Those of you planning on learning to drive, take note! Tougher driving tests are in store. Starting in May, the Ministry of Transportation will be offering road tests that involve driving on actual roads. Previously the system for obtaining a driver''s license involved learning in the grounds of test centers. Now the ministry wants to strengthen drivers'' techniques and their confidence to ensure safety on the roads. Before taking his driving test, this applicant checks his car all over before slowly driving his car out on the roads. This is the part of the new examination system for obtaining drivers licenses where hopefuls must show off their real-life driving skills.Miss LaiExaminee I think it is better to add on driving tests on roads outside the examination center because if you only practice driving on the tracks inside the examination center you may not necessarily be brave enough to drive on the roads once you get your license. Under the current testing system for obtaining a driver''s license, examinees only need to pass a written test and drive on the grounds of the examination center which simulate Taiwan''s roads and lanes. Starting in May, however, drivers will also have to show off driving skills on actual roads. Yuan Kuo-chiDirectorate General of HighwaysIn May, our new system for (real life) road tests will formally begin. In the past, our pass rate for obtaining a driver''s license overall was about 80 to 85 percent. With the addition of road tests, the pass rate is likely to fall. At the moment, we are expecting it to fall to 70 percent. In Taipei, 23 routes have been mapped for driving tests. The ministry is also preparing to amend relevant laws so that if other vehicles on the road do not make way for those taking driver''s tests, the fines incurred will range from NT$600 to NT$1800, the same as that for ambulances and fire trucks.
