times, according to their expression, pointing out that the testing period is not sufficient to show their skill or mistakes, expressing They expressed their dissatisfaction with being subjected to more training sessions, which sometimes reach 150 training sessions, and the owners did not succeed in obtaining a driving license, demanding that they be given the opportunity Second, a “free supplement” without undergoing further training sessions. For its part, the Licensing Corporation explained that “the examiner does not succeed and fail on his own, but is governed by laws and principles that determine who deserves to obtain a license and who must be retrained again. There are also small matters that trainees usually fall into and do not pay attention to and do not consider them mistakes, but they are among the points.” “They usually fail the basic tests in the examination.”

Mirror error

Nasser Abdel Halim, a trainee, said, “The stubbornness of the license examiners caused me to fail three times in a row for the same mistake that I did not commit in the first place, as the examiner saw that I was not using the mirrors correctly in the three tests, while I did not commit any error in the process of overtaking or moving from a lane.” To another, which depends primarily on the use of mirrors, and the duration of the test does not exceed two or three minutes at most, which is not at all sufficient to judge the extent to which I use mirrors or not.” He demanded With an accessory for testing without wasting time and money.

He continued, “The number of training sessions that I have taken has reached 80 so far, and the error in using mirrors is still the same, according to the examiner’s point of view. The problem is that these sessions cost me more than 4,200 dirhams, and I do not know whether I will have to take more classes, or whether I will pass.” Mirror error.

Not paying attention

Another trainee named Ahmed Abdel Aziz explained that “the total number of hours of training that I underwent was 150 hours, and the cost amounted to 7,500 dirhams, in addition to the cost of going back and forth to the institute and examination fees, which is more than 10 thousand dirhams. The problem is that this number of hours of training and failure more than five times.” In a row, the examiner did not intercede for me and did not confirm to him that I had learned the traffic laws and driving rules in the country by heart.”

He pointed out that “the five times I failed were all in agreement. The first three times the examiner determined that I should not pay attention to the road and not use the mirrors, and the last two times he canceled the first error and insisted that I not use the mirrors. What is surprising is that I had been driving a car in my country for more than For five years, I have undergone this number of training sessions within the country, and the examiner still insists that I do not use mirrors.” Another trainee, Muhammad Abdel-Aal, points out that “the official of the institute where he is training told him, after he failed the driving test for the third time, that the examiners are very stubborn, and that usually only 10 people out of the total number of applicants for the examination each day pass.”

Frequent errors

For his part, the Executive Director of the Licensing Agency at the Roads Authority, Ahmed Bahrozyan, confirmed that “inspection processes are governed by regulatory laws that the examiner cannot deviate from, and there is no room for the examiner’s whims, desires, or moods to interfere in the examination process,” noting that some trainees usually fall into… A group of errors that they may consider insignificant, but according to the traffic system, they constitute a cumulative group of errors that ultimately lead to their failure, indicating that they are trained on all of these matters, but some of them do not give importance to these matters. This is what ultimately leads to their failure to obtain a driver’s license.” He denied the idea circulated by some trainees that obtaining a driving license is linked to a period of time and that it is difficult to obtain it the first time.

He explained that “the matter is directly and solely related, which is the effort of the applicant for the license and his eligibility to pass the examination and test and obtain the driving license,” pointing out that there are many people who obtained driving licenses for the first, second, or third time at most, and few applicants for the examination are late in obtaining. On the license due to their repeated mistakes.” He added, “The institution reviews the results of the examination periodically, to determine the number of trainees who failed several times and presents them to a special committee from the institution to find out the reasons for their failure, address them, and subject them to a special examination that determines their level.”

Bahrozian called on trainees who have failed multiple times and have questions or doubts about the examination process to apply to the Licensing Institution and a special committee will be formed to examine them. He stressed that “the justifications given by some institute workers or trainers to the trainees that their failure is part of the examiners’ plan and that the number of successful people per day does not exceed 10 are incorrect, as the number of licenses issued by the institution (for the first time, renewal or replacement) is 400 licenses per day for all categories (vehicles).
