KUWAIT: The driving test system in operation at Farwaniya governorate's traffic department has been greatly improved by the recent introduction of a number of new initiatives
, including the computerization of the written part of the tests.
Department head Humoud Al-Roudhan said that the department had been able to overcome the problem of applicants having to wait long periods to carry out transactions by introducing an evening shift, enabling license applicants to submit their documents and obtain licenses at various times.
Around 908 non-Kuwaitis applied to the department for licenses in January, reported Al-Watan, with 745 of these passing the necessary practical and written tests, while a total of 1,532 individuals sat driving tests, with 749 passing them.
In March, meanwhile, 881 non-Kuwaiti applicants sat the written test, with 749 passing it, while 755 of the 1,572 who took the driving test passed, with only 48 percent of the non-Kuwaitis who sat driving tests between April 11 and April 15 passing them. - Kuwait Times
