    • Hits:201

    There are four main points for the promoting road test on small vehicle driving license:
    1.Changing traffic environment.
    2.It is expected to change nationals’ independent driving competence and confidence after obtaining the license as well as the general situation of afraid of driving on the road.
    3.It is to make sure the driving license in our country in line with the international standards due to the current trend in the approach of “equality and mutual benefit” and “mutual recognition” on driving licenses taken by many countries in the world. The small vehicle driving license tests in most advanced countries carry out road test, like USA, Australia, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea. Germany, Portugal, and Austria decided to not offer us the treatment of driving license exchange because road test is not implemented for license test in our country.
    4.It is expected to enhance overall road safety and correct bad driver’s behaviors, such as running the red light, forcibly crossing the railroad crossing, speeding, making a turn or changing lane without using turn signal, and failing to open the door in two-stage when getting out of the car. We hope to guide the teaching at driving schools through road test and correct bad driver’s behaviors.

In addition, checking before driving and actions before starting to drive are added in order to urge drivers develop good habit.
    2.Road test: It is a test of driving on an actual road. The purpose is to make sure drivers follow traffic regulations and enhance driver’s defensive driving awareness. The subjects of test include intersection, zebra crossing, pulling over temporarily by the roadside, driving on the lane, changing lane, making a turn at a crossroad, making a U-turn, and compliance of traffic rules.
