“The proliferation of uncertified instructors, substandard training, and allegations of collusion between examiners and instructors is putting lives at risk on our roads.”
Tuinaceva adds that Defensive Driving courses should also be introduced for Class 2 drivers.
“In addition to revising provisional driver conditions, Land Transport Authority must introduce defensive driving courses for Class 2 driver’s license holders.
